The XD MULTI slingshot gift set contains a modern slingshot of smaller design. The slingshot stands out especially for its compactness and modern design. The XD MULTI model has a metal folding fork secured against loosening. Folding or tilting the arms is by means of a locking button in the handle. The sling handle is made of high quality material G10 in black or brown. Part of the handle has a dedicated magnetic compartment for 8 pellets. The XD MULTI component is a small knife cleverly built into the handle of the sling. When released by the locking button, the blade slides out and can be used immediately or is locked into the sling handle to create a knife with a handle. The blade has a sharp upper edge that can be scraped against flint to start a fire. The gift set is completed with the XS flint, which has a handle made of elegant ebony wood. The XS flint can be placed in a cloth sling case, giving you a comprehensive tool for the outdoors. The flint is made of premium ferrocerium, which produces a spark at temperatures up to 3000°C and creaks even when soaked in water. The slingshot itself was and is a favourite tool for children's fun.
Making one's own slingshot was a hobby not only for boys but also for girls. With a slingshot, you can go back to your childhood years, spend time outdoors and have a little fun.
The sling comes with and is already tied with a red double elastic with increased flexibility and a cloth cover with the possibility of hanging on a carabiner.

History:
Prak has a long history with extensive uses dating back to prehistoric times. It has always been a very inexpensive and effective weapon that can be created by one's own efforts. The slingshot works on the principle of centrifugal force generated by a flexible part. Slingshots since ancient times were more like ropes that had a pocket in the middle. The slingshots assembled in this way had a range of up to 300 metres with a speed of up to 200 km/h for experienced shooters. From the Middle Ages, slingshots began to be displaced by crossbows and bows, which excelled in range, accuracy and effect.
Basic safety guidelines for handling a slingshot:
- Safe place to shoot:
Use slingshot only in a safe place: Always shoot slingshot in a place where there is no risk of injury to people, animals or damage to property. Make sure you have enough clearance and that there is nothing nearby that could be inadvertently hit.
Choose a suitable target area: If you are shooting at targets, make sure they are stable and safe. You should always be clear where you are aiming and avoid shooting towards people or animals.
- Avoiding unintentional hits:
Never shoot at people or animals: Never use a slingshot to target living things. Hitting them can cause injury.
Use slingshots only on solid and safe targets: If you are shooting at objects designed for this purpose, make sure they are strong enough to withstand a hit without breaking or destroying them.
- Slinger handling precautions:
Hold the slinger correctly: When using the slinger, grip the handle firmly but with controlled force. Make sure you have good control of the slingshot and that you are not endangering yourself or others.
Don't leave the slingshot taut unnecessarily: Leaving the slingshot taut for long periods of time can cause loss of control or even damage to the rubber. Always tension it just before firing.
Do not use the slingshot near the face: Make sure that when using the slingshot you do not point the rubber towards the face or other parts of the body that could be hit.
- Appropriate slingshot projectiles:
Use the correct projectiles: Make sure you use projectiles that are designed for use with slingshots, such as steel balls or specialty projectiles. Do not use objects that may damage the slingshot or be dangerous when fired.
Avoid unusual materials: Do not use sharp or hard objects that may cause damage to the slingshot or pose a hazard when fired.
- Eye and face protection:
Wear eye protection: It is recommended to wear goggles or eye protection when shooting with a slingshot. Projectiles can fly in unpredictable directions and cause eye injuries.
Face protection: If possible, use a face shield or other face protection, especially if you are shooting at harder targets that can deflect projectiles.
- Handling and storage safety:
Store slingshot out of reach of children: Slingshot should always be stored in a safe place, out of reach of children. Although a fun toy, it can be dangerous if handled in an unskilled manner.
Check the condition of the slingshot: Before each use, check that the slingshot is in good condition. Check that the rubber is not damaged, that all parts are firmly connected and that the slingshot is not otherwise damaged (broken, cracked).
- Never conduct dangerous experiments:
Never combine slingshots with explosives or other dangerous substances: Never attempt to upgrade slingshots or combine projectiles with dangerous materials (e.g., explosives, flammables, or chemicals). This can be extremely dangerous.
- Appropriate slingshot use:
Shoot at targets that are designed for slingshot fire: Slingshots are intended for use on harmless targets such as targets, cans, or other similar objects. Do not use a slingshot for tasks that are not appropriate for it.
Think about the purpose of shooting: Use the slingshot for its intended activities, such as recreation or target practice, and avoid dangerous uses such as vandalism or aggressive behavior.
- Care in case of injury:
Immediate help if injured: If injured, give first aid immediately. If the injury is serious, seek medical attention.
The knife handle is intended for use by persons 18 years of age or older and is not intended for use by children.
