When introduced in 2005, the Slingshot was the first pack made that allowed you to carry a bow on the pack, and get it off without removing the pack.  Since then, we've made more.  But the Slingshot remains unique; it is our smallest pack, but has many of the capabilities of a full-scale pack.  As used on the Slingshot, our patent-pending Ripcord Bow Tether™ completes the Quickdraw System that we pioneered with our Backscabbard™ rifle packs, and as you'll see below, also works great to carry rifles.

The newest model of the Slingshot, the G287, continues the evolution of what many of our customers tell us is their favorite pack.   The horseshoe shaped upper bag provides a saddle for a bow or a rifle to ride in, and makes the pack carry them with exceptional stability.    The upper features two pockets with a tough mesh ventilation panel between them, and incorporates a spacer pad to keep the bow or rifle away from your head.

Patent Pending.

We think that getting your bow or your rifle off of your pack is an obvious need for a hunter, but for some reason, it didn’t exist until we made the effort to develop it.  We began by introducing our Backscabbard rifle packs, which customers around the world have come to love.  Now, we offer the same kind of solution for bow hunters.  You can safely stow your bow, and keep your hands free for climbing, crawling, clearing branches, and all of the other stuff you do when you’re out there. You’ll concentrate better, you’ll be more effective, and you’ll have quickly have access to your bow when you need it.   

But we didn’t stop there.  While wearing a Slingshot, you can sit down.  Which means that you can ride a horse or an ATV while carrying a bow.  Or, you can just sit.  Add the plush comfort that the pack offers, and the unparalleled features, and you’ve got an unbeatable bow hunter’s pack.

The Slingshot is also an excellent gun pack.  You can put the butt of a gun into the offset pocket and wrap the Ripcord around the forestock (it works well if you go around below a swivel stud), pull it tight, and off you go.  To get your rifle off of your back, just grab the barrel with one hand and the Ripcord buckle with the other, and pop it off.

This is such a nice, simple system, that it will make you wonder why nobody's ever done it before.

Some serious comfort's been built into this pack.  We've cut no corners, and have used a full-sized freight pack's waist belt so that it'll ride well.  Deep cut padding provides extra ventilation.
