My cousins and I have been using this launcher for a few months now. Considering we are all 18+ we strain this launcher far more than most children would, yet it remains durable and repeatable.

Shooting water balloons long distances with accuracy and precision is a breeze. The advertised range is 150-175 yards, I forget which exactly, but I can assure you with proper windage it's far beyond such.

Also, the ballistics of firing objects besides water balloons is impressive. Fruit, tennis balls, and other objects fly as if it were designed for them. However, one needs to remember the destructive capabilities and shoot responsibly.

For $20, it's hard to spend money that would be more entertaining. As long as you stay out of trouble and shoot safely, this launcher will provide hours and hours... and hours of fun. 5 stars

The sling shot is fun to shoot at different things.
It worked very well to keep the neighbors dog out of my flowers,
and away from my dog when they are in heat. It works good for
cats also but they are smaller and faster and are a challenge to hit. One thing you never want to do is put ammonia in a balloon and try to shoot it. It could explode in your face
because i think ammonia melts rubber. This thing is Great 5 stars

This thing is cool and shoots really far. great for summer fun
and at colleges and football games. I use it to keep dogs off my lawn,but do not put ammonia in your balloons. It could backfire. 5 stars

I bought this slingshot with the intentions of using it for my elementary physical education classes. It is perfect for that! Goes super far.. maybe even further than it says. The balloons that come with it are great... just don't overfill them or they will pop before they fly! Would be 5 stars if the denim part didn't bunch up after a few shots. 4 stars

This balloon launcher is a blast. With a three person launch team, we launched balloons 100 yards+. With one launcher, you really have to have some muscle. My only concern is durability. After two sessions of what I consider to be average usage (launching approx 50-75 balloons total), the tubing is already starting to crack. Remains to be seen how long it will last. But the launcher is a good value and loads of fun. 4 stars
