mr black's review of Barnet Pro Diablo

“The first slingshot I owned was a Barnett Black Widow....”

★★★★★

written by mr black on 16/12/2003

Good Points
Amazing accuracy, incredible power, ergonomic grips, and aesthetic beauty make this my favourite slingshot from the combined Barnett and Crosman ranges. Also it is, like all slingshots, amazing value for money (£25)

Bad Points
A useless sight is provided, but this is easily removed

General Comments
The first slingshot I owned was a Barnett Black Widow. Don't get me wrong, this was a great slingshot with no bad points I can think of, but I just wanted something more large and fearsome when I saw the rest of the Barnett range and saw what else was on offer.

The Diablo is just breathtaking. It's pistol grips just cling to your hand, making you feel a lot more secure in firing such a beast of destruction. Am I the first in saying the miniscule size of the black widow made me feel just a bit paranoid that the thing was going to snap or slip under the huge force the power band allows you to exert? (It never did, btw!)

Anyhow, I'd like to close by saying three words- "BUY THIS SLINGSHOT!"

Value For Money

I have a Black Widow. Is it worth buying the Pro Diablo? I'm not too worried about the looks, but I can't seem to get good accuracy with my BW. Does the Diablo really improve accuracy that much or is it just a pretty face?

I don't think the black widow felt puny at all. I had the MK1 which and i don't now what you had but mine is amazing. had it about 4 years and the only thing that has snapped is the elastic! I shot a pigeon the other day with my BW. Stone almost went straight through. If that's puny i hate to see what you call large!!!!
