Slingshot Shooting Gallery
The F+B Slingshot Shooting Gallery features 9 lanes and 4 fun themes- Rock-n-Roll; Enchanted Forest; Carnival; and Sports & Games. Players enjoy free-form play or follow a F+B Game Card to help organize play. Lanes are equipped with targets that spin, bounce, ring, and fall at different heights, distances, and levels of
difficulty, using mechanical, reactive, and passive mechanisms. The Gallery will delight the senses and let you fulfill that fantasy of having unlimited play at the carnival midway. While the Gallery can be as challenging as you
want to make it, it is also accessible for people of most ages and abilities (we suggest 5+ years). So, bring the whole family, team from work, or your friend group to unplug, connect, and have a lot of fun while testing your focus and
coordination! The F+B Slingshot Shooting Gallery is also great for
private parties and
team building events.
Slingshot League Play
While the F+B Slingshot Shooting Gallery is excellent for casual play, guests ready to challenge
themselves further will soon be able to find Slingshot League Play at F+B. Complete the F+B Slingshot League Play Interest Form now to receive emailed details about the organization and schedule as details develop. Starting out, we expect separate Leagues for adult teams and adult/child (8+) teams. We hope to begin League Play
sometime in January.
The SlingShop
The F+B SlingShop is the
nation's only retail storefront dedicated to slingshot play and sport! Let our knowledgeable staff help you find the equipment that's right for you or find that perfect gift for someone special. We have plenty of options for the beginner or you might treat yourself to a handcrafted slingshot frame, like our own Model FB-1, or a production pro-quality frame from one of our international and domestic
suppliers. We carry quality products and the finest
accessories to help you up
your game and do it in style.
While we love to have you here with us on the lanes, we equally value time in the outdoors and hope to set you up for slingshot independence with the right gear and know-how for safe and rewarding play in the back yard or on the trail. We're here to get you started!
