5.0 out of 5 stars NO Tapered Band and BETTER for it.
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars #fail
This slingshot is worth its weight in fruit flies. Shot it about twelve times and the tubing ripped off on one side. Wears about as relatively well as Chinese shoelaces. Doesn't shoot that far anyway. Oh well, at least the frame's solid.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars So cool, December 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

This review is from: Marksman 3040 Pack-A-Long Slingshot slingshot (Misc.)
Started using it as soon as I received it. Plastic handle cracked (3" verical) due to stress just after a few uses (in a span of 1/2 hour of playing). Perhaps a defective product but Amazon took it back. Thanks Amazon!!

This review is from: Marksman 3040 Pack-A-Long Slingshot slingshot (Misc.)
I was looking for a good quality slingshot to use at my son's Survivor party. Took a chance on this one and was not disappointed at all. Works well and great construction. Had many teens using them (I ordered 6) throughout the game and they held up wonderfully. Not a one of them broke.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit flabby, September 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marksman 3040 Pack-A-Long Slingshot slingshot (Misc.)
I don't know if the product was old or not but the rubber tubing didn't seem to have much zip. Based off my experience with Marksman products, they are usually very reliable. I would probably buy this purchase again but from a store where the merchandise moves a bit quicker.

i have the daisy b52 and this marksman.. the fork is a bit closer together than the daisy but it is much more comfortable to hold in my hand. oh and if ur getting this to make a "slingbow" use a medium sized whisker biscuit from trophy ridge. it fits perfect
