Steel ball bearings in three sizes
The collection offers 500 g packs of steel ball bearings for slingshots in 5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm sizes. These are separate products, so confirm the diameter on the page and select the size appropriate to your frame, band and intended target setup. A 500 g pack describes weight, not a fixed number of balls. Product photos can help identify the packaging, while the listing gives the dimensions and other details available for that item.
The three steel-ball products are not size variations on one listing; they are separate 500 g entries. That makes it especially important to check whether the basket contains the 5, 6 or 8 mm product you intended. A larger diameter changes more than the count within a fixed weight, and the best diameter depends on your frame, pouch and band arrangement. Compare the band and pouch information of your frame, then read the chosen ammunition page. Do not select a size based on a product thumbnail alone.
Check 8 mm steel slingshot balls against frame guidance.
Clay shot as another option
The ammunition collection also includes a clay-ball product. Its material differs from the steel packs, so compare the description before choosing it for your setup. Weight, consistency and the way a projectile behaves can differ by material and size. We do not treat clay and steel as interchangeable simply because both appear under slingshot ammo. Check what is specified for the selected slingshot and use a suitable target and backstop for your practice area.
The clay product offers 100 g, 500 g and 1,000 g weight choices. Select the pack weight on the product page before comparing its NZD price with the steel listings. Clay and steel offer different material choices for compatible setups. A clay ball can break or change shape on impact, and the target setup should be chosen for that material. The Dynamic Steel target even has separate options labelled for steel balls and clay balls, a useful reminder to read the exact target variation as well.

Specialist fishing darts
A steel fishing-dart listing sits in the ammunition collection. It relates to specialist fishing slingshots rather than ordinary ball-bearing target practice. Do not assume that a standard pouch or frame accepts a dart. Review the dedicated fishing slingshot and dart descriptions for the fittings and configuration actually stated, and compare compatibility before adding both items to your basket. This distinction keeps the ball-bearing selection clear for customers looking for conventional slingshot ammo.
The dart product has quantity options of 5, 10, 20 and 50. It appears alongside the ball-bearing packs, yet its shape and intended fishing use make it a distinct purchase. Two fishing-labelled slingshots are listed elsewhere in the catalogue; their pages need to be considered alongside the dart's page. For a fishing setup, check the What’s in the box panel for line, reel and attachments, then match each part to the chosen frame. Select the dart quantity deliberately and check the package description.

Match ammo to frame and target
The right projectile choice depends on the selected frame, pouch and band arrangement as well as the target. Start with the manufacturer's information in the product listing. The store has box-style and metal targets, each with its own construction and size, so read those details before pairing one with steel shot. Use a clear area with a suitable backstop and eye protection. Keep all projectiles secured away from children when the equipment is stored.
A target box may be useful for practice with a stated projectile, while steel targets have different rebound characteristics and need careful placement. The Bullseye box is described as a thickened fibre design, whereas the Panda and Dynamic Steel products are metal. Check the chosen target’s design and use a suitable backstop for your ammunition. Match the target option to the ball material where a variation is offered, secure it before use and allow for any missed shot. Eye protection and a clear shooting lane remain part of planning the practice area.
Match slingshot targets to the projectile's stated use.
Check the pack before checkout
A slingshot frame may be sold alone or as part of a kit, and product packages vary. Check whether ammunition is explicitly included with the chosen frame; otherwise, add the separate ball-bearing or clay product you need. Select any available variation and review the stated weight, size and price for that exact item. The catalogue is displayed in New Zealand dollars, allowing you to compare the different ammunition options alongside bands and practice targets.
Where a frame's description says ammunition is included, check whether that applies to every variation. The precision slingshot with a red laser, for example, has an option that explicitly adds 100 balls; a different option does not carry that wording. The 500 g steel packs and clay weights are separate accessory products. Keeping these choices distinct helps you compare the basket accurately: frame and its selected pack, ammunition size or weight, and target. Each is priced in NZD on the New Zealand storefront.
Check slingshots for their specified projectile before choosing ammunition.
