I received this through a promotion offered by Dankung. It works very well for replacement for some of my Western style "wrist rockets". As well, I've put some onto a couple of OTT catapults created by some Western sling shot makers who seem to like to put the flat bands on all their slingshots.
WOW!!! What a nice catapult! I like the wide width to the forks. It's a beautifully crafted, solid piece of construction. Feel very solid in the hand. The aiming points are truly helpful when using aiming style shooting as opposed to instinctive shooting style. The bands that came with it would need Jorge Spare to draw back, but putting on a milder set of bands made it enjoyably shootable. A great addition to anyone's collection.
As an avid collector, I just could not resist ordering the Butterfly Mini Sling.
Like it's big brother (the Butterfly), the flaring "earlobe" is it's most distinguishing feature..
It is more pronounced on the Mini in order to provide additional thumb support given its reduced size, overall width of 95 mm. (83 length).
A comfortable and safe shoot despite it's diminutive siz,e, even in full butterfly mode.
Mine was beautifully wrapped (two toned, red and black)., and came banded with 1632 looped tubes that I could actually use with ease (another first).
Well done DK!
I bought one of these "plastic" X6's just to see what it's like.
Now, I cant' wait to get a metal one, better yet, maybe an Antelope!!!
The first time I had to insert the smallest of bbs to plug up the end of a tube, I thought I'd never accomplish what needed to be done. The bb slipped and slopped all over the place and I was covered in sweat just trying to get that damn little bb into that damn little tube.
Then, along came the bb installer and all that grief just went away.
Just the "plink" you hear when you connect with the target is most rewarding. I've purchased both sizes. The 4cm works great and stands up well to 3/8" steel balls from a double thereaband gold ss.
On-order I have a set of the 3cm targets and will advise upon receipt.
This replacement piece is designed for the "platinum" CatchBox, however, I bought one and just fixed it into my "economy" CatchBox and it works just like a champ. Lets me shoot a little heavier shot and/or bands and not risk causing any damage to the Box itself.
I bought one of these thinking that it would "monsterously" big for my medium-sized western hand. Nope! It fits perfectly. If it's too small for your ring finger, try it on your pinkie. After all, the magnet goes on the inside. If it's too big ... try your index finger.
I've got my second one on order now.
I received this as a promotional item from Dankung with purchase of a Panther. Great little product I've seen other "banding rigs" that are much larger and more cumbersone, but I don't think that they'll do any better of a job than this nifty little machine.
WOW!!! What a nice little shooter with plenty of "handle" to grip onto. Slim in style but with a little longer handle, this slingshot is easy to stick into the pocket and bring anywhere with you. I appreciate the pronounced protrusions on top of the forks. For anyone who's had a band slip off of the forks, you'll appreciate how this slingshot keeps things in line for you. Somewhat similar in design to The Tiny Ghost, this one is wrapped with rubber tubing giving a great purchase on the slingshot.
