The Pocket Shot

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.....

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.

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=8FWwuRje0GQ Pros: Incredibly powerful surprisingly accurate (with practice) Durable Super 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 objects Cons: Practice makes perfect, I recommend you get lots of ammo to practice with (WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, THIS THING RICOCHETS) Hard to pull back at first It's awkward to aim this thing at first, but like I said practice makes perfect Unless 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.

Die Lieferung hat 2 Wochen gedauert und als ich Sie erhalten habe war ich zuerst enttäuscht, weil der mitgelieferte stärkere „Pro-Pouch“ erhebliche Produktionsmängel aufgewiesen hat und zu wenig Kugeln geliefert wurden. Am Pro-Pouch waren im inneren Schlitze, vermutlich weil bereits getrocknete Latex-Bröckchen bei der Produktion mitverarbeitet worden sind. Nach E-Mail-Beschwerde beim Händler hat dieser aber sehr schnell reagiert und sehr kulant nachgebessert, so dass es von dieser Seite aus sicherlich nichts zu beanstanden gab. Die Pocket Shot selber ist wirklich ein cooles Teil und es ist nicht schwer damit zu zielen. Sie ist durchdacht, klein und kann auch als wasserdichter Behälter genutzt werden. Mit dem Deckel kann man sie auch aufschrauben um die Pouches (Latexsäckchen) zu wechseln. Hierbei sind mir am Mündungsrand schnell einige kleine Kunststoff-Stückchen abgebrochen, aber das hat die Funktionalität nicht beeinträchtigt. Da in Youtube Videos behauptet wird, dass 1/3 der Geschwindigkeit einer Pistolenkugel erreicht werden kann hatte ich wohl zu hohe Erwartungen an die Durchschlagskraft. Aus naher Entfernung (< 1 m) wird eine volle Bierdose spektakulär auf beiden Seiten durchschlagen, aber bei einem Granatapfel geht die Kugel nur rein (Pro-Pouch). Bei über 7 m Entfernung reicht die Durchschlagskraft nicht mehr aus um die Plastikfolie von einem Sack Gartenerde zu durchdringen (Standard-Pouch). Trotzdem würde ich die Pocket Shot als Spielzeug für Kinder nicht empfehlen, da im Vergleich zu den meisten konventionellen Schleudern schon viel Wucht dahinter steckt. 4.5 Sterne

il va falloir s'habituer a ce petit engin bien sympatique mais puissant

Finde die Pocket-Shot Spitze! Das Packmaß ist sehr klein, dadurch kann man sie bequem in die Hosentasche stecken. Durch den Deckel lassen sich sogar die Kugeln direkt mit transportieren. Das Wechseln der Gummis funktioniert auch sehr gut. Allerdings muss man beim blauen schon kräftig ziehen, was aber der Geschossgeschwindigkeit zu Gute kommt! :-) Sie lässt sich mit etwas Übung sehr schnell nachladen und Zielen kann man ebenfalls sehr gut. Eine Coladose auf 10-15 Meter ist kein Problem. Besonders gefällt mir die Handhabung mit der Monition im Vergleich zu einer normalen Zwille. Man muss die Munition nicht umständlich "reinfriemeln" sondern sie fällt durch das spitz zulaufende Ende des Gummis direkt an die richtige Stelle. Dadurch auch die hohe Schussfrequenz. Etwas Schade finde ich dass man sich nur für orange odker schwarz (Premium-Packet für mehr Geld und Zusatzzubehöhr) entscheiden kann. Insgesamt ein super Teil was richtig Spass macht!

The Pocket Shot collapses down to about 2-3 inches in size, the rubber pouch collapses into itself, so you can pack in in your pocket! Way easier to carry around than any other 'slingshot' I have used! Pretty much anything you can fit in it you can shoot, marbles, rocks, balls of tape...etc and the Pocket Shot will shoot up to 350 feet per second! I will be ordering the whisker biscuit from their website so I can shoot arrows, this thing is just too much fun!

Habe mir die "Pocket-Shot"-Schleuder gekauft in der Hoffnung eine verbesserte und verkleinerte Zwille zu erhalten. Da ich aber davor noch nie derartige Zwillen in den Händen hielt, habe ich das Wertstück zurückgeschickt. Die Schleuder hat eine äußerst gute Stoßkraft, ist sehr kompakt und federleicht, allerdings ist es schwer den "Ring" ohne Griff zu halten. Eine Version mit einem Griff würde ich mehr empfehlen, wenn es um Genauigkeit geht.
