Slingshots

Slingshot Montie Design has a passion for design and a mandate for community involvement. The slingshots we designed for Montie Gear were the product of a partnership between our student design contest winner and our President. The Gloveshot slingshot was a student design contest winner. Nick and Montie worked together during his internship to develop the Y-Shot and then the Gloveshot. Nick went continued to work as a part time employee until graduation.
