If anyone gets good bands or uses surgical tubing be advised that when not in use you can store them in the freezer and they will last for a very very long time. (Let warm up before stretching.)

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
