Hunting Slingshots Were a Big Seller This Past Holiday Season

Share this news:

With all the new technological gadgets on the market, consumers would think that remote control cars and drones would be the only items that children would want to have on Christmas Day. Statistics show that slingshots were also a popular gift for Christmas as well.


A big reason for the increase in sales had to do with the huge discounts placed on hunting slingshots. While the average high-quality slingshot is normally priced at $40 to $60, many stores placed discounts as high as 65% off on them. This allowed consumers to scoop up these slingshots for under $20, which is truly a bargain in this industry.


And out of all the websites which sold slingshots, people seemed to shop on Amazon.com the most for their hunting slingshots. The highest rated slingshot that was sold over the holidays was the Scout Hunting Slingshot. Aside from its versatile functionality and unique design, it is a hunting slingshot that was made in America.


Since this is the time when people want to see more items made in America, it is not surprising that this slingshot was found under people’s Christmas trees this holiday season. Another highly popular slingshot that was purchased over the holidays was the BONLEX Slingshot. This is considered to be a professional slingshot that is durable and can conveniently be placed in every person’s pocket for storage during the travel.


Adventure enthusiasts sure love to have this slingshot in their possession when they’re traveling in remote areas where predators are lurking. Hunting slingshots seemed to get the most sales out of all the other slingshot types. Although it is illegal in some cities and towns to hunt animals with slingshots, other jurisdictions allow people to use slingshots for hunting. There are at least 32 states in America which have legalized hunting with slingshots to at least some capacity.


The exceptions mainly have to do with the type of animals that people are hunting with their slingshots. The legislation in most of these states will allow hunting for “small game and other nuisance species.” Sometimes there’s even a list of specific species on the law books that people can hunt. People are encouraged to check with the laws of their state and local government to make sure they are complying with them.
