Abstract

An improved sling shot rifle has an elongated rail, a stock operatively coupled to a first end of the elongated rail, the stock comprising a trigger and a catch releasably coupled to the trigger. A resiliently stretchable pouch comprising a closed first end, an open second end configured to be operatively coupled to the elongated rail, and an insert comprising an insert body having a first end, an opposite second end, a cylindrical cavity formed in the insert body second end and a first diameter wherein the back of the axial cavity is configured to receive a back end of an arrow. The insert further comprises a flange formed on the insert body first end wherein the flange comprises a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter. A ring is positioned around an outside surface of the resiliently stretchable pouch proximate the resiliently stretchable pouch first end so that the ring is received around the insert body adjacent the flange. A loop is operatively coupled to the ring at respective points that are opposite from each other on the ring, wherein the loop is configured to be releasably coupled to the catch.
