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 new 2007 model of the Slingshot, the G287, continues the evolution of what many of our customers tell us is their favorite pack. The major change that we've made is to the upper bag. Its new horseshoe shape provides a saddle for a bow or a rifle to ride in, and makes the pack carry them with exceptional stability. The upper bag now has 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. Other than that, it's still the same great pack, with a number of improvements to smaller details. Available in Advantage MAX1 1700 cubic inches Wt. 5 lbs. | |||||
