Hi,
The bands on my two Marksman slingshots broke two weeks ago.  I bought 
replacement Marksman slingshot bands – ALL 4 BROKE on the first or second pull. 
 Apparently these crappy replacement bands for Marksman are all made in China 
now.  No wonder the price went down.  I had used my Marksman slingshot with 
American made replacement bands for the past 20+ years before this and was able 
to get the 2 oz fishing sinker above branches at close to 100’ above ground – 
this is my goal.  But now it is impossible – the replacement bands are USELESS! 
 

I have checked other well-known brands and all of their replacement bands are 
made in China and, from reading the comments, the results are similar and 
awful.  

I need a quality US made slingshot with US made replacement bands.  I am not 
interested in using other methods.  (Bow and arrow, spud launcher, etc.)

Can anyone recommend a good US based company with quality slingshots and 
replacement bands made in the US? 

Tnx & 73
