Being laid up and under Dr's orders not to run around is driving me nuts, My friends holding my car hostage doesn't help much either ;- ) ---- anyway these are two of my 17-4PH Stainless slings I was looking to give a good testing on my fishing/camping trip a couple of weeks ago. The top one has single 3050 tubes and is great for 1/4" and 5/16" also. The bottom is with looped 1636, to much for 1/4" but sends 5/16" and 3/8" out extremely fast. I feel these slings are perfect for looped 1030, 1636, 2040 and single 3050 tubes. I don't know if I would shoot 1/2" diameter stuff but .375 lead with 2040's should be the bomb !! Fork gap is 1 5/8" and the distance between tubes on the eye is 2.5".
The finger lanyard on the side is extremely important and it holds the sling in place weather I'm gripping it or not and the sling is ALWAYS in position as all I have to do is close my hand and the sling is in perfect shooting location on my hand. The black bands you see between the forks stops the rebound of the tubes and pouch from smacking me on the we of my shooting hand.
This is an exceptionally comfortable and super well made slingshot, although a bit heavy -- the ergo design fits my hand like a glove. I bought a few of these a while back on a super close out price, as at one time they were a rather expensive slingshot. When not all covered up with tape and fork rubber tubing, it is a beautiful sling ... I really like these :- )
Hope I'll be OK to test these out in the up coming weeks, I'm itching to be able to shoot again, heading back to bed, catch you all on the flip side ;- )
