Good Points
Contoured grip makes this slingshot very easy to hold on to.
Bad Points
Band ripped easily. Wrist support locks gets worn out very quickly.
General Comments
The Marksman 3040 is very comfortable and provides a great grip because of the contouring. The band started to rip after 5 days of use, the company that I bought this from gave me a replacement band and that has been working for over a month now, so may be the first band was defective. The wrist support locks are two bumps that extend from the handle, when you push the wrist support over them it is locked in place, the bumps get smaller and smaller from friction and the lock get less steady and less steady until it doesn't lock at all. The wrist support is made out of flimsy rubber, I prefer foam because it provides better support. It really would have been nice if they used tapered bands, but it shoots very well any ways. Overall this is a very good slingshot.
