[TowerTalk] Broken slingshot - need quality replacement to get antennas up in the trees

[Bob Shohet, KQ2M]

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
