- So this is it. It's finally here.
16 color combos. New FlipClip X. Customizable frame. Color bundles. Optional handle weight.
It's everything you've wanted in a slingshot. simple-shot.com/scoutlt?...
In this video you'll really dive into the slingshot:
How to initially set it up.
Install your scales.
Install bands.
Install the lanyard.
Alternative banding.
Introducing the brand new Scout LT. The result of years of work and listening to our customers, the Scout LT is the little brother of the Scout XT, but no less capable. What is the difference? Good question. Let's dive in . . .
Let's start with color.
With four frame colors and the option to bundle all the palmswell colors, your slingshot can be tricked out in no time. Mix and match frames and palmswells for up to 16 different combos. We're offering 5 combos standard: Original Green, Camo, Double Black, Hunter Camo, and New Brown (we need your help naming it; more on that later).
The Frame.
Keep it simple and you've got a thin, pocketable frame with a pinky hole.
Are you a wrapper? Imagine the possibilities for those of you into paracord wraps!
Attach the palmswell scales to give your frame a more substantial grip (you can even swap sides for varying grips).
Add in the optional weight for the handle and the Scout LT is just loaded with possibility.
And, of course, you can wrap and tuck. The forktips will receive tie-ins like a champ while accommodating the latest FlipClip X for Scout LT.
Banding options? Yeah, we've got you covered!
Two years ago when the Scout LT was just a concept, there were several requirements. At the top of the list: the best banding system in the world.
And while FlipClip X was the obvious choice, there was one important factor. No left and right components. While Scout XT has forktips requiring a left and right FlipClip, Scout LT has truly universal forktips.
What does that mean? It means every clip is the same. No left or right.
No swapping clips to convert from OTT to TTF.
Wanna shoot tubes? Thick flats? No problem.
Again, FlipClips have come of age. After literally years upon years of refinements, this is the band attachment to rule them all.
Easily band up tubes (single and looped), fat bands, tiny bands, or wide bands with ease.

I just ordered mine and I’m so freaking excited. Months of research led me here to my first one being the scout and everyone saying it’s the best on the market. I bought the weight too. This guy in the video did a perfect job. If he doesn’t own the company then give this man stock in it cause he’s the reason you’re successful.
He's the owner and there's no competition to match his products and wisdom.
Yea nathans the man!
Ive hunted rabbits with 10mm tubes all my life. Just converted my home made slingshot to 4x1mm bands. Its even faster and more accurate. Mine will shoot marbles 40ft in about a quarter of a second. Now its even faster with bands
It's June 2023, and today I just received my very first SCOUT LT slingshot, ever ! I have never tried a slingshot other than a kid in the 70's toy. I'm excited to get into the sport and the competitions look like fun social gatherings with non stop laughter.
Was on the fence about what I wanted for my first modern slingshot but this has helped me tremendously thanks for sharing and everything you do for the community!
🥃cheers🍻
I got one of these two weeks ago. I was using a Daisy B52. I had no idea how much accuracy I was sacrificing, and with light ammo this thing shoots just as fast, maybe faster. It's great!
This is literally the best instructional video / owners manual I have ever seen. Well done, thanks for the great product, and happy slinging!
Glad it was helpful!
Well done mate , you've made it even more versatile.
We talked about this in bama last year and brother you naild it ! And yes there is a hype you know me I'll probably end up with one of every color .might make the 6 or 7 scouts I have now jealous .
Can't wait to see you again my friend.
Hippie
Just received my Scout LT. I ordered it from Fowler’s Makery and Mischief website. Great product 👍👍
Love this slingshot. I have the scout XT. I wasn't really into it. I got this made way different. It's my go to slingshot right now. Great product.
You guys are amazing, thankyou for your awesome products, time and customer service. This is how a company should be run, absolutely great stuff.
Lots of fun. This is the First flat bands slingshot I've owned. Easy to setup and use. Simple Shot customer service is outstanding. Thanks for your knowledge and time
Thanks for the kind words and glad you're loving it! 👊
I loved the content! I just couldn’t hear as fast as you talked. Maybe a little slower for old guys like me. Thanks for the video!
Got the LT yesterday. Love it!
Just want to say, very very big respect for you and your shop, you have done amazing job since all the years and ever make very great stuff,with very solid accessory,you are the one who make us dreaming,Thanks a lot for your slingshot company,for the best quality of your stuff, Thanks a lot for all,i have just order a new Scout LT (this is not my first simpleshot fron you!)to support you in this bad time.
my best regard.🙂
Thank you very much!
