I finally came to this masterpiece.
He looks even smoother in his hand than in the picture.
Excellent ergonomics.
The best thing to do is to use tubular rubber as well as flat rubber.
Shot very accurately.
The metal is perfectly polished, sturdy and the grip is solid. If you didn't read carefully you'll be disappointed with the very small metal balls,the fact is,the small steel balls are not ammo, they are used for fixing the tube. I use the heavier ball for shot.I am very pleased with the rarewood handle, classical aesthetics style and offers very comfortable grip. I once got a similar model here in Walmart,USA. So I was worried about the design and thought they would snap back at me but with this slingshot, I was able to get great leverage and pull it as hard as I know I need to get a proper shot. A great slingshot for both shooters and collectors, but this thing isn't for small kids, very powerful.
hola. El producto es realmente bueno. muy ergonomico, es manejable y facil de transportar. estoy contento con él. solo poner un pequeño contratiempo en relacion a las gomas redondas, son muy duras. Las planas estan muy bien.
a este respecto, podria aconsejarme unas gomas redondas mas blandas? De las que venden en su tienda.
Gracias

Hi.
The product is really good. very ergonomic, it is manageable and easy to transport. I'm happy with him. just put a little mishap in relation to round rubber, they are very hard. The plans are very good.
In this respect, could you advise me some softer round rubbers? Of those that sell in your store.
Thank you
I'm overall happy with all Dankung tubes, and these ones are again another surprise.
While they are a little less powerful of 1745, they are a Little faster especially for medium ammo like 9-10mm.
I shot most of times with singles cutted at 450% and 9mm balls on any slingshot and I believe this is the best tube for targeting, becasue its velocity and easy to pull.
So targeting use singles, more speed with pseudo tapering and hunting strength is easy reached with a double ones up to 10mm leads.
Obviously I will buy it again, I'm doing it right now, from the ONLY source you should trust for tubes. Here,, DANKUNG!
It came with a big envelope. Much to my surprise, it just took 14 days although I used a cheap brief tracking option. Shooting well in cold backyard without cold effect. Love these PREMIUM tubings.
I'd like to share one of my newest dankung slingshots. When I saw this on the dankung website, there were other models (general, butterly, antelope, fox, and fox with aiming point) that had overall height of 8cm and this King Shrimp model was listed as 9cm. Since I have larger than avg. hands, I opted for this one and I'm glad that I got this because I can just wrap my pinky around the end of the handle. If I had gotten other ones, it would have been way too small. But I am interested in the other mini models, I asked dankung if they could make me a custom. I'm waiting for their reply so I let you know if this is possible.
Now going back to the subject on hand, the Mini Shrimp had one of the best handle wrap I've seen in any Chinese slingshots. The wrap is tight and very well done. The material of the wrapping is also my favorite. It was a suede like texture that I can see will absorb sweat, not making it slippery in my usually sweaty hands. It came with the lanyard you see in the pictures. The gourd you see seems like some type of horn. It is lovely.
I've been using this slingshot with the stock looped 1632 tubes to shoot BB's. The tubes are little short but it works. When this wears out, I'm planning to use single strand 1632 tube setup to shoot BB's.
I'm totally blown away by this slingshot that I'm planning to add more dankung mini's to my collection. I just wish Dankung gave the option to select the color of the wrapping material. Also my Mini Shrimp didn't come with positioning grooves but I sure wish that I had them. Getting the other versions of the mini in King Shrimp size (9cm height) would be a dream. Imagine butterfly, fox and antelope in a larger hand friendly size.
The precise .6 green and the .75 orange are great products for the catapult enthusiast! Also the new tying ribbon material is really good as well as the pouch tying jig.
I like the .25 (I think it is) solid rubber for tying the band sets to the catapult frames.
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.
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.
Hi all my Rosewood frameless slingshot arrived at my house in the U.K this morning, absolutely beautiful top quality, highly polished finish. I have not had chance to try it out yet as we have got snow at the moment here in the U.K and it is very cold, but just looking at it looks like it will be lots of fun. I recommend all to buy one and will definitely tell and show anyone in the local slingshot community. Thank you Dankung i know i am going to have hours of fun with this. Thank you again John.
p.s I think you aught to change the name to Seahorse Slingshot as it looks like a Seahorse, again thank you, John.
I recently purchased a second Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot, as this is my preferred slingshot. There’s really not much to add to the review I did a few months ago, as the slingshot is basically the same.
However, this time I asked for a Black slingshot, and I noticed this version is slightly heavier (64gr instead of 55gr), and thicker than the Brown slingshot I already had. This does not add much bulk to the slingshot, but it looks sturdier.
As I mentioned before, I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic, my Brown slingshot really feels sturdy. In any case, if you feel the need for a sturdier slingshot, go for the Black color option.
My younger brother is new to slingshot shooting and he has been shooting extremely well with 'antelope'.
I received it as a gift for something to buy and I must say that I was very kindly surprised that such a thin rubber band can handle very quickly.
Pleased to stretch and shoot very quickly.
I finally came to this masterpiece.
He looks even smoother in his hand than in the picture.

Really very good and fast rubber. I've also tried the ine gumi brand dankung and are really very good, but the premium is really cool.
very light but still sturdy, I carry it as EDC
Five stars! Bought 2 got 3 from DANKUNG, all are made of steel.
My third 'Pixiu' arrived. Great quality and aiming point !!

This is an excellent piece of equipment a must have for all flatband shooter's

I have 4 DANKUNG slings and one earphone from DANKUNG. This sling is no doubt the best!
