Though, if this is your first slingshot, you'll have to pick up the recipe first. While the DIY recipe is cheaper and will come in handy for replacing your slingshot once it breaks, it requires five hardwood to craft each slingshot.

If this is your first slingshot, you'll need to purchase the DIY recipe and craft a slingshot. If you purchased a slingshot outright, select the slingshot like any other tool to equip it, and if you purchased the recipe, hit a workbench to craft yourself a slingshot.

Hardwood is different from wood and softwood but is acquired the same way. Whack a tree with a flimsy axe, and there's a chance it'll drop some hardwood, which is rarer than normal wood, as is softwood.

Animal Crossing' s Golden Slingshot
After you shoot down 300 balloons in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can obtain the Golden Slingshot recipe, which is exactly what it sounds like: a DIY recipe for a gold slingshot. After 300 balloons, look for a golden balloon, which will drop the recipe when popped. However, the Golden Slingshot will not last forever, though it will last much longer than the regular slingshot and requires two gold nuggets and a slingshot to craft.