I'm saving pennies for mine already. Can't wait finally, but I need a camo one!
Oh Yeah the Squirrels in my neighborhood are Gonna be So Excited to hear about your new product and my new toy!😂🙏
Absolutely amazing and versatile catapult! If only the fork tips were a little wider (25-30mm), doubt I'd be shooting any other frame:) Looking forward to trying the Torque though. Keep up the good work!
Just got mine in the mail today. I just set it up and I definitely like it alot. I love my torque but this one feels perfect and I'm going to try TTF for the first time. Simleshot is the best
This looks D-bizz ! I got my son a scout from yous as I picked the torgue and im addicted to it ! But man does that scout feel nice 👌🏼 but hey I hope father Xmas defo has me down for this version, simple but ohhh sooo multifunctional innso many ways 💪🏼🤘love this 💯
Fathers day sorted and I cannot wait to get mine here in the UK. Great video and looking forward to slinging some mud.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@simpleshot first packet of ammo is almost done. Great bit of kit.
I have ordered two of these and now waiting on them to arrive. I will let you know how I do with them! Can't wait.. Jack
Love the Scout LT, especially the Pro version. After 5 years and 30 frames including beautiful cast aluminum and handmade Chinese, I decided to pick just one frame, bands and pouch, quit experimenting and get accurate with it. I now use All Simple- Shot stuff. The new Beautiful well made aluminum Pro LT with handle weights is the BEST for me. The other ergonomic frames feel good in my hand in the house, look beautiful but it is when shooting 50+ rounds well, without once thinking about your frame, that's what is important. Some frames feel better than they shoot. Many little design features add up to the total package. GO LT.
hi Nathan nice to see you about again top vedio pal met you at Cheltenham outside we a had a chat About how many phesent there were about plenty of game catapults are coming on so we'll now great design from over the pond good on ya
I ordered 2 today and eagerly waiting to shoot them,, I was having trouble with applying a coupon and hit the contact tab and in very short order Adam was helping me out and stayed on the chat line until my order was complete about 25 minutes because I'm old and slow,, Thank you Adam excellent customer service .........
You are very welcome. Always happy to be of service.
Just got mine. Wanted to snag one before they went out of production 😁
WHAT A AMAZING VIDEO FOR THE CUSTOMERS I WISH EVERY COMPANY WOULD DO LIKE THESE THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU HAVE REALLY NICE SLINGSHOTS GREETINGS FROM GERMANY !
Thank you so much; glad you enjoyed it.
There's a million slingshots out there to be had simple shot is the best of them. They will sell you whatever you need and they'll ship it to you right away. I own an original scout.
Thank you so much for your support.
I just received one myself. I have also already done a review for my channel. It's such a nice slingshot.
Just bought mine! Can’t wait! Catchbox to boot! Working on buying one of everything in your inventory it would seem 🤣. Thanks for the fantastic products.
Good luck! Keep up posted. :)
Will do! I’ll try and get ya a little video on my review too. Simpleshot has been an awesome company to deal with, answered all my silly newby email questions, and the online slingshot community as a whole has been friendly, mature, and inviting.
Ótimo trabalho. Thanks bro. 🇧🇷
I just ordered the scout lt. I'm very excited, another obsessive hobby I can dive into! I ordered a couple extra sets of bands from simple shot set for 7/16 steel ball. I was wondering what bands come with with scout lt?
This slingshot has my entails in the name!! I must have it
I can't but help feel there is a scary amount of R&D gone in here. While the frame remarkably simple you can see the incredible quality of the product appreciate what's gone into it.
*two thumbs up*
This means a lot. Thank you.
It has been a lot of R&D indeed. (Nathan shot a prototype of this for the last two eastern tournaments he shot - one was a year ago)!
Hi could you possibly tell me if cuttung bands diagonally changes the dynamics of the band? Or is it ok? Also why do some forks have like a disc or almond shape at the top? Does it not cut the bands?
Amazing design !
Got the scout love it.
this a great slingshot ! buy you will love it.
This looks cool :) I have a Scout with the FlipClip X. I like the look and size, but I sure can't aim it accurately. I keep practicing though!
