How To Install A Fiber Optic On A Scout LT Slingshot - No Drilling Needed!

Here's a how I mounted a fiber optic on my ‪@simpleshot‬ Scout LT for a more visible aiming reference in low light conditions without drilling a hole or using super glue. Enjoy!

[@DeepSouthSlings]

Pretty slick method, I always drill and insert, or I will drill a small hole and inlay it with turquoise to give a nice aiming POR

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks 😄👍 I'm trying to get a drill press for cheap to install FOs but I think I like the turquoise idea! I messed up a nice slingshot because I got impatient and tried to freehand drilling a hole resulting in a disastrous outcome. lol. Cheers Darrell!

[@Dan_the_Catty_Man]

Amazing idea bro.. hats off to you🫡

[@biketajun2537]

Thanks for your great idea bro,i will do it same to my ScoutLt,enjoy shooting

[@threestarsandasling]

Woohoo! enjoy bro!

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

Good idea buddy I'm gonna do that to both my Scouts.

[@threestarsandasling]

Glad you like it! I'd probably use a stiffer plate like thin sheet metal because the cutting board from the $ store isn't as hardy. lol. Lemme know how it goes brother! Cheers! 😁👍

[@ianpearce78]

Great work buddy.

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks Ian! Well, this video was made I think a month before SimpleShot surprised us with the Scout X, so it's pretty useless now. hahaha. Unless folks really love their LTs then I think it might still be relevant 😄 Have a good one brother!

[@k.o.skeeponshooting235]

Neat idea bro, genius!!! 👏👏

[@threestarsandasling]

LOL 😆 Thanks bro! I found out that you can also use a used milk jug (hdpe) hahaha. cheers!

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

will have to 3d print this. thanks for the idea.

[@threestarsandasling]

Aw, that'd be nicer i bet! Wish I knew how to work a 3d printer. Lemme know how it turns out. Cheers bro 🤓👍

[@mrrooter601]

did you ever try this? I got interested in slingshots through 3d printing, and ended up printing a frame that is pretty similar to the Scout lt.

[@dionisiojulaton4128]

Nice good job 👍👍

[@threestarsandasling]

Thank you kabayan! Appreciate the comment!

[@youtubetube469]

Good idea guys👍😍

[@threestarsandasling]

Thank you 🤗

[@zdrummero1]

Very cool. what diameter is the fiber optic you're using?

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks brother! The FO diameter is 0.9mm if Im not mistaken... Its the one that came with my Axiom X 😁

[@Scotland2306]

Wow everyone that I watch is in here. What’s up guys 🎯👍🏼

[@threestarsandasling]

Welcome to the party mate! Glad you could drop by. 😄👍

[@bigriceburner]

Great idea bro! I’m going to do this when I get my scout.

[@threestarsandasling]

Sorry for the super late reply. lol. Haven't been minding my notifications because of the tournament. Lemme know how it goes, and probably you've gotten the LT2 as well! That thing is sweet and It's a frame I'd love to get in the pro version! Cheers brother!

[@threestarsandasling]

You can also use very thin plexiglass / polycarbonate (which I didn't have) to replace the hdpe 'mounting plate' so it doesn't shred when the bands snag on the Fiber Optic ✌

[@nienja8330]

Have tried this ... Owesome..thanks to u bro

[@threestarsandasling]

Hahaha! You're welcome! Good times brother! 😄

[@Mountain_Man]

Great idea. You could also use a jewelers saw with a super fine blade and just cut in a notch on the very edge. Might be easier than drilling

[@threestarsandasling]

Ive always been meaning to buy one but never seem to remember to do so. Thanks for the suggestion brother, ill try it on some other frames. Cheers! 🤓👍

[@canvandal4503]

Awesome idea brother!👊🙏

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks a lot homie! I revised it and used a free milk jug from the recycle bin for the mount plate. That hdpe can take a beating! 😄👍 Thanks for dropping by Tater!

[@ZachSlingshots]

That's a great idea kapatid! magkaroon ka ng magandang araw

[@threestarsandasling]

Hope everything's all good in your hood kapatid! Salamat! ✌️😄

[@ChuckinSteel]

Nice job

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks man! Btw, enjoyed your live video the other week! Hope it becomes a regular thing. It's like having a get together with friends.

[@ChuckinSteel]

@Three Stars And A Sling I'm gonna try my best and thank you.

[@zwillenfink9729]

great job brother🙂👍

[@threestarsandasling]

Thank you my brother ✌️😌

[@sandeepkhantwal2736]

Nice idea 👌❤️

[@threestarsandasling]

Thank you! 🙌😊

[@randycassidy198]

Wow, good job dude!

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks man! I've also tried an old milk jug which works even better because its made out of HDPE and can withstand multiple slaps from the bands! Cheers!

[@mehmetkupeli8611]

Good job!

[@threestarsandasling]

Thanks brother 😎👊
