  • Patent number: 9200862
    Abstract: A wristband slingshot that can be used to launch projectiles. The invention preferably has two holes on either end designed to fit a user's fingers.

The center section with increased area, or pouch, preferably contains grooves and a hole in the center in order to grip and center a projectile. While the main function of the current invention is to act as a projectile launcher, it is designed to have multiple functions. The device preferably comprises a clasping mechanism that is integrated into finger holes already contained in the device.
