The Pocket Shot Slingshot - Circular Pocket Slingshot - Versatile and Powerful Hunting & Shooting Slingshots for Adults - Durable Tactical Sling Shots for Many Types of Ammo

Very simple and effective slingshot, and is akin to a bb gun at times. It fires slingshot ammo like a bb gun (but larger ammo) very easily; will easily go through cardboard unless using a material that isn’t dense like wood, and could probably penetrate skin of most animals but the accuracy isn’t there so I don’t recommend it for hunting or assault. Presumably good for vandalism but I don’t advise you use it for that. Steel balls work best but clay balls are much cheaper and less of a nuisance to the environment, while wood balls *probably* aren’t particularly dangerous and a bit cheaper than steel ones, but the slingshot can fire rocks well and other small items, especially spherical in shape.

Cannot believe how powerful this slingshot is. More powerful than pretty much any other slingshot I have, including the 6 band ones. It is more difficult to aim than a traditional slingshot and takes a little practice to get used to it, but worth the effort. I actually prefer firing it from around waist level. John Wayne lever action style... In addition to the power, is the simplicity of use. Just drop in a ball, pull back, and let go. Shots can be taken really quickly. While shooting this at a person would potentially cause serious injury or even death; as a self defense device, it could be employed much faster than a traditional slingshot. Based on the materials used (a couple plastic rings and a rubber tube) the device is expensive. However, they came up with the design and it is impressive. So, I guess they can charge whatever they want. Would I buy another one? Absolutely.

I like the compactness and ease of use and it will take time to perfect shooting...and I agree with "Joe" who noted with steel ammo you can crack the ring if not released correctly and I've seen that on the you tube videos too.. What I noticed right away the latex had fine cracks around the ring of the black pouch without ever trying it....don't know if I got a defective one or what.......but they don't seem that tough...and they state avoid water and getting it wet,,,.Was wondering if they ever thought of using silicone rubber instead of latex for durability and strength....The price seems a little high for just 2 pouches and they aren't indestructible, the collar or pouches for USA made, but it is a nice idea and design,, room for improvement though...... FOLLOW UP....The nice people at Pocket Shot want their customers to be happy and were kind enough to send me replacement pouches and a improved ring...The new pouches were free of any fine cracks and the new ring is more durable and better constructed as I was able to screw the collar on easily by hand without any drag like the org. one....and a few practice shots with steel ammo, no nicks or cracks so far.....

FIRST, don't bother with the cheap knockoff's. I thought I got ripped off because of the HUGE price difference between a USA made and the Temu knockoff.. I am so glad my first experience was with a real pocket shot. I got the real one and found it mostly accurate. It wont beat a real sling shot in accuracy, but in survival, it packs real small, easy to cary, and deadly if you practice using it. And the TSA will let you take it on a plane.. it will take down a rabbit at 20 ft... If you can hit it. It does take some practice. you have to shoot instinctive .. like the old west shooting from the hip. I thought I could get some on the cheep, forget it. When you pull a real one, there is A. LOT. OF. force needed, you want the projectile to be going fast when the rock breaks the rabbits skull for a humane dinner. The knockoff's use rubber that I could throw a rock faster bare handed, without a shepherds sling.. Learn how David killed Golith ... In survival mode, bow, sling and atlatl skills will feed the family.

Just got my Pocket Shot today along with 2 packages of 3/8 and 1 package of 1/4 steel slingshot ammo. The Pocket Shot provided all the power and eas of use that it advertised, and right away I was able to hit a 9inch by 9 inch box from 30 feet away pretty regularly. I then tried shooting at a beer can with limited success. It felt a bit like luck when I hit it, but was very satisfying. On the DOWNSIDE, both pouches developed holes in them within the first hour or so (see photo below). I was trying to pinch "above" the ball, as instructed in the Pocket Shot youtube videos, but the holes developed rapidly anyway. I have used probably 30 of the 3/8 and 100 of the 1/4 ammo, so the longevity of the pouches should be considered. Looks like you may have to buy many, many extra pouches if you want to shoot this regularly. I am going to give the Pocket Shot 3 stars because of this. If the pouches would have lasted, I would have given 5 stars easily, because the product does exactly as advertised. Knocking it down 2 stars may seem harsh, but nobody wants to have to keep ordering replacement parts every single day for something like this, and it could be especially devastating in a survival situation.

This was a gift and I was told the boy that received it loves it!

Loved it but needed hand surgery so I passed it down to my grandson who's had many slingshot tournaments with me. He is carrying the torch now.

It isn't stretchy enough for me.

This is an awesome tool/weapon and should be taken accordingly. I repeat, this is not a toy. Achieved around 350 feet per second with a 1/4 inch steel ball. Passed through two carboard boxes to finish inside a wooden door. Power was incredible and precision is good on soda can up to 20-25 feet. Can shoot further, up to 40 feet but on 12 inches cardboards... Worth every dollars.

Awesome

I love this product but a thing i got to add is that id it worth the price. Well it does come with a pro pouch aswell as a normal latex pouch but still. I payed 50$ for this product(1 day shipping) and i just got to say that yes it is fun yo use and have that 50$ or 40$ could have went to something beter. It is extreamly well made and you can tell someone put alot of the time in designing it. Thatvis why i rated it 4 stars.

My daughter loved it to while away the time vacationing in NFLand

Have not used it yet.
