Wizard Slingshot Replacement Rubber Power Bands (Magnum with Leather Pouch)

I have used many slingshot replacement bands over the years, and these are excellent. The bands are stiff at first, they need to be "broke in", and will become easier to shoot. I recommend pulling 50% and increase little by little the first couple days so you don't snap the bands before they have been stretched. I do not know why there are 3 colors and what the differences are, but the blue bands are the ones I use & recommend.However, the worst part of these bands is the leather pouch. It's very cheaply made, can be torn by hand, and will tear before the band does. What I did, which is a little more work, is I kept an old pouch from my Daisy slingshot band, which is much better made, and put it on the these bands. It is tedious, but you will get the hang of it. Since then, these bands have lasted a very long time. To change the pouch on the bands, you'll just need rubbing alcohol, small needle nose pliers, and patience.

Seen other reviews that aren't favorable....... but don't have a problem I think the color determines strength. I had the yellow and I ordered the blue ones. A bit stiffer which is good as I use marbles or steel shot which is a bit heavier. ALL of the bands fail at some point, esp with how far back you are pulling them. These have held up quite well, as I daily use mine to plink the bad critters that invade my garden and areas near me. Esp the critters that bother my cats. And no that is not dogs, we like the dogs that are always on leashes anyway in the neighborhood. Get the replacement bands and don't worry about it. Cry babies always will be crybabies.

It is a good value. I'll see how long it lasts compared to the Daisy original band.The leather pouch is a little larger than the original.

I used this slingshot rubber in the humid tropics and found it barely lasts a year before cracking and breaking, despite only light use. I'm being generous with 3 stars as this may be the norm for this kind of product, but was disappointed.

Hard to put on our old sling shot. My husband had to use a pliers to twist old plugs on side off then it was easier to get on. Just hope they stay on. Wouldn't want to get snapped pulling it back. Very stiff. Building some muscles up stretching it.

Oftentimes these bands are so cheap that they break in very short order. It is nice to find one at a reasonable cost but retaining enough power to use the slingshot effectively. These rubber were harder to pull than my previous ones, but after shooting for half and hour, it was clear that the extra power was creating a faster delivery. This is important when you are shooting varmints. It also provides a flatter trajectory when shooting at targets and makes this a reasonably good legal defense weapon for anyone who practices a bit.

Works great and looks good enough to last several years

Pouch not as good as original(4 star) but still OK. As a whole it's a good replacement. Strong band. No regrets.
