Band Installation
This band installation guide will go over setup of your slingshot and knowledge to make sure you safely and correctly use your new Ocularis™ slingshot.
- * *
Ocularis band attachment system remains one of the most flexible and simple band attachments out there for your slingshot.
This banding system is available on several SimpleShot slingshots and allows fine tuning of band placement. We call it "dial-a-fork" because you can place your bands in TTF, OTT and anywhere in-between!
This is a very simple band attachment, but don't get it wrong. When installed improperly, Ocularis plugs will not work (but that's true of most things, right: install it wrong and it won't work)!
Let's get started.

Never pull flatbands THROUGH the frame.

Check your bands before every use.
OTT (Over The Top)
Band orientation where you shoot the ammo over the top of the forks. (Ocularis™ holds the band to the TOP of the frame.)
TTF (Through The Forks)
Band orientation where you shoot the ammo through the forks. (Ocularis™ holds the band to the SIDE of the frame.)
The Lanyard
A simple piece of paracord that attaches to the handle of your Axiom frame and secures the slingshot to your frame-holding hand.
