I received this a few weeks back and must say after wearing out three sets of tubes using it that i t has fast become my favorite. This little flipper will have you smacking squirrels out of bird feeder with chick peas or cranberry beans in no time! Highly recommend. Handy. Pocketable, and attractive and with hunting tubes quite deadly in the right hands. One knows immediately that this is a new league. Made and shot all my life and this has great tube life. Getting a thousand shots per set on av. Using beans. I can nail things pretty good in both methods using this so traditional or gangster works. Love it!
