   That looks very cool. The price isn't bad at all. I may have to have
one of those. I've never seen anything quite like it. Let's hear a range report
as soon as you can, OK?
Thanks for the post!

As the man says,the slingshot can split pencils...........so can a .22 target rifle........but can you?or am I just being a cynical Scotsman?Personally I'd rather chuck a big axe at it.

 Those have been around for a few years. Seem kinda gimmicky, but If I had an extra $50 (never seem to) I'd be tempted.

 When I first saw it, I thought about making a bracket to mount a laser on my wrist rocket. I saw a slingshot a guy made with a simple 'tube sight' years ago.

 This is interesting...

 It appears that the laser is attached to an extension spring that's held by the shooter (maybe by a ring around the index finger?). The laser should track to wherever the shot is going to hit, regardless of variations in holding the handle and pouch from shot to shot.

OK moxgrove.  Youve had plenty of time to wring out your new toy.  Let us know how easy it is to shoot accurately.  Tell us how the advertising hype and reality compare. 

Inquiring minds would like to hear.

Thanks

Did you try the shotgun things too?
