Perfect Mix of Power, Precision, and Fun
I’ve been having an absolute blast with the Barnett King Rat Slingshot, and it’s easily earned a five-star rating from me! This thing is a perfect mix of power, precision, and fun, whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart like me. Right out of the box, it comes with everything you need: a strong power band, a brushed leather pouch, and some slingshot ammo to get started. I was hitting targets with surprising accuracy after just a few tries, and the power behind each shot is impressive—great for plinking cans or even small game if that’s your thing. The design feels solid and comfortable in hand, and it’s compact enough to toss in a pocket or bag for outdoor adventures.The leather pouch is smooth and well-made, holding the ammo securely, and the power band delivers a satisfying snap with every launch. I love that it’s versatile enough for both adults and kids to enjoy—my nephew and I have been competing for hours, and it’s held up flawlessly. Barnett’s reputation shines through here; it’s clear this isn’t some flimsy toy but a quality tool built for real use.Pros:• Packs a powerful punch with the included power band• Compact and portable, perfect for on-the-go fun• Brushed leather pouch feels premium and works great• Comes with ammo, so you’re ready to shoot right away• Sturdy build that’s suitable for all agesCons:• The power band can be a bit tough to pull back for younger kids at first• Ammo supply is limited—stock up if you plan to shoot a lotThis slingshot has reignited my love for simple, hands-on fun, and it’s been a hit with everyone who’s tried it. For the price, you’re getting top-notch quality and endless entertainment. Five stars, hands down—Barnett nailed it with the King Rat!

Upgrade your rubber !
Overall, it’s a great slingshot!The three-color site is not stationary and becomes obsolete. I ended up just taking mine off.About every 200 shots, the grey, stock rubber breaks.I had to, in a short time, upgrade to a better rubber.And that’s with me taking it easy, plinking Agamas off the fence.Definitely great fun, great quality and well worth the price.

An excellent, very accurate, top-of-the-line, hunting slingshot.
This slingshot is the next best thing to a pistol. It is made of high quality, durable materials and you will probably die of old age before you can wear it out. It's accurate and the band is capable of amazing speeds when releasing whatever you are using as shot. It will definitely kill anything you are aiming at so if you are looking for one to hunt with then this is it.

Very solid and consistent frame
The bands are too strong for me. I replaced the stock bands with thinner tubes, and a smaller pouch. Sometimes I modify the frame by attaching flat bands, and that makes this slingshot a serious tack driver. The included sight works well once you figure out how to position it. However, I get great results bye allining the top band with the target. Give the pouch a clean/even release, and you should hit or come close to your target. I love this frame and sight system. Just make sure to secure the sight to the frame using a rubber band. The sight is known to fall off. Thanks for listening.

Good, but not good enough
It's construction is very sturdy. Fits good in my hand. My issue? I put the sight on, clipped it shut. Fired it and lost the sight from the first shot. Nowhere to be found. Went to their site for help....none to be found. Save a few bucks and buy without the site

One of the best folders I've ever used
I have a lot of slingshots. This one is a beast is the best folder. I've used yet. The bands are strong and sturdy and don't seem to dry out and this thing has got some serious velocity. If you take your time and practice with it, it's also dead on accurate. This is a hell of a good slingshot

Cheap version of marketed pictures of sling
I'm an avid sligshot hunter, I saw these slings and researched them a couple months. In all the product images there is a sling with a great looking durable textured finish with engraved shock absorbers. The product I got is so off color and cheaply finished. The finish scrat ched off with the cloth in a backpack leaving cheap .white plastic. The shock absorbers are cheap black plastic not engraved alloy like you see. The wrist brace retention nubs have wore/ crumbled after folding them twice. That worries me that the whole frame is weak enough to snap/ explode after a few shots. The bands are very strong so this isn't for most young people. I basically paid $30 for a cheap white plastic sling that is crumbling appart. If this is a " second generation" product run and there are any slings like what's pictured I would like to have one to try but this sling is sketchy and cheap and the paint rubs off.
