ORIGINAL HD Beast 300 to 500 Yd Water Balloon Slingshot/Cannon/Launcher - AUTHENTIC

Won’t shoot balloons 300 yards but will regularly reach 100-150 after some experience. BATTLE Station Setup (Just what I quickly made, not perfect) We drove several braces into the ground with (2) L shaped metal or wood brackets on the outer edges of each brace. We put one bracket pointing up and one pointing down with roughly a 6” space between them to hold each slingshot handle. After mounting the 2 handles around the brackets each sling shot becomes operable by ONE person. The braces were located at three different locations (BATTLE STATIONS!!!) on our property, about 75 - 80 yds apart from each other in a rough triangle shape. So all bases can hit and be hit by all others. The braces also make the slingshots much more consistently accurate obviously, so you can get quite dangerous after some practice. Our large family and friends had a great time all summer, the ages ranged from 8 to 70 years old (Obviously it’s not safe for small children or the elderly to be hit with balloons rocketed from 100 yards away so the younger ones and some elders only participated in launching the balloons while taking protective cover from incoming volleys) My favorite part was seeing my 50-60 yo Dad have fun like he was 12 again. Surprising way to bring family together but I recommend you try before you knock it.****I must express in the most rigorous way to purchase the 30 sec fill and instant seal balloons if you want to save hours of tedious, agonizing balloon filling and tying. You can have 100 balloons filled and tied in 30 secs!!! Genius, but sorta costly as those 100 balloons cost between $7 and $15 depending where you can find them but they‘re worth it INMO. I know 100 balloons sounds like a lot but they go in 15-25 minutes at each station. Once you start it becomes addictive to see how accurate you can get. I know it sounds silly but it’s a great time

I absolutely loved this. I got together with some friends who I go to college with, and we had an amazing time slinging water balloons with the slingshot. We found that it usually takes three people to operate, just like the picture, but you can easily wrap the sides around poles or other sturdy objects. It stretches a lot and it's very durable. We stretched it back as hard as we could and it never broke or gave signs of giving out. I'd say that my friends and I are pretty decently strong, and we got balloons to launch really far away. Also, we slung balloons at each other, and might I suggest protecting anywhere that may be important to you because they can pack a real punch. Great experience and definitely worth the money.

Purchased this product to launch dodgeballs in the air for a lifesize game of angry birds with a group of kids ages 5 to 12. The product worked great and we were able shoot these large balls about 25yards which was what I was going for. There was a learning curve, but it only took about 6 launches to start figuring it out. Boys had tremendous amount of fun. Agree that there needs to be atleast one adult helping and two adults holding the sling was best and safest. The younger kids could even do it. I minused one star because we tried to use it as a water balloon launcher next with the 300 balloons that came with and the balloons were a fail in my opinion. It seemed like half of them had pin size holes in them or they broke when we tried to stretch the opening to fill them up. They came with no hose nozzle so we tried old school to stretch them over faucet end. They would not stretch! Make sure you buy water balloons separate from what comes with this product!

This launcher is so much fun and built with high quality tubing to last for a long time!! I have had other launchers over the years that work well in the beginning, but brake quickly, or do not launch very far because the tubing is cheaply made. The bag of balloons the product initially shipped with were too thin, but without my prompting the company sent an email and offered to send me a pack of higher quality balloons. It is important the balloons are not too thin or they will brake when firing, and not too thick otherwise they will impact like a brick ;-) Whether you are firing at boats on a lake (with biodegradable balloons), or in town with friends, this launcher is incredibly fun :-)

The product has been so poorly made that it will instantly pop the balloons you try to launch. Only a splash of water and ripped latex will fly out.There are two tubes in the pocket for the balloon that should prevent the balloon from being squished. However, after ordering two and then receiving two replacements, I’ve found that they’re all poorly made. The tubes shift out of the pocket and, when that happens, destroy the balloon before you can even launch it.I have tried stitching it to fix myself, but it is still frustrating how many balloons don’t even get a chance to go airborne.I now have to choose which two busted launchers to ship back on my return, and which two busted launchers to stare at as I old-school throw balloons like a moron.This shouldn’t be called “The Beast,” but should, instead, be called “The Waste.”So disappointed after buying two years ago that were perfect until the tubing got rotted by sitting in the sun.
