Trumark Slingshot Power Bands Heavy

 (14 customer reviews)

I didn't have any difficulty with the heavy pull, and they are generally nice. The problem is that they break too often, and at 4 bucks each that's not good. I ordered 4 bands, and broke 3 in 2 days.
The first one broke at the slinghsot end, but it was sort of my fault because the slingshot had rough edges. I took a dremel and some sandpaper and the next two bands didn't break there. However, they broke at the pouch end. There is a plastic insert that connects the band with the pouch, and it broke twice, after an average of ~50 shots. That's pretty expensive, and it would be cheaper to shoot a .22 rifle or a CO2 pellet gun.

The Heavy Pull Powerband lives up to it's name. It definetly gives a more velocity and range over the normal pull bands. This comes at the cost of a harder pull, and may be difficult for anyone who is challenged by the normal pull bands. My only complaint is that the leather will twist after most shots. This makes "loading" for the next shot a little more time consuming.

These bands are extremely well made and of high quality, but they are extremely strong and hard to pull back fully. I thought I could handle any bands, but these ones are actually too strong for me. If you have a strong pull, you will not be disappointed, but only buy if you can realistically handle it.
