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.

"Steps 8" is to help you get the tube through the hole of the pouch, you insert the band maker like how the photo did, than you insert tube between the space between the band maker, than pull out the band maker with the tube than you end up with the tube in the small hole of the pouch.
"Steps 9" is to secure the pouch between the tube, you insert the tool under tube stopper you just make at Step 7, than you insert the tube that came out of other side of the pouch, inset the tube between the tool than pull the tool back out with the tube under the stopper than hopefully what you see would be "Step 10"..Hope this can help..^_^

I have the band maker tool, but I don't understand how to use it. I can get to step 7 but steps 8 and 9 aren't clear enough. Please help.

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.

Many thanks,

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.

please notice your rear hand should pinch the ammo rather than the pouch, this is a big different from traditional dankung slingshots
