BEANFLIP OCULARIS™ SLINGSHOT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Step one: Install the Lanyard
Setting up the frame – Installing the lanyard
It is critical to always have the lanyard securely wrapped around the wrist when shooting.
STEP 1. Thread one end of the lanyard through the hole in the end of the Scout frame
STEP 2. Tie a simple overhand knot with BOTH tag ends of the lanyard.
STEP 3. Pull tightly to secure the knot (adjust the position of the knot to vary size of the lanyard.
STEP 4. Check the lanyard to make sure it is secure.
ALWAYS wear the lanyard securely when shooting! The lanyard should firmly but not tight. It should be secure enough to prevent the frame from ever slipping from your hand.

Flatband Installation
Plugs install on SHOOTER SIDE. Bands wrap AROUND the frame.
Looped Tube Installation
Plugs install on TARGET SIDE. Bands pull THROUGH the frame.
Seat the bearing
The bearing should be seated half way through the plug.
Do not shoot stones or rocks from any slingshot.
Rocks – no matter how round they look – shoot erratically and shooting them may damage your slingshot and bands.
Due to the uncontrollable nature of shooting non-spherical projectiles, shooting a rock from a SimpleShot slingshot voids any / all warranties.
Install your Bands On Your BeanFlip
First, decide whether you will be installing your bands OTT or TTF._Don't know which to use? Try both, starting with OTT._
We strongly recommend watching the video tutorial on banding. Banding must be done correctly or you will lose plugs or have band slippage. There are two full demonstrations in the video, so keep watching until you're sure you've got it.
Take your time and make SURE this is done correctly.
Examples of properly banded BeanFlip Ocularis™:
The BeanFlip was designed to be held with the larger fork on the bottom where the thumb supports . . .
However, there's no right or wrong. Just like skateboarding, there's regular and goofy, but neither is right or wrong.
Try them both and see which one you like better.
