Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING.
TORX KEY SUPPLIED. The first ever scaled (handled) production model Goblet EVO! These offer a larger grip surface are than that of the regular EVO Field Pro V2, and they really do hold nicely! The write up below is the same as the HGH, as they’re made exactly the same, just a different design. The slingshots are beautiful to look at, awesome to hold, and a dream to shoot.
These slingshots are laser cut from 10mm stainless steel plate, clips cut, core threaded, bolts and clips attached, hand polished, then the clip bolts are removed and replaced with new ones so there are no polish marks on the new bolts, then they are assembled with the carbon fibre pieces. The inner of the tips have been polished smooth and round, to avoid any possible band damage during use. The outer edges of the tips have been left square and crisp, to give a very precise reference point for aiming. Features to this slingshot, other than the carbon fibre scales, are the 6mm lanyard hole, fully recessed clip bolts, and polished outer edges and corners for a more comfortable hold (apart from the top corner reference points). As with everything hand done, please accept that nothing is millimetre perfect, there may be small deviations here and there, but overall I am very pleased, and proud to offer these up for sale.
The surfaces have not been spot polished, or over polished to remove very small marks. I believe this makes for a much better slingshot with an even thickness, however there may be tiny surface blemishes on some, so please know that these aren’t all completely 100% flawless, nothing is. That being said, I don’t think anybody will be disappointed, I won’t send anything out that I wouldn’t be happy to receive or own.
Before use, completely remove the clips, taking care not to lose the springs behind the bolts. Make a note of which clip goes on what side. Clean and de-grease both sides of the clip area thoroughly, and check for any rough edges on either side of the clip. If you feel any, you may need to take these off with a small piece of sandpaper (supplied) Re-assemble the slingshot. Avoid overtightening on the bands, there is no need to crank the bolts up as hard as you can, firmly pinched up so the band compresses nicely is generally enough. Obviously keep a check on the bands to make sure they aren’t moving, and always do the first few draws away from the face. I still do this every time.
This is my own design, and has seen several different incarnations and upgrades over the years, bringing us to this point…the very first scaled handle model. As mentioned at the beginning, these are 10mm stainless steel, with 5mm thick carbon fibre scales, giving the handle a 20mm thickness. It features the same clip design as the EVO Field Pro, sloped and rounded, as well as the locating lug at the base of the clip. This serves two purposes; it helps to locate the clip securely, and stop it from moving, it also means you have a stop point when inserting the band. This means the band is exactly the same length each time, as well as the band not being able to get chewed up by the clip bolt if you happen to put it in a bit too far.
The tips are 25mm, and the overall length being 135mm.
The EVO is my number one go to design. Whether that be for hunting, a bit of fun can bashing, or attempting extreme accuracy shots…I use this design for everything.
I think that covers it, and I really hope you enjoy your new slingshot for years to come. As always, please wear eye protection, and only shoot where it is safe and legal to do so.

Jordan Henry –
Absolutely love this. By far the easiest clipped setup to use out there. The spring loaded clamps make it much easier to attach your bands. The slanted fork tips are amazing, especially with me having pain in my wrists. I loved my EVO, but having the carbon scales gives a fair bit of extra width and in my opinion is much more comfortable to hold.
