We called it FoldShot because that’s the whole idea: it folds, and it shoots — hard.
Why a folding slingshot
Every slingshot we’d ever owned had the same problem. The classic Y-frame is great in your hand and useless everywhere else — too bulky for a pocket, too awkward for a pack, always left behind in a drawer. A tool you can’t carry isn’t really a tool.
So we built one around a single question: what if it disappeared until you needed it? FoldShot collapses to the footprint of a credit card. It rides flat in a wallet, a glovebox, a tackle box, a range bag. Then the arms swing out and lock in one motion, and you’re holding a full-size shooter.
…and shoots — hard
Folding was the easy part. Making it hit like a real slingshot took the rest of the time. We chased band geometry for months — the anchor points, the draw angle, the exact length of 1745 latex — until the compact frame delivered genuine velocity instead of a toy’s flick. The chassis is high-density ABS so it can take that tension, again and again, plus the drops and weather that come with actually carrying something.
Then we hollowed out the handle so it carries its own ammo. Fourteen rounds of 6 mm steel, right in the grip, so you’re never patting your pockets for the next shot.
Built to be on you
That’s the entire brief. Fold-flat, deploy in seconds, hit hard, survive the elements, and never be a hassle to bring along. Every FoldShot ships ready to shoot — pre-rigged bands, a paracord lanyard, an allen key, and a starter pack of steel — because the best slingshot is the one that’s already in your pocket.
