    Kevin Wright wrist rocket's are fun to start, but aren't that good of slings. I'll never go back to a wrist rocket. Go invest in a rotary cutter, cutting pad, tbg rubber, and buy/make a midsized frame similar to what you see in this clip. It'll put a wrist rocket to shame (easier to draw, aim, much faster, concealable etc). Once you make the initial $30 investment you can make allot of bands and sling shot frames to figure out what you like. I recommend "simple shots" lower end slings as an off the shelf decent slingshot with everything fairly dialed in for Target shooting (but bands can be setup for hunting too). Archery and slingshots are allot of fun (I own allot of guns but they don't get used nearly as much now I've gotten into slingshots).
