Slingshots Advance Design to New Highs
Barnett slingshots took a couple of big steps forward in design with the Black Widow combining a longer power stroke with a wrist brace that increased leverage and also folded into the slingshot for compact carry. They have taken it another step with the advanced Diablo model delivering more precision and power with magnum bands and an extra-sturdy wrist brace that detaches for compact packing. The even more advanced Cobra’s unique front stabilizer and sighting system make it easy to keep that magnum power on target with a longer detachable brace. Barnett’s most advanced slingshot, the Pro Diablo, has magnum power bands, three weighted stabilizers that dampen vibration for smoother shooting, and an adjustable sight for pinpoint accuracy. The Cobra and both Diablo models have contoured soft-touch grips and come with instructional shooting guides. Target ammo also included with the Cobra. MSRP from $13.99 to $29.99.

Bond Arms Grizzly single-action, double-barrel pistols come chambered for .45 Long Colt cartridges and .410 shotshells. Since the frame is compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels, dozens of custom cartridge and barrel combinations are possible. Premium features include stainless-steel barrels and frame, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer. To keep the price down, Bond Arms uses the same stainless-steel materials for Grizzly, Rowdy and Roughneck series handguns. To further reduce cost, these pistols undergo minimal cleanup with enough deburring to ensure no sharp edges. A bead-blasted finish replaces the polished finish on higher-priced guns. Leaving visible lines in the metal frame and trigger guard and swirly tool marks on the 3-inch barrels gives each pistol unique character. Rosewood grips are engraved with grizzly bear artwork; a Bond Arms logo and checkered panel add texture to the extended grip. Matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear. Overall length 5 inches; weight 20 ounces. MSRP $377. For more information, phone: (817) 573-4445 or go online at: www.bondarms.com
