Victor 10 / 20

Victor Animal Trap Company produced two slingshots with the intention to sell them to trappers who have the need to kill a trapped animal with a shot from short distance. This is usually done with a smallbore firearm, but a slingshot is less expensive and can be used in inhabited areas without disturbing the residents.

Both slingshots are molded plastic and have a contoured grip. They accommodate flatbands with the "Matchstick method", using two dogbone-shaped plastic wedges. The original bands were made of white gum rubber. The Victor 10 is so small that its handle seems to be tailored to a child's hand. Model No.20 has the same shape, but is bigger and has a small ammunition reservoir with sliding door at the base of the yoke. Both slingshots are well prized collector's items, and are generally seen as well designed and comfortable to hold.
