What Is Slingshot Ammo and What Is It Used For?

Slingshot ammo consists of small round projectiles, typically made of steel or clay, designed to be launched accurately using a slingshot. It’s not just an accessory—it’s what defines your shot’s strength, flight path, and range.

Using low-quality ammo can throw off your aim. Imperfect surfaces or inconsistent weight affect accuracy and stability. That’s why choosing high-quality ammo like PGN’s is key for reliable and controlled shooting.

Slingshot ammunition is widely used for target practice, outdoor activities, sport shooting, and even technical applications. In every case, having dependable ammo turns an average shot into a precise, high-performance result.

Types of Slingshot Ammo Available at PGN

At PGN, our slingshot ammo lineup includes two main material options: soft carbon steel and biodegradable clay. Each serves a different purpose, giving you performance and flexibility no matter your shooting style.

Steel Slingshot Balls

Steel balls are designed for those who prioritize power and impact. Made from soft carbon steel, they’re denser and heavier—great for tougher targets and skilled users who need both precision and strength.

Their smooth, polished finish ensures consistent flight, even at long distances. If maximum performance is your goal, steel is the way to go.

Biodegradable Clay Balls

Clay balls offer a sustainable and convenient solution for casual shooting and outdoor activities. Since they’re biodegradable, they break down naturally over time, making cleanup unnecessary and reducing environmental impact.

Though lighter, they still deliver great control and accuracy. They're a smart choice for beginners or anyone looking for a lower-impact option.

Available Sizes and How to Choose

The size of your slingshot ammo has a direct impact on shot performance. At PGN, we offer a variety of diameters to match different shooting styles, target types, and experience levels.

Available Sizes

• 1/4" (6.35 mm) – The lightest option, perfect for beginners or those who prefer fast, low-impact shots.
  

• 5/16" (7.93 mm) – A balanced choice that combines control and power for all-around use.
  

• 3/8" (9.52 mm) – A popular size offering a great mix of impact and accuracy.
  

• 1/2" (12.7 mm) – Designed for maximum force and high-impact shooting.
  
  

Each size is crafted with precision to ensure consistent weight and flight behavior, which directly affects your shooting accuracy.

How to Choose the Right Size

Your ideal choice depends on:

• Shooting distance: short-range shots work better with smaller ammo; long-range needs more weight.
  

• Target type: tougher targets call for more impact.
  

• Experience level: lighter ammo is easier for beginners to handle.
  

By matching your ammo size to your needs, you’ll enjoy a safer, more accurate, and more effective shooting experience.

Slingshot Ammo for Outdoor Use: What to Know

If you’re shooting outdoors, it’s essential to choose ammo that matches your environment. Clay balls are biodegradable and naturally break down after use—perfect for grassy fields, trails, or large open areas where cleanup isn’t practical.

Steel balls, on the other hand, require more caution. Use them in secure areas with backstops, and always collect them after use to avoid hazards.

• Choose clay for nature-friendly practice areas.

• Opt for steel in controlled environments with proper targets.

Selecting the right ammo for your setting helps minimize environmental impact and maximize safety.

Steel vs. Clay: Which Ammo Works Best in Your Environment?

Choosing between steel and clay depends on where and how you shoot. Steel ammo is best for users who need durability and high-impact power. It performs well in structured environments with proper targets and safety setups.

Clay ammo is lightweight and eco-friendly, making it ideal for open fields, recreational shooting, and natural spaces where cleanup is difficult.

• Steel: higher impact, more technical, best in controlled spaces

• Clay: safer, eco-friendly, great for outdoor environments

Both options deliver great performance—just match the material to your setting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slingshot Ammo

1. Which material lasts longer?

Steel slingshot balls are more durable. They’re resistant to impact and can be reused if retrieved and undamaged. Clay balls, on the other hand, are designed to break down naturally after use and are not meant to be reused.

2. Should I choose steel or clay

It depends on your use:

• Choose steel for powerful, high-impact shots and durability.

• Choose clay for a lighter, eco-friendly option—great for casual use and outdoor shooting.

3. How should I store slingshot ammo?

Store in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. We recommend keeping ammo in its original packaging or an airtight container—especially biodegradable clay balls, which are more sensitive to humidity.
