This is an excellent piece of equipment a must have for all flatband shooter's
I find .7 mm precise band 20mm-30mm tapers handle 12 and 14 mm steel excellent fast and accurate
I was holding the pouch like i do to shoot regular slingshots , also my pouch is much bigger , I am determined to get it right so i have much practicing to do
please notice your rear hand should pinch the ammo rather than the pouch, this is a big different from traditional dankung slingshots
Hi , I love this slingshot but i hit the frame ( the part that covers my thumb ) every time i shoot , can anyone please help me , I cant find any videos or instructions explaining how to shoot it , I have many slingshots and I love shooting , Thank you PLEASE HELP ME ... Larry
I've order the DK's Flatband Palm Thunder and it show up at my door few days ago just in time for some christmas shooting, as i expected this is a Very High Quality hand made Cold Band slingshot as i own many of DK's "Ergonomic" i was sceptical about how comfortable can a Non Ergonomic slingshot be, but to my own surprise it's actually very comfortable to hold it actually fit my palm very well at the same time this is a flat and small slingshot if use thicker flatband "0.75 - 1mm" it really can become a Pocket Hunter i am Supper Happy with it. Dankung.com You have done it again.
Wow Mate..i had to give you 200% respect, coz as for myself i am starting to having hard time pulling loop tube 1745 to my draw @ 28" let let alone 1745 Cocktail and 2050 i would say for 1745 its better to use 10mm minium, other wise 1745 Cocktail can Over Power 8mm & 9.5mm very easy.
I just love the Dankung bands. It has to be said that I much prefer the Chinese length bands as apposed to the western shooters length.
The only size tubes I have yet to try are the looped 2050's which are on the way to me as we speak.
For me the western shooters tube Lengths are far too long and the pouches far too big and heavy. This leads to hand slap and the need to be selective over which type and weight of ammo to use.
I am currently using 1745 cocktail tubes and all I can say is WOW!
Being shorter than western shooter tubes means I can stretch them to reach their full potential.
Being shorter and the pouches smaller and lighter means no hand slap what so ever.....no matter which ammo I use. I have 8mm, 9.5mm 10mm 12mm steel...12mm, 14mm lead and also 16mm glass marbles. The cocktail bands handle all types with extreme accuracy and a devastating inpack.
Over 2000 rounds in and still on my first set. Really looking forward to getting the 2050 cocktails on my dankung butterfly.
Forget flatbands... I can get through a set of them in less than 50 rounds.
Dankung looped tubes especially the cocktails are unbeatable.
Thank you Dankung.
This is Crazy shooting 9.5mm Steel Ball over 300fps but at 10kg+ pull those are not easy tube to handle..
I recently received a free Jungle Hunter slingshot from Dankung. Dankung explains that the Jungle Hunter is ‘designed in USA’, and specially adapted for western shooters (considering the different hand size and shooting style).
Compared to my General slingshot, the Jungle Hunter is significantly taller, with most of the additional height in the handle, but some additional height in the fork, too. The Jungle Hunter is also wider (mostly the fork), and it has straighter lines. As it is to be expected, this size increase comes with a weight increase, going up to 143gr (while the General has a weight of 112gr).
Both slingshots are made by casting the Stainless Steel into a mold, not from cold-bent rods. As for the finish, the General is fully polished, while the Jungle Hunter is not (unpolished areas are the inside of the handle, and the gaps in the ‘ears’ of the forks, where the rubber bands are attached).
The Jungle Hunter feels very sturdy, but it also feels a little heavy in the hand. It is a straight (non-ergonomic) model, and the forks have no grooves to help keep the tubing in place.
I can comfortably shoot the General slingshot using a Chinese style grip. The Jungle Hunter, is little big for me to use a Chinese style grip, though I can manage. For a hammer grip, I find that the handle is too thin, and would need lots of wrapping. Instead, I may add a wooden grip to the handle (much like Joerg Sprave did with a Panther slingshot).
Since my hands are not particularly big, I prefer the General slingshot over the Jungle Hunter.
