Folding slingshot
Folding Slingshot with Picatinny Rail
Open, a 19.7 in braced frame with a full sight line. Folded, 11.4 in with nothing sticking out. This folding slingshot is the one that actually goes in the pack, because the rigid one stays at home.
One configuration, complete: two arrows, steel balls and spare bands are in the box.

Why folding
The best slingshot is the one you actually brought
A rigid rifle frame shoots beautifully and lives in a cupboard, because 24 inches of fixed frame does not fit anything you pack. A folding slingshot gun that collapses to 11.4 inches changes that arithmetic - and this one keeps the shoulder brace rather than trading it away for the hinge.
- 11.4 in folded - fits a pack side pocket instead of being strapped to the outside
- 10.7 oz, so carrying it costs you nothing you will notice
- Opens and locks in one motion - no loose parts to assemble in the field
- Keeps the brace most collapsible frames give up to get the fold
How it works
Open, load, mount, shoot
Three-step band installation and spare bands in the box, so a snapped band is an inconvenience rather than the end of the session.
Unfold and lock
The frame opens to 19.7 in and the hinge locks out. Check the lock is fully seated before you draw - this is the one step that matters.
Choose your ammunition
8 mm steel balls for target work, or fit a 6.5 in arrow for around 98 ft/s. Two arrows and a supply of balls are in the box.
Mount a sight if you want one
The Picatinny rail on the top deck takes standard accessories, so the optic you already own goes straight on and stays zeroed.
Brace, release, fold
Shoot it two-handed like any folding slingshot rifle, then fold it back to 11.4 in and put it away.
Results depend on your draw, band condition, ammunition and technique. The manual supplied with the product takes precedence over anything written here.
The detail
A Picatinny rail on a frame this small
The rail is what separates this from every other folding slingshot at the size. Mount a sight, a scope or a torch you already own, keep it zeroed between sessions, and shoot with a reference point instead of instinct alone. Accessories are not included - the rail is there so you can use yours.
Standard Picatinny accessories only. Check the rail slot spacing against your mount.

Responsible use
Before your first shot
A folding frame adds one check to the routine. Do it every time.
Check the hinge is locked
A partly folded frame is the one way this design can hurt you. Confirm the lock every time you open it.
Assemble to the manual
Fit bands as the three-step guide documents and use only 8 mm steel balls or the supplied 6.5 in arrows.
Eye protection on
For you and anyone nearby. Bands, pouches and ricochets fail without warning.
Back your target
Solid backstop, clear space behind and around it, never toward people or animals.
Ownership and use rules vary by country, state and city. Confirming what applies where you live is the buyer's responsibility.
Questions
Folding slingshot questions, answered
Something not covered? Contact us and we will check the documentation.
How small does the folding slingshot actually get?
11.4 inches folded, from 19.7 inches open, at 10.7 oz. Nothing protrudes when it is closed, so it goes in a pack side pocket rather than strapped to the outside.
Is this a folding slingshot rifle or a handheld slingshot?
Both descriptions get used. It has a brace and is shot two-handed like a slingshot rifle, but it collapses like a compact frame - which is the whole point of the design.
Can it shoot arrows?
Yes - 6.5 in arrows at approximately 98 ft/s, and two are included. It also shoots 8 mm steel balls.
What fits on the Picatinny rail?
Standard Picatinny accessories: a red dot, a compact scope or a torch. No sight is included - the rail is there so you can fit the one you already own.
Does the hinge loosen over time?
Check the lock before every session, as you would on any folding frame. If it develops play, stop using it and contact us.
Can I buy replacement bands?
Yes - spare bands ship in the box, and we can confirm which of the band sets we stock fits this frame.
