Effective range of a slingshot?

Question

I purchased a marksman 3055 sling shot and was just wondering how far it will shoot ( I ordered it so it should be coming in about a week) also do the bands break easily??

Answer 1

my old wrist rocket was accurate to about 30 ft. but effective range on something human powered is entirely up to the shooter. there are to many factors involved to say what the weapon is capable of by itself.

as far as the bands breaking, that depends on the usage and how it's stored. i believe that you should see signs of breaking long before it actually does if you inspect it before firing.
