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.
I would HIGHLY reccomend buying this slingshot.


I'm looking forward to trying this
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.
