Trumark Fiber Optic Slingshots

[slingshot1952]

Have any of you good folks had any experience with these? I can't imagine those sights helping that much, but hey, I've been wrong before. Thanks. :)

Hi Slingshot1952,I have a Trumark with the fiber optics but I never used them.I use the outside of the prong as a sight.I do know a very good tournament shooter that uses them and he is a deadly shot.He rigs his differently.He has it on the outside of the forks on an angle marked for varying distances.Everything takes time to get used to.Give them some time.You may like them!

When "aiming" as opposed to "instinctive" shooting, I would think the fiber optic sights on the Trumark would help a lot. I find aiming my Trumark with fiber optic sights quick and easy due to having the extra "reference points". In addition to the sights, you can see when you're pulling it back correctly by viewing how the "bulbs" at the ends of the sights line up. Perhaps the first few shots are slightly off, but once I find where to line up the sights in relation to the bullseye, it's very accurate. I'm not an experienced shooter, and I don't practice much, but I find that when shooting the Trumark at ten meters, I'm almost always within an inch or two of the bullseye, if not on it.

The following article reviews many slingshots. Read the review of the Trumark for better information than I can provide!
