Spencer,
I've seen pictures in adds for that model. I don't know how it compares to other hunting slingshots or if the fancy fiber optics and weights are worth the extra $. I can say that my experience w/ hunting sling shots (SS) is:
1. The heavier tubing is FAR more accurate than what is found in most factory models I've seen in recent years. Wish I knew of a source to steer you to. Whatever the model SS, the heavy grade latex tubing is the ONLY way to go. The medical grade to me seems too weak. Still not enough power & consistancy.
2. If you decide not to go w/the fiber opt.sight model, you can paint a 3 dot sight that seems to help. One dot/stripe on top of grip. One dot/stripe on both sides just below bands.
3. I used to wonder if the weights really helped too. Someone who has owned this model and others may correct me, but I personally came to the conclusion that they were mainly hype. After practiceing w/standard models, found that proper grip, muscle control, sight picture had everything to do w/steady accurate shot placement. That's my .02
4. If you get it. I don't think that the weights and sight that come w/it is detrimental or takes away from its accuracy. I just don't know that they help. If $ and ease of carry/packability are not an issue, by all means get it and let me know what you think.
5. For ranges out to around 20 yds. they are great for rabbit hunting and plinking.
Good shooting,
Robert
Ps: Add a)round ammo , b)even tubing length, and c)proper pinch & follow through to #3.
