Daisy B52 Slingshot , Black/Yellow, Shoots 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" Steel or Glass Shot

Best slingshot ever, stronger than my friend's and the band didn't tear. Really strong and durable

I had one of these as a kid and got sugically good with it in a very short time. Once you get the feel for it, you almost can't miss within 10-15 yards. I used to use iron ore pellets as ammo, so the band life was relatively short because iron ore is abrasive. I'd definitely recommend shooting NOTHING but smooth slingshot ammo or ball bearings with it to extend the life of the band. I like the 3/8" steel ones. I bought one for my camping backpack and ordered a replacement band with it for dirt cheap. If there is a flaw, I'd say it's the lifespan of the band because it will fail eventually. They usually snap right where they attach to the slingshot in my experience. I'm sure there are better ones out there at a higher price and quality, but for the price of these Daisies, they're great IMO. I'm glad they're still making them.

I'm not Denice the menace but this is a great quality slingshot for your buck. The wrist lock is great for support. Fun to play around with in the woods. Do the Daisy!

Growing up we had to find the perfect tree branch to make a Slingshot and then we had to beg for some premium rubber scraps from the tire repair store. The leather Tongue often cut off of some old belt or shoe tongue. Carving the wood and strapping the rubber was a right of passage, your slingshot represented how much you had learned from you older brothers and that you could now go out and slay some birds. Fast forward to today and $10 pretty much gets you the some thing including better and the rubber that is easier to pull back and also faster but not all that durable. As for killing birds in a really difficult way, that is not something that we do anymore, oh yeah you can still do it the easy way with a shotgun during the bird season. This review brings back memories, why was it that every kid I knew had a slingshot and we all shot after birds yet the bird population thrived? Maybe its because it was not so much about shooting the birds as it was for having a reason to hang out with your friends for eight hours on a Saturday and shooting your catapult several dozen times waiting for that one perfect shot to happened. Anyway as a semi old timer who made and shot a lot of slingshots the Daisy is a pretty darn good slingshot. I would have emptied my piggy bank to own something like this back then. About the only thing I do not like with this and most modern slingshots is that the rubbers break way to easily, so make sure to buy spares. Also we shot mostly pebbles or any proper sized stone we could find. We knew ball bearings would shoot better but they also ricochet off of any solid surface! I have a scar on my head to prove it. Make sure you get some eye protection and that your kid wears it at all times. Make sure he follows all the safety precautions of where he is allowed to fire it and what he must look for before firing it. Catapults are still a lot of fun and can bring kids together in ways that electronic devices cannot do.

I love this slingshot. It's actually pretty accurate. I ordered another just in case the tubing wears out. Once I figured out how to set the wrist support brace (duh), it worked well.

The forearm brace makes the item easier to use and more accurate.

It was cheap. That was good. But the part that holds what you are shooting is not in the center. I bought this to shoot sweetgum balls back into the fenced-in yard of the neighbor whose tree sends these nuisances into my yard. It works ok, but I have to be pretty close to their fence to get them in the yard. Perhaps it the nature of the balls that impedes the distance, but I'm a bit disappointed in the range. It was cheap enough to keep and not return, but it's not impressive. At least not for my use.

Well made. Easy to replace/upgrade parts. Could easily be used on small vermin, or just target shooting.

Veio em perfeito estado e é confortável.

Produto muito bem feito e de um material de alta qualidade. Tem uma precisão e conforto muito grandes no uso.
