Dankung's 3060 for our 6mm Marksman slingshot frames was a very, very tight fit and really hard to get on, but works when you get them on. Unfortunately the 1842 and 2040 we bought most of was way too small for the 6mm Marksman frame and we can not use them at all:( now I need to order some new tubing and also material to make our own flatbands. I think i need to go up one size from the Black 3060 I bought to make them easier to get on the slingshots. 4070 maybe
I bought the black handle one. A very cool functional slingshot. Wider forks give more aiming area, I have fairly large hands with long fingers so for me a wide fork is more comfortable so I shoot better with it. I tried different gaps of Dankung slingshtos, ranging from 3.7cm, 4cm, 4.5cm, 5.0cm. This 5cm 'toucan' fit
my hand the best
I have bought about 72 pieces of this now. Quality has been excellent and all of the pouches are uniform. Much better than those knockoffs at aliexpress. It also does not stretch or deform after many uses. I use 9.5 steel balls in the most time, and occasionally 10mm. Both works well with this pouch. I reload the ammo fast without looking at it, the steelball just locates in the center of pouch each time.
I think I have now found my new favorite, Shoushou 1 mm thick flatband. Yesterday I was shooting 10 mm steel from 25 m and target was iron can, probabaly the firmest can I can find in market. Not CocaCola tin can, much thicker than it. The bands tapered is 20-15 mm. First hit to the left side of the can and it went through. Not happened before with 10 mm ammo. You know, bigger ammo is more difficult go through the target.
I always measure the gap before shoot a new slingshot. Now I prefer wide gaps and big-area forks. Im shooting almost exclusively sidways , I press my fingers on the forks, so I love Dankung's Toucan sereis as they have big-area at forks for my fingers to press on. that's really a big advantage over other slings. I am very accurate when the fork tips are only about 1 cm above my fingers. The wide gap (5 cm) helps the aiming.
Before I start, Id like to say that I'm a knife guy; I know a thing or two about fit and finish. This slingshot is really great when It comes to it. I bought this slingshot with my own money after trying a rosewood toucan a few years back.
Fit and Finish: 8/10
The handle on this slingshot is superb. The rosewood scales match nicely to the frame, and all the parts fit snugly together. There are only 2 reasons this didnt get a 10/10.
1: The handle protrudes slightly into the scales in spots leaving an ununiform look
2: the fibre optic sight doesnt quite fit the mounting bar properly. The hole is slightly large, by about a milimeter.
Ease of Use: 8/10
This slingshot assembles very easily with the included tools. All the parts fit tightly together, and I dont feel worried that they will come apart. I was very easily able to sight in the fibre optics to about 15m and it works as advertized. I hadnt picked up any of my slingshots in years and within 15 minutes, I was hitting a beer bottle from 20M out. The band attachment method is a little bit finnicky to get set up, but once you do, it's extremely solid. Make sure when you're clamping in a band you hear a "click"
Value: 10/10
I honestly can't say much bad about this slingshot at this price. Is it the same quality as a fully custom slingshot? No. Does it need to be? No. Does it come close? Hell yeah it does. This slingshot would be a great buy at $50. At $25, its a steal.
The most ergonomic slingshot handle I ever used. The handle matches the frame very well, unlike two similar catapults I bought elsewhere which are warped at bottom of handle.
For me, OTT lots of hands slap, TTF none. Basically, I would love to go for TTF's because I hate hand slap, additionally this TTF is about 5% bigger than other rosewood handle slingshots. Fit my hand perfectly
I wish the pouch is longer than it's . Just notice when you do replace one you'll get more resistance and more power with a fresh one so you know they loose power as they wear out. So if you need to compete or outdoor survival for food or small game hunting, simply want to impress someone, use a new band.
what I ordered are the rare rosewood Toucan and Agile rosewood toucan, generally they are beautiful and very nice little slingshot.Compact size great for pocket or a backpack. Sturdy stainless steel construction. I like the 'Rare rosewood Toucan' more as it has slimmer neck on the handle, very good grip.
After inquiry Dankung team, I purchased this one. The wider fork gap (50 mm) is excellent for accurate shooting at 10 - 20 meters with 8 mm steel ammo.(I enjoy precisely accurate short-distance small-ball shooting, such as hit the edge of Poker card ). Thank DANKUNG for great service and great product
A decent slingshot and creative projectile mechanism. I begun shootting slingshot 15 years ago, it's my first time to see a design like this. Just feel like shooting a compound bow. It's such a pity that it not include a manual . It took me 20 minutes to finish the assemble although it's in fact easy.
Beautiful little slingshot, I am very impressed. It is small but feels good in the hand as the handle is optimized for grip, I have adult male long hand with long fingers. I feel the narrow gap helps faster speed, which I have proven with the chronograph. this model's 4cm gap is just ideal!

Great for plinking, and seems to be lasting too.
