A gloveshot style slingshot, popularized by Joerg Sprave. The Montie Gear GloveShot Slingshot is a high-performance slingshot which incorporates a hand brace to allow for more stability and the use of bands with higher pull weight. Bracing against the back of the hand rather than the forearm allows this slingshot to comply with laws which in some states, provinces, and countries which have banned slingshots that brace against the forearm.
Bracing against the back of the hand means that the slingshot has horizontal handle, and you are shooting over the top of your hand. Therefore the slingshot is meant to be shot with your arm being almost in-line with your shoulders, reminiscent of the positioning present when shooting a bow. This allows you to aim down the length of your arm.
The three main parts of the GloveShot are held together by four stainless steel pins and two stainless steel check nuts. The check nuts can be unscrewed allowing the GloveShot to be quickly disassembled and reassembled for easy storage and transportation. The same construction allows the handle to be flipped around for righties or lefties.
As with all Montie Gear slingshots, the 16 lbs pull weight flat band provides a high-performance accurate shot. But since this slingshot allows for higher weight bands to be used more easily you might want to also consider purchasing an additional double flat band with a pull weight of 30-35 lbs.
The frame is waterjet cut from aluminum for strength, and anodized aluminum for durability and quality surface finish. Paracord with a 550lb breaking strength is use to wrap the slingshot and for the brace. The GloveShot slingshot is Heirloom Quality, Troublesome Gap Tough and Made in America.

Care and Maintenance
• Always examine the band and pouch before use for small nicks, tears, or punctures that may cause the band to break. If you find any flaws, immediately discard the product and replace before use.
• Store all bands out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. This is important to maximize the life of the band, especially in storage.
• Never use rocks or other sharp objects as ammunition. Rocks and sharp objects will damage the band and pouch.
• After contact with chlorinated water, rinse the bands with tap water and dry flat.
• If the bands becomes sticky, clean with mild soap and water, dry flat, and then dust with talcum powder.
Note: Please keep in mind that the slingshot bands are made from a natural material. This means that we have no way of predicting the life of the band. Even the best maintained bands can fail inexplicably or have a short life time. Despite our best efforts, using high quality industry standard materials and testing; approximately 1% of the bands fail early. As a result we strongly encourage you to purchase extra bands.
