I went out and got myself a Primitive Supply natural this week, let me tell you, I usually just prefer to make my own.....but there are exceptions. This natural is definitely one of them.
This slingshot is the down to business, no frills frame that is made to get the job done. We often praise slingshots for their beauty, finish, and shape.....This one harbors beauty in its functionality. When an older fellow comes back into slingshots after a 50 year hiatus and they dream of what they used to craft with their buddies and slap whatever stretched on it, often at first they seek that same type of slingshot. I'm not that type but this one is a real throwback to back when slingshots were a simple Y. Madison does well to pay homage to that simplicity, yet still produce a product that preforms beautifully.
When he says bullet proof, he means it! This thing can take whatever you throw at it, any tough situation when carried in the field and it is very likely his slingshot will come out unharmed. The attachments are incredibly secure and strong, the fork itself is too, as most forks are naturally sound, and the pouch could last a lifetime. It seems like it may be some sort of stripped belt leather and it is both soft and supple, yet thick and strong. Also, and added plus to it is the fact that it is long yet still not very wide giving it the capability to shoot most sizes of ammo without paying for it in pouch weight.
I can go further into this when I have more time but I'll give a quick bit on performance.....These tubes have a pretty hefty draw, but it is very smooth and I'm far from a body builder and I can get them out to around 35" quite comfortably. Along with that, once released they have some serious power! I love bands that will fire my free supply of heavy stones, and these qualify. I can completely obliterate a coffee can with these stones (approx. .65 cal lead weight to them) and tubes in no time. It is a good thing I'm a decent shot too because I doubt they would be too kind to the back fence if there were to be a flier.......( it already happened once, sounds like a gunshot, if it was late at night the police would have been called

) ......just because they are that fast, and coupled with a tone it is scary.
Yet, what they are truly meant for are lead balls, large steel, and conical sabots, and I can honestly tell you with my draw with them they are even if not better than flatband speeds. Madison was kind enough to send some ammo with it, and they all shot perfectly flat trajectories at yet again blistering speeds! I even have some .60 cal conical sabots that I gave a go with it, and it again handled them perfectly....

I will continue to update my review thread on this slingshot, but all in all I LOVE IT

. It will last forever as is, but Frogman promised frame fixes and band replacements even though they are rumored to last into the thousands in shot count....
I will enjoy every moment I spend hurling ammo downrange with it, and hopefully hunting success will follow....that is what it is meant for, the no worries long lasting, dependable, hunter's best friend. Just look at Frogman's hunting posts and then go out and get one yourself!
