As Raventree78 said, the LT is smaller than the XT. Meaning that the fork width is a bit narrower. You can look up the specs to see just how much is the width difference. The width of the fork is a factor on aiming. If you establish an aim and anchor point with the XT, then pick up the LT and shoot it the exact same way, All your shots will be 3 or 4 inches high. Likewise, if you did the LT first and shot the XT exactly the same, your shots would be low. So you either have to adjust your anchor point between them, or learn to aim to compensate. If you only own one frame, then all this is a mute point, and just have fun!
That said, I like the aim look of the LT fork better than the XT. The edges of the XT fork are a bit rounded and makes the sight picture not quite as exact. In the end, I have both and enjoy them for what they are.
I agree with you i bought both XT and LT a long time ago and love them both.
Great video mate.
Daniel as I have said previously I own both the xt and the lt. And in my opinion I like the lt better because of the weight in the handle. Thank you for another great video. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless you and your family.
God bless you bro thank you!
I thought you would like to take a look at the Stryker double flat bands from Saunders Wrist Rocket. I think when you cut them to size they would work well with the Simpleshot Hammer for heavy projectiles.
I agree with the above statement, another great video. I bought an axiom early on because I simply couldn't decide between the two flavors of scouts. Like you, I'm not a fan of the axiom. I've since shot homemade forks exclusively.
I agree with your statements about hand size in relation to grip and width of gap for TTF. Both are really designed for the pinch grip you demonstrated. The advantage to that grip is your wrist is more or less in a natural, straight position. The width of grip determines how much movement you will have on release, but before the ammo is in free flight. Basically, if you have big hands, go big. If you have average to small hands, go small. I've learned to overcome the disadvantages of my homemade designs, but that takes a lot practice. For someone who simply wants to buy a fork and be on target as fast as possible, it simply comes down to those two models and your hand size.
Perfectly stated!
Keep it up man
We need to see your review of the Scout X. I like the new color slate.
Im most definitely going to be getting that👍👍
i have both of those sir, really exciting when target shooting or target hunting 😁😁😁
Great video, I love ‘em both, like you said, just depends what mood I’m in 😁. Fantastic video my friend 👏👏👍
Thanks bro! Keep up the good work yourself
Great video as always. Informative and to the point.
What slingshot would you recommend to someone wanting to get into tournament shooting?
Gotta go with the Scout LT 🙂👍
@@411Outdoors thank you for your input.
You would recommend the Scout LT over Axiom Ocularis?
@@robertdiehlbob4917 way over it brother. I think the Axiom is so uncomfortable
@@411Outdoors thank you for making the time. There’s been a lot of hype over it and just wondered which was better, and I trust your input.
I like the XT for fork inner gap and outer gap because I started out shooting 100mm outer. As a big fan of pinch grip I do like the smoother edges of the LT better so I'm keep both of mine haha!
Well said bro👍👍🙂 me too!
Excellent video 👍
Thanks my friend
I like the LT Pro. On my list of future buys.
Beautiful frame for sure
Lt has always been my favorite production made slingshot.
It’s really hard to beat brother👍👍
The new Simpleshot Scout X was just released. Another must have!
Definitely!
Cool
I really appreciate your reviews of the Hammer & Scout models. One of the problems with the reviews is...saying it comes down to ...."how do you like to.....". the problem with that statement for a complete newbie is..."I don't know how I like....to hold, to shoot, draw strength, etc". Another is that I don't want to make a mistake on my first purchase...hahah, cuz I'm a tightwad like that.
Very true. I’ll definitely remember the newbie 👍
Great point mate.
I like your channel.. My only complaint on the Scouts is the fidgety clip attachment. Its seems great in theory but their not as user friendly as say an Ocularis set up, or the good old wrap and tuck, in my experience. That being said, the LT gets my pick for best first flip all day long. Cheers!
Thanks brother! Great input as well 🙂👍
What is the lanyard for on a slingshot? I saw a simple shot video where they said of course you’re going to put it on…..why? I shoot rifle, pistol, and recurve bow, but just got my first "adult" slingshot which is the XT
The lanyard is just in case somehow or another. Slingshot jumps out of your hand when you shoot.
For my first Simpleshot frame I went with the Torque. Not regretting it yet but I almost did! The Flip Clips are bloody finicky!
Haha! I can definitely understand that 😂
what was that weapon thing in his hand in the intro that was after the sling shot timestamp: 0:09
Shepherd sling 👍
I have them same johnny sunglasses buddy.
Nice!😎
which one is better for hunting?
I would say they’re both equally as good. The one you can shoot the best with is the one you should hunt with and that’s gonna come down to how comfortable they are in your hand.
Bought a scout x. Bigger than I thought but to be honest my Enzo wasp is a lot better
The Enzo is really nice. Shipping is so high for me to get one. I paid 50$ to get a 10$ wasp XO haha
@@411Outdoors same here I'm in the UK paid 17 pound delivery
Well, Simpleshot introduced the Scout X today. Big improvement on the old XT. Now you have to do it all over.
Haha! Nah I’ll prob just review that one as a part two to this haha
I own both. Such a better shot with the XT. Idk why but I can't the broad side of a barn with the LT. Own other slingshots with the same fork gap as the LT an I'm deadly with them.
I have actually had more accuracy with my XT as well. I’m getting better with the LT. I think the size and weight of the XT is underrated.
My girlfriend shoots my LT and loves it. Very accurate with it. Ive tried weighted, unweighted just can't seem to dial it in.
Look, every bodies hands are different, what works for one ,might not work for another. Your not the judge for everbody
Come on man. for real? It’s not that serious.
I usually don’t respond to haters but since I never get any hate on my channel, I must ask, what’s the deal? Are you having a bad day? If so, I understand
I love your vids keep it up
Boring not entertaining 😢
I don’t ever assume I’m going to be everybody’s cup of tea. Maybe you’re just having a bad day
I keep my Scout xt set up for half inch ball just because its beefier,the Scout Lt i shoot 3/8" ball...this just seems right. Both are fantastic slingers in anybody's book!!!
Yes indeed!
Variety is the spice of life when it comes to slingers...i enjoy them all....if you intend on competing then 3-4 months before the event just shoot with ONLY the one you will compete with.
Great advice
