Ringshot – The slingshot that meets technology

Ringshot - The slingshot that meets technology

Here’s a slingshot that Denise the menace would be proud of. The design project is from the latest “Next Exit” exhibition that featured the industrial department at H.I.T.

The Ringshot, a modified slingshot, comfortably fits between your index finger and thumb. There is no handle to grasp onto like those found on the traditional slingshot. Once in place, pull the elastic back, place your favorite projectile and release.

I wonder if the Ringshot would offer greater accuracy or distance over the traditional slingshot?

    This looks like a lot of potential tendon damage due to the unusual lateral loading on the index finger.

    Hi Steve,

    Coming from a massage therapist, I have to take your word on this.
