    Hard to make any judgement about it without seeing it shoot. Looks intersting and can't believe it is as light as they claim.

    The rubber bands seem to have found a home in some exercise equipment, but at home the temperature stays fairly constant. I would fear there could be some performance differences in different temperatures from the rubber. And I'd worry about their wear.

    Having said that, it sounds like, to quote my friends from Boston, a whicked pissa', I'd love to give it a go!

    Arrow speeds not that impressive in this video considering the thing is set near 80#. Apparently it's also designed as a sling shot shooting 10 and 12mm steel balls. Pretty cool but unless I'm missing something the speed isn't there yet.

    Is like to shoot it. Wouldn't want to get tangled up in changing strings and cables though. Lol
