Bunch O Balloons Water Balloons - ZURU Slingshot Multicolor, 100 Balloons

At the family reunion, I purchased four of these for my nephews and nieces. They informed me that they did not function properly. I told them they were doing it wrong, so I grabbed one and filled it up with a normal size water balloon with a diameter of 6". and told our country's youth that they were doing it wrong. "Mistake No. 1" is a phrase that can be used to describe So I proceeded to pull the bow back at a 45 degree angle, telling them they couldn't shoot it straight because the balloon would fall out ("that was the biggest complaint"), then I told them they weren't pulling it back far enough ("mistake 2"), so I have a 33inch draw on a compound bow. As a result, I took a step back and told them how to do it. I am releasing "mistake 3. " I had apparently pulled it back so far that when I released it, the bag that held the water balloon was so tight around the balloon that it shot forward hard but did not release the water balloon, so when the rubber bands came back, the water balloon smacked me in the face. I was reminded of the lady who was attempting to film a watermelon cannon video. My sunglasses were blown off, leaving me confused and disoriented. All I could hear was the laughter of seven children. which then proceeded to throw "what felt like" hundreds of water balloons at me, which I filled up individually for them to play with, because I had somehow gotten caught up in the water war without realizing it. By shooting a water balloon 20 yards and tagging one of the minions, my brother was able to accomplish his goal.

It looks more like a bow than a slingshot, making it more difficult for kids to use. Adults will find it "tricky" until they figure out how to do it the right way. br>br>Loading the balloon pouch without it falling to the ground is difficult. The pouch is nothing more than a square of fabric folded into a "C" shape with a pull-back handle. The balloon isn't held in place by the bottom. Otherwise, the balloon will fall out if it is loaded while pointing vertically, straight up to the sky. The balloon will only stay in place if you pull it back, causing compression. The pouch pinches the balloon to keep it in place, allowing you to aim the bow horizontally. My best shot was only about 25 yards away. It's only 30 yards, so it's unlikely to be very effective unless you have a very weak throwing arm.

I'm sorry to burst your water balloon, but this was a bust. We bought it for an end-of-the-year event where the parents bombard the kids with water balloons. The adults in the neighborhood couldn't figure it out, and the kids didn't even try.

This is a terrible product that does not work! Balloons either burst before they even leave the sling, or if they don't, they don't travel very far. Despite the fact that I have a terrible pitch, I chose to throw the balloons rather than use this device. Everyone else who attempted to use it had the same problem.

He prefers to play with it indoors as part of his normal routine, so it wasn't a complete waste of money, but he doesn't trust himself to use it as intended. The balloons are a great investment, as they always are, but the slingshot isn't so much.

I've experimented with a few different bunching techniques. Continue to return until a better filling option is developed for balloon products. 1 - To pair it with a bow The slingshot package for one person is fantastic. The "slingshot" is more akin to a bow, and stretching it out takes some time. It was a lot of fun! It may not be as good at shooting water balloons as the three-person slingshot, but after breaking it in, I was able to get over 100' with it.

The finished product appeared to be fantastic. It worked fine until the sling shot pocket became saturated with water, at which point the sling shot became jumbled and no longer fired the balloons. They'd flap and fall out the side, which was a waste of time.

This is a balloon-filled plastic sling shot. $29. 00 is a waste of money. 99br>Perhaps $19. The slingshot was cracked when we opened it.
