The Story of the Axiom Slingshot

These 2 Axioms were given away to @snafu504 and @Jackson-uk6zt . Congrats to them!

The Axiom slingshot holds a special place in our hearts, born out of a passion for both form and function. Its roots go back to the Omega design, one of the earliest models in the maker’s journey, blending thoughtful craftsmanship with a desire to create something that fits the hand perfectly and looks beautiful. Introduced in 2010-2011, the Axiom was a significant step forward, embracing smaller, sleeker dimensions while still preserving the deeply contoured grips and refined details that made it stand out. Every iteration since has been a nod to simplicity and precision, with a focus on creating a slingshot that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is in performance.

Throughout the years, the Axiom has evolved, from the original paracord-wrapped design to more streamlined versions like the Axiom FlipKung and Axiom Ocularis. The design has been modernized without losing its essence, drawing inspiration from the golden ratio to ensure balance in both form and function. The slingshot has seen various customizations, from wider forks to narrower, more compact models that fit today’s shooting preferences. Yet, at its core, the Axiom remains a timeless design, one that embodies the joy of craftsmanship and the art of creating something that resonates deeply with its maker.

The name "Axiom" was chosen by the slingshot community, reflecting the universal truth that great design transcends trends. It’s a name that fits perfectly, as the Axiom quickly proved itself to be a self-evident classic, beloved by its creator and admired by slingshot enthusiasts worldwide. Whether made by hand from cherished wood like Osage Orange, passed down from fellow craftsmen, or produced with more modern materials, each Axiom tells a story of creativity, tradition, and the simple joy of shooting.

In the end, the Axiom is more than just a slingshot—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when skill, passion, and history come together. Whether you make one from a simple tree fork or get your hands on a custom-crafted piece, the Axiom invites you to experience the satisfaction of something handmade, something beautiful, and something that brings joy. With SimpleShot, you’re not just getting a slingshot; you’re becoming part of a tradition that celebrates both the craft and the community behind this timeless tool.

Beautiful craftsmanship. It's staying with the natural materials and giving it modern twist that I admire. I'm a slingshot craftsman myself.

Beautiful craftsmanship! About 15-16 years ago I used to shoot a slingshot regularly with some friends and we always had a lot of fun with it. But at some point it fell asleep due to my job and family. A few days ago I saw that JJ @FueltheFires showed and recommended the new Axiom on @SurvivalDispatch's channel. I've always done very well with his recommendations and would really like to reactivate the old love for slingshots with an Axiom. Greetings from Germany

Pretty cool that slingshots have taken off noticeably even in the past 2 years since I’ve gotten into them!

Really enjoyed the history of the Axiom slingshot Nathan. The slingshots are absolutely beautiful!

[chriskunis]

This brand is some of the coolest slingshots available and they keep adding new options which shows they are dynamic and dedicated. Thank you.

[ATOMark]

Great work Nathan. I hope these beauties wind up in good hands.

[coltonware]

That aluminum core is one of the most beautiful slingshots I’ve seen man.. you are truly an artist!!!

[Viperjjr]

These slingshots look like works of art. Amazing. 👏👏👏

[threestarsandasling]

Nathan, I'd like to trade a kidney for that Osage frame 😂 It's divine! The old Flippin Out logo is a beautiful touch. Incredible story behind the Axiom, man, and what a blessing you are to the slingshot community and it was a pleasure to have shook your hand at ECST. LEGEND!

I absolutely love Simple Shot! They are the reason why I am enjoying shooting with my husband. The wrist rocket he used to shoot I wasn’t able to control and manage to shoot. I am able to actually have fun with and challenge him now! We have a great time! Also, this next year will be my husband’s fiftieth birthday and I can’t think of a more memorable awesome gift than this for him! He’s a “rough around the edges” kind of guy but I do confirm that if he won this that there will be some shedding of some tears.

[marktownsend]

I'm so so glad you are making 90 mil frames in the axiom format now.

[dizzydbonez]

Love how slingshots are coming back. Zack Fowler got me hooked .

[ImHereForYourArtStream]

This is one of my favorite slingshots and my first slingshot I ever bought. Highly recommended for beginners. You are an amazing artist, absolutely beautiful.

[chris.p.]

Craftsmanship at its finest. Incredible works of art that play in the highest class. Plus the whole philosophy and the stories behind the materials and working methods... Highly impressive! Many thanks for the insights!

[mitchlbs]

I absolutely cannot wait! Changing bands quickly with a sleek layout is exactly what I have been wanting!

[JanSonnemann]

Adam, you are just shining from inside out! Great to feel your enthusiasm even through the digital transformation.

[auraonlinefitness]

Your enthusiasm for your craft is apparent and respected! I can hear and see the love you put into what you do. I have that as a creative.


Thank you for sharing. I just got my first in years. I'm looking forward to exploring this new journey.

I watched some of the videos on your other channel. Flippinout Slingshots. There's one video of a tournament in Blue Skeens village. Some of the ECST 13 Years ago. One of a conference about the future of slingshot shooting with Blue Skeen and Garry Flatband. Those videos are only 12 - 13 years old yet they look like they are from another time altogether.

I'm new to the slingshot scene, but have been floored by seeing the passion this community!
