I've used most slingshots out there, and I find this one to be the most stable and accurate. The pointer at the end is kind of a gimmick--it probably aids stability a bit, I don't use it to aim, but it looks super cool. The arm brace is fantastic, and the molding on the grip fits the hand far better than any slingshot I have ever used. The arm brace comes off for easier storage. Put a 3/8" steel shot in this bad boy and let 'er rip. There is no way you'll be disappointed.

I have about four hundred rounds downrange and I am impressed. One quarter inch steel shot has more range than I have accuracy but the three eights inch shot really hits with deadly force. Make no mistake, this is no toy to place in the hands of an irresponsible young child. Safety training should be mandatory and intensive. The little sight stick proved to be of little value with first use but the more I shoot the more I find myself using the sight to help create a target box for quicker target acquisition. Practice, practice and know what's behind your target before firing in congested areas. Have fun, Lynn....

I was looking for something powerful just to use for fun, but what i found was that with a little practice, the 3/8" steel shots are deadly at about ten yards and aim is flawless (once you get the hang of it) i dont use the sight, however, i just kind of eye it, but that's all you need. I reccomend it highly, whether for fun or pest control (which is one in the same for me) keep in mind, though, it isn't a toy.

If you don't have much experience with slingshots, you might not want this one. The band can pull back just far enough for that perfect shot. If you don't have a feel for it, YOU WILL PULL IT BACK TO FAR and it will snap. Get to know it, always start with weak shots and work your way up until you get to that sweet spot. Accurate, compact, great product.

The slingshots are very cool looking; however, within the first couple of days the orange rubber ripped and that was the end of the slingshot. I will say that the vendor was very easy to work with and the return was hassle-free.

It is a very sturdy and powerful slingshot. Also very accurate. I was loving it until a couple days after I got it the pouch broke. The replacement bands are like 10 bucks so consider buying a replacement band if you buy this.

This little thing is a TON of fun. I keep it in the tent trailer when we go camping. The kids love to set up targets and take some shots. I like to keep it by my side at night around the campfire. When a racoon comes around looking to get into my garbage, I just plug a few of these into them and they don't come around any more.
I also bought a spare band just in case, on recomendation of other reviewers and some 1/4" shot.

The leather pouch on he band broke on the 2nd shot ,,,,,,,not worth the pain. Hardware is good but the band is weak

It's a slingshot...lol...I am no "professional slingshot shooter" or whatever you call it, but it's fun to shoot...it has this cool little "aim" thing on the front that for the life of me I havent been able to work out, but other than that, it's fun....it's inexpensive...buy it...play with it....

This is my first sling shot. As usual it came very quickly. It is a great product, a lot of fun to use. It came with about 10 practice shots( pellets). I found it very easy to hit my target or at least come close most of the time. I got better when my son showed me how to hold it properly.

It is wicked cool looking and easy to use. Since I am just shooting for fun at tree stumps, etc I decided to use whole almonds as my ammo. They don't fly as straight as real ammo but I can still hit things throughout my backyard. The ammo is biodegradable and can't damage my lawn mower.
