this same slingshot is packaged through various companies here in the UK and if we look back at the older Barnett black widows… they, also, once used this exact same model! so yea it’s a good basic wrist rocket and i’m getting one off ebay to add to my collection…. they’re much more fun than shooting guns… and in a survival context…. you have an infinite supply of ammo… as if push comes to shove… you can shoot pebbles…. with a gun you have a finite supply of ammo that runs out with your last round!! so yea… a big thumbs up from me and a subscription as i like your style!
Thanx for posting, really enjoy your videos. I love using wire frame slingshots. I cut the bend off. Cut a vertical slot in each fork, put my 1632 or 2040 thru the slot, wrap the tag end once around the fork and back thru the slot. It never slips,is fast to change. It allows an old guy like me to pull it back.
These appear to be the ones sold in the UK as the Barnett Black Widow going back decades. I grew up shooting one of these in the 1980’s and it always worked really well. I’ll have to get one to compare with my current slingshots which are mostly from Wasp 🐝 I’ve never shot one with tubes since so will be interesting to try.
the wrist support is really nice, coming from an archery background I only let the top of the slingshot rest between my index and thumb, and it gets me really nice accuracy
Thanks for posting. I really enjoy your videos. I cut the bend off the wire frame slingshots, then cut a vertical slot in the fork with a hacksaw. Put my 1636 or 2040 thru the slot and wrap the tag end around once and back thru the slot. It never slips and an old guy like me can pull it.
Like everytime when something is cool to have vorbidden in Germany !Like Butterfly Knife ,Nunchucks,Tonfa,when you want too shoot a gun it is a loooong journey till you allowed to have a gun even the kk small kaliber You need a licence and be in a club Air rifels over redicoules 7,5Joule You need a f....ng Licence !🤮

That's a really cool upgrade. And thank you for the kind words. It really means a lot.

I prefer the fixed handle. What a great hobby! 😮

It takes a while for the tubes to "break in" We shot rocks, marbles and mothballs with 'em in the mid 70's. With flatbands on them they shoot great.
Yeah, they did seem to. I'm gonna get some lighter bands on it this weekend.
No firecrackers?
@danielsee1 oh hell yes, but I made a bottle rocket "gun" and that was copied by everyone and we would "go to war" 🤣
I also have a small pocket knife collection and I agree.
Excellent video 👍
Thank you very much!
Nicely presented!
Yea I Got a wrist rocket, loved it till I got a hold of some flat bands. But now I've got some smaller tubes from simpleshot.
Great video, i live in Serbistan, and it is only model we can get here!
and we drew that weight as kids.
You are old!!!?? You are young!!!!
Not too old for fun