Yes sir, I'm having some of this one. thanks Nathan
Ken Haygarth hey pal 👍🏻, great to see your still slinging that rubber mate 😉, ps a old timer from across the pond 🍀😉🤘
@@whitefeatherslinger8194 Hey how you doing?. this old timer is getting older HaHa
It has reached my Japan home finally on Monday.
The impressions tried out are light, and it's easy to grasp and it's easy to shoot, and are hit against a target easily and are best.
Time prefers to take a review video.
My 1st 3 shots with my new scout lt were all on target. I didnt want to shoot again incase I lost my 100% accuracy record. I love it. I also added the weight and it has now become my 1st choice replacing my ocularis. I also switched from ttf with the ocularis to ott with the scout lt without any issues. Only been using it 2 days and can hit a can at 9 yards without even sighting in. This thing is amazing, thanks Nathan
So glad you like it! Keep at the practice.
I own every 4 simple shot sling shots and love all of them. I just ordered my 5th, this one as a birthday present to myself.
Which is your favorite
@@Wreckz_Tea hmm. The old school scout is solid, the new scout is nice, but I always find myself pocketing the axiom ocularius
@@Stuartbig Axiom will be my next for sure. Thanks
You should make a clip with a fibre optic sight, most chinese frames use them and they are becoming very popular in the UK and ireland I find they have really improved my accuracy.
I think that frame would be awesome with a fibre optic on the clip
I am new to this and purchased the scout lt which side is the shooting side should the screws be facing the shooter or the target. Thanks
I love the palm swell and even have the weight but turns out I like using my pinky for just that bit of stability.
We built this frame for EVERYONE! 👊
Nice slingshot I have the Axiom Ocularis and love it I’ve been trying to decide what my next one will be
We have a good guess. Axiom Ocularis fans are going to LOVE this one.
SimpleShot it will be my next for sure
Ive been using the uk ppmg+ but i find it hard to attach flats to it... i may need to try this for the clamps
I have been shooting slingshots on and off for several years. I have a really nice collection, and many sizes and styles. But I constantly switched off between them. Even during one shooting session. If I started missing, I'd pick up another model. I never worked through and corrected my bad habits. Recently I decided to pick one model and put the rest in a box, and shoot this one exclusively. After a few days of shooting them all. I settled on the Scout LT. With the better more efficient latex The trend now is to smaller frames and lighter ammo, easily portable and pocketable too. Even though I have preferred TTF Band (through the forks) attachment. I think this model shoots and aims best for me OTT (over the top) band attachment. I am now shooting only 5/16 size steel. With matching simple shot bands. Wow, I have finally figured out the best anchor point and pouch release. The cans don't have a chance anymore. I bought an orange frame so I can better see my aiming point in the darker woods. I got a couple more frames, the same LT so I can soon experiment with lighter bands and clay biodegradable ammo in the woods. And plastic practice ammo in my motel rooms. All with identical frames. I got a foldable catch box from Amazon for $16 that folds up the size of a saucer but springs open full size. It's great. This has been a great move for me.
So glad you found which one works best for you!
Im ordering this as my first slingshot since i was 10. Cant wait! Squirrels and rabbits beware
Beautiful catapults.
Many thanks!
One of best sling shot evermade why change a great stem flip clip seem to have improved
Another excellent instructional video. Question: Why important to attach lanyard? Also, looks like Phillips head fasteners on clamps would help with centering and holding screwdriver.
If the screws are 1/4 20. ..go to the hardware store and get phillips head
What is the difference with this and the axiom ocularis. Other then the plugs vs clips.. what are the pros and cons of the two slingshots?
When does the projectile leave the pouch, in OTT & TTF?
What ammo size is the band set up for that comes with the scout lt?
Very good!!!!! Divulgando sempre!!! Like com CERTEZA!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🎣🎣🇧🇷
Can I attach 23mm bands to the frame if fork tip only 20mm wide?
Update on my new scout LT. Just managed to hit 5 dead ringers in a row on a 1.5 inch target at 33ft using TTF with simpleshot's 12×18mm bands at their original 10.5in length and 3/8 steel ball. I've never shot TTF before and never managed even 2 back to back on that target and I shoot my torque every day. I think I found my future competition slingshot. HIGHLY recommend!
My only complaint is that I would much prefer those bands to come with the slingshot rather than the big heavy bands. Can barely hit a 1.5ft target with those things and only if I'm aiming somewhere else entirely 😅
My Favorite 🤙🤙
Thanks!
