Pro-X™

(show customer reviews)

$69.95

The Pro-X™ is a long range predator. At the top of the food chain this long distance slingshot delivers a high energy wallop when others fall far short then folds into its own smooth shell. Recommended ammo is 44 caliber steel and Clod-Poppers. **Please note that the high-powered slingshot Stryker™ flat bands are too thick to be used with the Pipper™ sight.  Stryker bands are NOT recommended for use with the long draw Pro-X™ due to pouch failure.

 

Description

Saunders introduced the world’s first wrist-braced slingshot in 1954…the Wrist-Rocket®. Today our fastest and hardest hitting long-range slingshot is the Pro-X.  Loaded with formidable features this superbly crafted precision shooting machine has no equal in the field or on the range. For extra speed and accuracy we use a patented super light, self-centering pouch and patented twin power bands. The bands have a unique double taper for exceptional speed and durable. Should the power need adjusting or bands need replacing our patented band lock system makes it quick and easy.  This is one fast, smooth, heavy-duty slingshot that packs a big punch yet folds away into a stealthy shell, ready to stow away or hang on a wall. Comes with wrist tether, Black-Mambabands and ammo gauge.  Available options: Pipper™ fiber optic sight, Counter Balance Stabilizer and Spin-Trap™ Target. Recommended ammo is 44 caliber steel and Clod-Poppers clay. Saunders’ Pro-X™ long-range slingshot weighs 526 grams. Made in the U.S.A.

    Bought this one and Wing about 2 years ago. Don’t have much time to practice. I hold them in hands once in a while. These are really well made. Thick materials will last for a long time. I like it ?!

    I shot one of these at the Strickland Archery Adventure NASP Youth Challenge on the Sportsman’s Channel back in 2011. Awesome slingshot. And I’m sure it’s even better now. Planning on buying one soon. Absolutely loved them.

    I purchased the Pro-X almost six months ago after reading about it in Slingshot World Magazine. After an initial issue I experienced upon receipt of my order, I was blown away with how quickly Saunders was to, not only respond to my frustrated emails, but how fast they were to make things right. Now that I have had the time to shoot the Pro-X a while, I believe I can give it an accurate customer review. I own like 30-40 other catapults and I think the Pro-X best resembles a “star-craft” style shooter. I instantly fell in love upon first shots. I grew up in the Boy Scouts of America, shooting archery long before ever taking a slingshot seriously. However, once I discovered the true marksmanship qualities in catapults, I also realized my childhood archery fundamentals drastically minimized any learning curves related to achieving consistency and accuracy when shooting slingshots. That being said, shooting the Pro-X feels closest to a bow’s shot routine, compared to all my other frames. It makes shooting heavy caliber ammo/bands comfortable, REPEATABLE, and most importantly accurate, especially at longer distances. Don’t get me wrong, I’m capable of shooting some heavy .80 anit-cold bands and 1/2″ steel with a Scout from SimpleShot, but I would have never expected to put a grouping on target at 30 – 40 meters. That’s right, accuracy with 7/16″-1/2″ steel at that distance is achievable with the Pro-X! That is where this masterpiece shines. Everything else: The way the Pro-X folds up makes it more portable than any other of its size/caliber. The hard pouch design is revolutionary, in my opinion, allowing just about anyone to pick it up a shoot without having to worry about the perfect pouch release that plagues many new shooters. The fiber optics “Pipper Sight” puts any other attempts at a slingshot sight system to shame with how bright the military grade fiber optics are to how useful the little liquid level is for newer shooters. I love how versatile it is by having the ability to configure the sight on either fork tip depending on the distance of target. Having the ability and knowledge to tune the Pro-X to hit a target like 60 meters away really separates it from any competition. The Clod Poppers I got with my order are awesome, they are the same size as any 7/16″ steel ammo I shoot and unlike some other clay ammo brands I’ve tried, the Clod Poppers I received were all the same size and they were all perfectly round! I even found that their weight were all within 0.1-0.2 grams (1.45g – 1.65g with MOST right around 1.60g) which allows for repeatable results.

    The only negatives I’ve experienced so far
    (A) With the Pipper Sight installed, the Pro-X won’t fully collapse. The little level is in the way from allowing the arm to click into it’s closed position.
    (B) Latex wears out no matter what, and I find a correlation that seems to follow the rule: the more fun you’re having, the faster they wear! With the Pro-X, Specialty band sets are required for replacement and being a shooter who cuts and makes his own replacement band sets, this is frustrating.

    In conclusion, don’t buy this if you want to shoot indoors or even in tight-quarter backyard spaces. The Pro-X is DEFINITELY not a 1/4″ steel “plinker”. This tool provides power and accuracy at distances that can’t be touched by any other catapult, In my opinion, and should be used as such. I felt good doing business with Saunders, a family business, knowing that my Pro-X was made in the USA. If you are on the fence about buying, rest assured you will be getting a quality product that comes with even better customer service.

    Thanks again Chuck, for the awesome Saunders experience!

    Amazing product and beyond belief sevice!!!!!!

    This is my second order. I have my original from years ago and buying a second one for a family member. The forearm gives stability and aiming is easy. Great for beginners and advanced!!

    Stacey was a miracle worker. I did not see the last sentence for the advanced sight so she edited the order of Stryker bands to mamba within minutes of the order. Also I was ordering on my phone and glitched out with double the order. With a quick ask she returned my money and gave me no hassle or stress.

    Absolutely amazing to have her manage all this at this present time. If anyone is interested in purchasing PLEASE consider ordering from the source. Amazon will never be this fast with customer care and I love working directly with these guys

  • Setting Flat-band Power

    We go about flat-band power settings differently from the rest of the industry. What we use is percentage of stack. Stack is the length at which the bands can no longer stretch. At anchor we like about 70% to 80 % of stack. In rough terms this means stack would happen about 3 to 5 inches past your anchor point. Shooting in this range generally gives one the best of both accuracy and longevity but it can be a little fickle. Sometimes this sweet spot varies with the slingshot model and ammo so we recommend experimenting. You may find your ideal power setting is 65% or 75% or it may be related to the model your shooting. The bottom line is to trust your instincts and you will know when the bands are just right.
