Abstract: A slingshot having a pouch formed of a flexible, elongated strap which is pleated by permanent creases extending inward from each side along orthogonal and diagonally intersecting lines, whereby, by pulling end regions of the strap together, a closure is formed to hold pellets. This closure is operable, and the pellets releasable, in the normal course of shooting by release of the two sides of the strap. Pellets are stored in the handle of the slingshot and are metered by an exiting tubular passageway of a selected dimension and which has a restricted inner opening, whereby a discrete quantity of pellets are captured in the passageway when the handle is inverted and then righted.
