4. Which slingshot is right for me
Your slingshot has to suit you!
Slingshots differ not only in design, but especially in feel and handling.
There is no "best" slingshot for everyone. There are only slingshots that suit you better or worse.
This page helps you to classify the differences of our slingshots and to make a conscious decision.
