The Pocket Shot, Here’s the Evolution of the Slingshot

Pulling on the bottom of the pouch with a steel ball in the bottom between your fingers allows for a powerful, impactful release of up to 350-feet per second! — **Pulling on the bottom of the pouch with a steel ball in the bottom between your fingers, allows for a powerful, impactful release of up to 350-feet per second!**

The six inch package comes with a bag of 100-steel balls, 3 pull-pocket shot rubber units, instructions, and shot bracket, bag holder. Included also are two more replacement units of different power pull strengths.

AmericanPressTravelNews-August 15^th,-Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.—I have to admit when I received the new Pocket Shot; a “Made In America” new kind of slingshot, I was skeptical of how accurate and powerful it could be. That’s until I placed one of the included ¼ ounce steel balls in the pouch, pulled back on the rubber pouch, and whacked a soda can with it from 30-feet away. I didn’t pull back very hard, but I hit that can and really put a dent in it! Used correctly and easily you can send one of these little steel balls up to 350 feet per second-that’s hitting power in anyone’s book! I believe that this could be a great back-packers shooter, and no question with a bit of practice you can take out a variety of small game and birds. Check out their website at www.thepocketshot.com

Alaska’s Greatest Outdoor Legends “Colorful Characters Who Built The Fishing and Hunting Industries”

AmericanPressTravelNews-August 12^th,-Goose Holler’Farm, TN.-When my friend Doug Kelly sent me his new book; Alaska’s Greatest Outdoor Legends, I had already known that he had spent some time in my favorite fishing and wildlife state, but did not know he was working on this neat, informative book. After reading most of it, I realized he had a lot of help from all manner of agencies and guides who wanted to assist Kelly in putting together the facts and the real story of so many of the rightfully called legends of Alaska’s great outdoors! You won’t find this information on any of the fine outdoor channels, however, I am able to tell you that the book is worth the price and the “read.” Digging into the lives of real outdoorsmen and women of Alaska from the 1870’s to modern times would take a ton of research and Kelly did this for you/us! Go for it! It was published by the University of Alaska Press in Fairbanks.
