After looking at what's available, this Trumark slingshot stood out to me. It cost less than $10. I believe the lowly slingshot is often overlooked by hunters, and is an incredible value. They are simple, capable, and fun.
This folding Trumark FS-1 is a nice folding design. The handle is molded to fit the hand, but it makes it a little bulky to carry in a pants pocket.
Carry it in a jacket or a pouch, and you can quietly take small game with it. I have spent hundreds of dollars and never found a compact pellet handgun which would do that better.
This slingshot seems to be better quality than most. It has a plastic handle as do the others, but the frame is aluminum rather than steel.
I don't like the shiny, but like the lighter weight. I appreciate light weight in something I'll carry many miles.
Some other features are: A wider spread than most slingshots which is said to be better. A comfortable but slightly bulky folding and removable wrist brace.
The comfortable plastic grip has a chamber to hold ammo, or other small items. I may not use this feature because the ammo rattles and make noise.
This slingshot feels better than most, easier, and smoother in use. The nice handle, light weight, and good tubes/bands are a big part of that. The bands appear to be of much better quality than some.
