Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Standard (black) and Pro Pouch (blue)?
The Standard (black) pouch is already attached to the The Pocket Shot when you purchase one. It is the old faithful pouch getting up to 300 fps. The latex compound has some properties that make it a little more durable and it has a reinforced tip. The wall thickness provides a strong pull of about 24 pounds.
The Pro (blue) pouch is included inside The Pocket Shot. This pouch gets up to 350 fps and in some cases over 350 fps. The latex compound has a little more snap, but loses some of the durability. This pouch is great for any competitive shooting.
Both pouches are included with The Pocket Shot order. The bands are easily changed out in less than a minute. We encourage customers to try both and see what they like best. We are constantly testing new compounds to provide the best performing pouches.

Can you ship The Pocket Shot to my country?
The Pocket Shot is the only circular slingshot in the world and has been greatly accepted. There are some countries that restrict the sale of traditional slingshot even though we are not a slingshot by definition (a forked stick, to which an elastic strap or a pair of elastic bands connected by a small sling is fastened to the two prongs, typically used for shooting small stones). The Pocket Shot is a new product category, but is still considered illegal in some countries including but not limited to Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and some parts of China. It is your responsibility to check you local laws before ordering.