Freaking epic video. Other companies can learn lots from marketing here.
Now That Looks Really Cool, I Would Like You Do Four Bands On Each Side, And Could you Please Tell Me What The Draw Weight Is On That Slingshot?
👏👏👏
Wil the clips work on a Scout original with LR clips.. ?
Which is better? Over the top or through the folks??..
❤
Thank you.
Most people's favorite color is blue. Why they don't offer at least one shade of blue in these is strange, after all, it's in their logo. Their sales of these would increase too. 💭 ( A deep terquise blue frame with black scales to match the band color would be 👌! Hope you read ur comments SS.)
Hi.
Do you think that its possible shooting without a pouche?
Only with one piece of band on the fork?
The results for accuracy would not be good. It would be impossible to get the ammo in the exact same spot each time as well as the exact same stretch around it.
@@simpleshot Thanx 👋
You are very welcome.
Good video. Now I just need to learn what ‘over the top’ versus ‘through the forks’ means. I assume one is sideways
We've got you covered, friend. You are not the only one with this question, so we've answered it a few times!

I've decided on the Scout...was the xt but going to go with the LT. Like the Pro, especially the cranberry color, but for over twice the price for metal and a cheap box Not worth it...bummer. now just trying to decide on color. huh
GREAT VIDEO, LOOKS AWESOME !!! One ?, Why an Old Time Straight Head SCREW ( Seen U Slip out A few Times in the Video! ) Over a Much Improved PHILIPS HEAD ?
Great question.
While a philips is far better for control, the slot is large enough to be worked with a coin, washer, the back of your knife, etc. It's strictly to be as tool-less as possible!
@@simpleshot GOOD ANSWER !!!THANKS !!!
LOOKS Like U Have been RELIGIOUSLY Wearing Your Sunglasses !!!
@@troymintz1101 Safety First! :)
What's the advantages of over or threw the forks? I know it's what ever you like but I'm sure there are advantages and disadvantages
Probably the most "popular" reason is the sighting down the band. Some like to sight down the width of the band and some sight down the edge. OTT gives you a very thin sight down the band. TTF gives you a much wider sight.
Also, TTF generally brings the shot closer to your hand.
@@simpleshot thanks!
I live in the UK and wanted one of these but the store here doesn't sell the weight or spare clips. Seems silly just to sell the slingshot.
Does it come with a case? I saw a video with a case.
That was the Limited Edition version!
Can you PLEASE do a Scout XT owner’s manual video?
Here is a link to the Scout XT Owner's Manual. There is a video in it for the FlipClips X use.
Ok,why do you use two types of screws? Meaning philips head and flat? Why not both one or the other then you only need one tool to service?
We're hoping that once your scales are on, they're on. Philips works much better for this little screw.
But the FlipClips use a large flat head so you can use a washer, coin, knife, etc. You should only need one tool to service. Swapping swells is just a cosmetic change. :)
@@simpleshot im wondering also,any issue shipping to mass? I want to order a couple but amazone won't ship to mass which is funny,I can carry a concealed handgun but can't order a slingshot lol if I order straight from you do you see any issue? Let me know thanks for the info you seemed trustworthy and well informed and answered my questions exactly
Did you forget about the weight for the handle or is it not included?
The Handle Weight is an optional part like the Thumb Screws.
Will this shoot 7/16 okay? And will it take small game okay?
Absolutely. This is a very popular hunting slingshot.
🌹💖🌹
Can you get this in uk
We ship to the UK and imagine our UK dealers will be ordering soon!
i would like a axom LT
Was this a surprise drop or did I not get the memo?
We did send out emails announcing it, but we also let the CZcams crowd know first thing!
@@simpleshot Thank you
Where can you buy in the uk please
We ship to the UK, or ProShot sometimes carries our products!

2020 and no uk supplier , only copies, you must be losing sales
Check out our UK supplier at proshotcatapults.com. And this one has not yet been copied, just give it some time. The best designs are always ripped off.
$40 plastic slingkrap
A Phillps Head 1/4 x 20unc should have been used instead of slot screws.
A slot was specifically chosen because who carries around a Philips driver? But the slot is easily turned by all sorts of things, for example, a coin, the back of a pocket knife blade, a washer, or any other thin flat thing you can think of!
👊
Look like Elon musk
Need a full metal version or gtfo.
Cani i have a sling shot for free😅 plsss
