Barnett Black Widow

Livid with this piece of guff. Took one shot and the rubber tube had a tear on it. Total let down.

Son and Dad on a pebble beach as the sun sets. We were taking it in turns to shoot at a washed up tin can. The new that day slingshot failed after an hour or so. The rubber became holed where it attaches. A nice evening ended in disappointment. No longer the Black Widow I grew up with, shame. look for another make.

i bought this cattie because i wanted a decent, cheap cattie that i can have good fun with.it really is a brilliant catapult fo beginners, but to be honest it doesn't really compare with the saunders and daisy catapults.

it can reach about 205 fps with a .38 steel bb. the accuracy is not bad, but due to the relativeley low power, it would be greatly improved with better bands. would definiteley reccomend for begginers though.

I have always wanted a slingshot and I was so exited when I saw the black widow and decided to purchase it I have owned it for 2 days I have not even used the 10 shots that come with it and the wrist strap is broken and the bands are about to break wish I never bought it, what a load of garbage

i would recomend this to someone thats over 18

My barnett blackwidow lasted for a very long time I bought it with the yellow bands on and I used it for a year with no ripps I shot about 600 shot and it did not rip now I bought the red bands. I like the grip of the handle a lot but the only thing I did not like in this slingshot that it has very narrow forks unlike trumark which have very wide forks but overall i loved this slingshot.

Do not try the Black Widow with light, small ammo; shots go wild. Accuracy is fair to good with 12mm/.5" steel balls. Standard yellow bands are medium-hard pull, mainly because the pouch isn't sufficiently textured for a good grip. Try the fist-grip shown on YouTube for a much better pull. I would much prefer tapered bands such as Marksman provides, but with the larger pouch of the Barnett. I would also like to see a better style of band-to-pouch attachment, as the existing type allows the pouch to twist within the band loops. The wrist brace strap on my example was quite loose, so I added a wrap of duct tape to the rods and pushed the strap back on for keeps.

All told, the Barnett Black Widow gives good value for a light-weight, wrist braced slingshot, but the Marksman with tapered, red bands shoots faster and more accurately with lighter, smaller balls.

Althogh modern catapults are fine my

young son asked me how to make

one from scratch like we used to

when we were kids .But the problem was can

you still buy the old fashion elastic

I've been taking a Black Widow with me when I going fishing for the past 30 years and it hasn't failed me yet. It may not be the most pricey catapult, but it is certainly amongst the best. Durable, good range, high level of accuracy - what more could you ask for?

Brilliant power, and with a little practice, accuracy. This is supposed to be a budget gadget, but I would say it surpasses it more expensive counterparts, the cobra and diablo. the quality is fantastic and although I've been using it for a month now, the bands are barely worn.It even comes with a foldable arm brace and ammunition. Overall 10/10!
