The Wrist-rocket has been around for decades now, but no one has yet improved on it. It's cheap. It's powerful. What more could you want?Customer Review: Humane tulip protection

This is the safe way to discourage deer from eating tulips and every
flower in your gardens by using small stones as ammo.

Slingshots are cool. This one has an excellent design, since you can slip your hand through it and brace the rubber pad solidly against your forearm to provide stability when pulling the sling back. This also makes it much easier to aim and gives you greater range. I use mine to shoot at squirrels and deer coming into my yard and causing damage - though I don't get too many shots off at the deer because a) they usually only come out a night and b) they bolt the second they hear anything amiss, like me sliding the door to my deck open. The squirrels are a different story though. They think once they are up in a tree they're safe, so they tend to sit there, just daring me to do something about it. It only takes me whizzing a few ball bearings or marbles in their direction to get them off and running as fast as their little rodent legs can carry them.
I'm not a very good shot, probably having hit my intended target at 25 yards (or so) maybe once or twice out of a couple of hundred shots. I suppose with practice I'd get better, but I'm not that worried about it. At that range, you're not talking about a lethal shot, which isn't my intent anyway. I just want to scare them off, even though I know they'll be back a few minutes later. Why this is entertaining to me, I don't know, it just is. I suppose I could just let the dog stay out in the yard more to take care of deer and squirrel duty, but she lacks opposable thumbs and doesn't understand the concept of slingshots either, so she's not going to have as much fun as me.
I haven't tried shooting small rocks yet, out of concern that the rocks might eventually damage the sling, but now that I'm running out of the ball bearings and marbles I originally bought with the wrist rocket, I'll probably start doing that anyway. I had a bumper crop of acorns this year too, so maybe I'll give them a try as well. In any case, it looks like you can buy a replacement sling or two, or for that matter, at eight dollars a pop, I could probably just get another wrist rocket if I really needed to.
All in all a nice little sling shot to give to your kid or play with yourself.

This fires true every time. Great for scaring away seagulls. I don't hurt the birds, i just load a small green tomato in it and fire over their heads, but they get the message. Now I don't have to clean up all the seagull dung on my docks.
