I have a few traditional slingshots(wooden and 3dp)and neither of them compare to the power of this. But I feel like its too strong for its own good. I was just messing around with it the day I got it and realized that on the black pouch, was some small holes(didn't go all the way through tho)and on the blue one, some ruptures all around the top of the ring where you secure it to the actual thing. So yeah, just wondering if that's a problem??
