Trumark WS-1

This is probably my least favorite of the dozens of slings I own because doesn't fold but it is too light for serious target work. The frame is basically indestructable (I know that the foam rubber may rot after a few decades) but the wrist brace tends to slap your wrist or lower arm. There are many more comfortable designs on the market that cost about the same and fold up for your pocket.

I've owned and shot my WS-1 now for over 3 years, I use it for squirrel hunting, not to kill the squirrel but to move it around the tree. What I like best about the WS-1 is that its simple, and works, sure a folder would be easier to carry, but I like the solid feel of the one piece unit, It's also good to take along on my walking trips, it will change a bad dogs mind quick. I never use full draw on animals, I use just enough to move them on. I think I paid $6 for mine at Academy, anyway, if you don't have one, get one, beats the hell out of throwing rocks

The bands on the Trumark WS-1 are top notch compared to my Marksman bands, which ripped extremely quickly. I was afraid that the foam wrist-brace would be flimsy and not last long, but it is exactly the opposite. The wrist-brace is hard and seems like it will last forever, in fact it is a little to hard and hurts your wrist when you pull on the bands, unless you have a jacket on. The handle is made out of vinyl which initially feels great, until 10 minutes later when your hands are sweaty and you can't get a grip. It is very light, because it is made out of aluminum, almost all other makers of slingshots use steel. You get tons of power and stability with this slingshot, because it is non-folding. The WS-1 doesn't cost much, and is very high quality. I recommend this slingshot.
