The Pocket Shot

I enjoy using the pocket slingshot :)

Overall a pretty good purchase! I got mine a few days ago and I've already used it a lot.The pouch wearing is a real thing, although after going through about 200 mini marshmallows/airsoftBB's/daisy slingshot ammo it hasn't broken yet, it wears on the outside of the pouch from rubbing against your fingers when you pull back and let it go. If the pouch breaks, you can get a replacement pouch for it. For ammo I use the Daisy Powerline 1/4 in. premium steel slingshot ammo, perfect size and a ball can go 350 FPS if shot correctly. It seems hard to shoot at first but when you get used to it you can shoot accurately and with a lot of power!When it comes it has the pocket shot that already has a black 300 FPS pouch on it, but includes a blue pro pouch that shoots up to 350 FPS.The difference is the black pouch is less powerful but more durable.Mini Marshmallows are a MUST HAVE to shoot with it. I've shot half of a bag of them already and they go about 20 yds. on a good shot. Perfect for a marshmallow war.Small game? MaybeSelf Defense? NoTarget practice? YesPaintball? NoAirsoft?

Its fun and easy to use. Difficult to aim but like any other thing where there is no history of invention, it does take a trial and error approach to get good at it. Maybe I shot it 50 time before I bought the first arrow kit and hammer grip. I made a quick trip to Dick's Sporting goods and bough 3 cheap arrows from the barrel of arrows at the front of the store and took them out to the backyard. My set up was crude. A large cardboard box stuffed tight with newspaper. I was out there for about a half hour and got pretty good from 30 feet away. but the trouble started when I was finished when I tried to put everything away. As I tightened cap it kept getting loose. Turns out the threading was unwinding like a string on a sweater. So I contacted the company by email and described the issue. They responded and asked for picture. Sent it a picture and they were surprised by the issue and offered to send a replacement part.My review is I like the product. I like the functionality and the price. I like their customer service and the response to issues. So overall, I love it.

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.

I don't personally feel this product lived up to the expectations. At best it's a novelty but in my opinion is not an acceptable substitute for a traditional slingshot.The accuracy is mediocre and definitely not on par with a standard wrist rocket. I can hit the target if I am close enough but beyond 20 yards it doesn't seem consistent.The velocity is ok--again compared with a standard slingshot I don't feel it is comparable.As far as durability, it seems to be well made but I am sure the elastic pouch will breakdown over time especially if you try to use anything other than smooth round ammo. Unlike a typical sling shot, picking a rock up out of the driveway and launching it is not advisable. It will go wherever.A word of caution--be very careful where your pinkie finger is when you pull this thing back and let go! Like a fool I had mine in the wrong place when I let that sucker fly and after more than a week I am still nursing a nice little blood blister. Hurt like a ---------! Not a product issue, user error. Just beware if you get one and use it.

First off, for everyone saying you can make something like this at home, you're right. However it will be no where near as durable and powerful AND accurate as this beast. This thing comes with two pouches, a black pouch, and a blue pro pouch. The pro pouch is thicker latex/rubber/whatever material they used, and is harder to pull back but does far more damage than the black pouch. The black pouch is easier to pull back (I suggest you use this when you first get it) and doesn't go as fast as the pro pouch.There is a on how to aim this things, link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FWwuRje0GQPros:Incredibly powerfulsurprisingly accurate (with practice)DurableSuper compact (like it says, it fits in your pocket)Water tight cap to hold ammo, water, pretty much anything small enough.Shoots Paint balls, lead/steel balls, marbles, smooth rocks, and air-soft pellets (faster than my air-soft gun) and other small round objectsCons:Practice makes perfect, I recommend you get lots of ammo to practice with (WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, THIS THING RICOCHETS)Hard to pull back at firstIt's awkward to aim this thing at first, but like I said practice makes perfectUnless you can find some really smooth rocks you shouldn't shoot them. (jagged rocks can cut latex)There's not much modding you can do to this slingshot.Sidenote: Please, please, PLEASE watch that video, shooting for newbies. It will help you learn how to properly aim it without shooting your wrists like I did.Overall this things pretty awesome, i'd recommend buying item.
