5.0 out of 5 stars NO Tapered Band and BETTER for it., November 11, 2005

I had one of these years ago. Was slightly different with a rigid wrist brace but basically the same. I recently purchased one of the new 'tapered band' models. It was a joke. Supposedly less pulling force required and 30% more velocity. Seemed about 50% less velocity but the pulling force claim seemed reasonable. Anyway, unhappy with the performance I took it back and unfortunately exchanged it for another 'tapered band' model assuming my first was a defect. Well it was a defect, but in design process rather than in the manufacturing of the product. Second one was no stronger and the band actually snapped. Anyway, purchased this model and it performs great. Just like the one I shot thousands of marbles through as a kid. Much stronger than the tapered bands and also a few bucks cheaper. Sometimes improvements are only improvements to the company's operating income and not to product performance or the company's reputation. Stick with this one over any of the 'tapered band' 'laser hawk' models.

This review is from: Marksman 3040 Pack-A-Long Slingshot slingshot (Misc.)

I bought this for my daughter with a bag of marbles just for fun and let me tell you, it is FUN! Everyone has enjoyed finding their inner Huckleberry Fin and shoot cans off the back fence. It's really easy to use. The rubber part that presses down on your forearm gives you just enough leverage to pull of a shot that can go some distance. We're not a family who owns guns or goes hunting but we do like to do off the wall things sometimes and this fit the bill. It is really well made and easy to use.
