When I was a child, I can easily remember having the basic slingshots that you would use for weeks until the cheap rubber band snapped on your wrist and you would hope you can find a thick rubber band as a replacement.
I can remember pretending to be Hawkeye or Green Arrow as a kid but using this slingshot to hit cans from afar, or hit insects closeby.
While those memories will be with me forever, I then came across the Rochan Professional Slingshot and the innerchild within me immediately wanted to give this a try.
Made of stainless steel with a wood grip, it’s easy to put together thanks to the instructions and you also get a carrying bag, replacement bands and over a 100+ small metal balls/ammo (which are like smaller version of pachinko balls – which I probably will upgrade to).
The only thing is that you want to purchase two pairs of LR44 batteries, as you will need three for the laser sight. While, I’m not sure if the laser sight is needed, as my accuracy has been way off the mark.
A big question that people may ask is it fit worked. I guess if you practice with it a lot you can probably get better accuracy, and I have practiced a good time with it and I’m using a soccer ball about 15 yards away as my target and I have yet to hit it directly. So, I’ve been alternating distances to see how accurate I can hit but anything past 15 yards, 30 yards or so, I haven’t hit it yet. Of course, the closer you are the better.
So, I’m not able to hit long distance but like anything else, it takes practice I suppose.
But I do like the look and feel of this Rochan slingshot. It’s a little heavy so some may have wrist fatigue.
Overall, I do like it and it’s like a slingshot upgrade for grownups! If you are interested, definitely check it out!
