Great slingshot and well made.
Haven't used slingshots since I was back in my teens, a few years ago, haha. They've come a long way since then. This one is stainless steel. It comes in a nice case and came with extra bands. The sights work well. The bands are not heavy bands, good for practice. I do like the ball pouch. Where the ball sits, on each side where you grip it, there are indents that insure that amo is centered properly and the pouch is aligned correctly. There are some interesting facts about the slingshot. Being steel, it weighs more, which in one way is good. When you release the band to shoot, there is less movement of your wrist. Where you attach the band to the forks, the screws that hold the clip have springs so when you put the band on, you are not trying to hold it all together and it helps hold the band in place while tightening. Clips that tighten the band are designed to lock the band in place with ridges. It also has a toung and grove design so the clip only fits one way. See photo. This also helps to set the band properly without the band being cocked at an angle. What I did change and helps me; I made my own wooden handle grips to replace the plastic ones that it comes with. I made them like a pear or tear drop. This is so when holding to shoot, there is more mass to have in the palm of your hand and provide a stronger grip. Also, the side that faces me when holding is slightly thicker then the other side. This gives less movement from band release. If you look at the photos, the bottom is 2 inches thick and the upper is 1.5 inches. The hand wraps around providing a good secure grip. There is no need to have your thumb and forefinger on the lower fork flanges. You could use anything to wrap around the grip/handle to make it bigger. This made a great improvement.For the money, you can not go wrong. It's made and designed well.

It's a great little sling
Alright, overall I give this thing a 4 star bc of the weight and thick handle, but considering it's 12.99, I gave it the fifth star, bc you couldn't hardly buy the piece of stainless it's made from for that price, let alone the machine work necessary to make it this nice or comfortable in the hand. I don't use the sighting system and cannot speak to that, but it is a nail driver with a bit of practice. I felt it was a bit too thick with the scales, since I plan to keep it in my pocket, for impromptu plinking, so i did a paracord wrap that im quite happy with and was also quite easy to achieve. This thing is as accurate as can possibly be, and the bands that come with it work well for 9mm steel/clay shot (albeit at a lower velocity than id like, but they still punch holes in soda cans at 30ft for clay, and further with steel), though they would probably be better suited for 9mm lead, or 11-13mm steel. I have a 30" draw length, I trimmed them at 6.25" and cannot complain about the performance at all...I cannot sing it's praises enough, this is a great little sling, comes with a handy little carrying case. There is a lot that can be done with it, as far as customization and it's a real fun shooter. I strongly recommend it for a first time shooter or even someone more experienced, it's well made, cost effective, and accurate, you cant ask for a lot more...as a side note, if you shoot hammer fisted, the handle scales would probably just fine.

not perfect, but hard to complain when it's so inexpensive
This seems to be a fairly generic model that any company can just buy and sell, based on how many other listings with this slingshot I see on here. But it seems to be pretty solid overall, and this one is priced pretty low.If you plan to buy this, you might want to file down some of the sharper edges around the frame, because every shot slams the bands right into the frame. which is normal, but the sharp edges may harm the bands. Which is related to why I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.The screws that tighten down the band clamp have the threaded end pointing toward the user, and when you shoot the slingshot, the bands will hit those relatively sharp protrusions and get prematurely damaged. usually in the form of a hole near the pouch. I went through 2 out of 3 bands pretty quick because of this.I put some nuts on the ends of the screws to mitigate the sharpness, and I think that helped. But I'd definitely consider that a design flaw.

Best $10 you could spend on a sling shot
Very high quality . This is a great product , I can’t believe how inexpensive it was verses quality. If you are looking for a sling shot this is the best $10 you could spend .

Neat!
Beautiful little slingshot! I've gotten really good at shooting with this, and it's actually very accurate with some practice. It's small in overall size, but chunky in weight in the hand, doesn't slip out, easy to hold, comes with extra supplies and a case to hold it all. Anybody would like this thing, any kid, any teen, any adult. Any sized body. Grammy, Grampa, get one for your grandson or granddaughter, it will make a lasting memory. Teach them safety and use, and put up paper targets in your yard. Learn with dried beans, garbanzos are awesome. BB's next. Highly recommended. Highly.

Bad design, doesn't last.
This slingshot is stupidly designed. Buy something else. You have to be careful or your pellet will hit the device rather than fly. There is not enough clearance. Also, the bands are weak. You have to cut them down by half or more, and then they are still weak. Eventually the band assembly broke because the band weren't tied well to the pad - poor assembly. Futher, the pad is so small as to make placement into it difficult.

Nice competition slingshot
It's everything as described, it was fun putting together, not to take away from it in general. But I really don't understand how the fiber elements that come with it really help, you have to use a lighter to melt them in place. And a key point on that is to be very frugal with the elements, they don't give you much.

Quality seems good, zero bands came with it.
Slingshot is good I would’ve given more stars if they said no bands included but they said 3 I got zero, I was going to use my simpleshot bands anyways I would not trust cheaply made bands anyways, just a lower star for false advertisement
