Good Points: Handle is comfortable-wrist brace doesn't slap your arm. Lots of adjustment.
Bad Points: The bands used by Daisy are among the worst of the brand name makers. They stack rather heavily and I cannot get a full draw at my 29" draw length. The pouch is too big.
General comments: Daisy Chinese Made Slinghots are decent. The handles are fine and the quality of the metal is also above average. Daisy's biggest problem is the power bands-they have a terrible stacking problem and (I own several of these slings-including that one that had one fork shorter than the other) when I try to reach my 29" anchor, the bands actually stop stretching before that point. If you replace the bands with say TRUMARK or Marksman Bands, these are good slingshots.
The current rage are these adjustable "power" slings where you can slide the forks out past the handle. I don't do that because 1) I have a plenty long draw and the slingshots-with lead musket balls will kill the stuff I shoot with them easily and secondly 2) because your torque factor increases. its like an overdraw on a target compound bow-it magnifies errors in form,
I also prefer a horseshoe type fork over the V that these slings use but that is personal preference. I find the most accurate slings have the forks similar to the Marksman or the Barnett Black Widow.
All in all Daisys are OK-they need better rubber

Okay, before I start:
Rubber thingie = The thing you pull
Metal thingie = Main metal frame
Well, all that I need to say is the
Daisy P51 is a great starters sling shot, I brought it nearly three years ago, and it worked like magic. I couldn't believe my luck owning this awesome, great looking, and great feeling piece of machinery.
After about 500 shots of smooth, round pebbles, the rubber thingie started to tear, and I thought this was because I was too rough with it. So risking the ...

Over all for a first time buyer of a slingshot the Daisy P51 is a good choice.

I got the Daisy P51 wrist brased model, and when I first saw it I liked it. I do feel though that it is hard to use if you have big hands and if you want to move it up or down you need a tool.

I have a "chrony" to check speed and have not found one commerical made slingshot that I like real well, especially for target shooting. This slingshot however feels good, especially for the price. I put my own bands on to improve speed with .4375 dia. balls.
