Bam Launcher- 200 Yard 3 Person Water Balloon Launcher SlingshotFree Balloons Included

It's practically winter in Minnesota so I haven't been able to use this product to launch water balloons, but this launcher was perfect for flinging mini pumpkins. A couple weeks ago we threw a Halloween party at my house. To try something a bit different, I decided to buy this product to launch mini pumpkins. It was all young adults participating in this activity and we were launching them at a range around 50-150 yards into a field. With a water balloon, I could easily see how you could launch 200+ yards. Prior to this purchase, I owned a different water balloon launcher, but the handles ripped. The material used for this one seem very strong and I love that it came with a little bag/pouch to store it in.

The water balloon slingshot works wonderfully. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it does not shoot 200 yards as advertised, I would say the range reaches its maximum at about 150 yards. I am also a little concerned about the quality of the pouch that holds the water balloon for firing. After a few weeks of fairly heavy use it has started to fray and come apart at the seams slightly. It is not that bad, but it is noticeable and makes me wonder about long term durability. The handles scrunch up after a period of heavy use (they are squeezed by the tubes) however, this is easy to set right again, and does not hinder performance. This slingshot has provided hours of fun, and although there are some quality issues at this price it is well worth the money. I would recommend this product.

We used this for a project where kids launched things and measured how close they were to a target. It worked just OKAY.I'm a big dude, 6'2", 230lbs, and I could not get it anywhere near 200 yards. I thought for certain it was going to snap. It MAYBE goes 100 yards, but that's being generous.All-in-all, it got the job done and the kids in our program had a blast with it. I'm sure though that if they knew it was supposed to go 4x further, they would be disappointed.

I like this product, but I would change two minor things. The pocket needs to be slightly deeper or maybe wider. Difficult to stop even a small water balloon from falling out while you are pulling it back to fire and aim. It's possible I just need more practice with it. Second item, the water balloons that come with it are useless. They pop almost every time you fire, even if you way under fill them and try to shoot very short range. Obviously this is an easy fix. Order different balloons with it.

I don't know who likes this more - the adults or the kids!! It does not shoot 200 yards but at least 100. That's plenty though! You have to know how to hold it properly to get the most distance but it's kind of hard how to explain here. The 2 people holding it should stand about 3' apart & stretch it way up, almost over your shoulder. You want a far (long) stretch. The person shooting should definitely sit in the ground. I can't imagine how you would do it w/o sitting.So much fun!!!!!!

Nice water balloon launcher. I'm not sure it will actually shoot 200 yards, but it still sends a balloon far. Feels well made and I like that it comes with a carrying case to contain the large rubber bands. The only thing I don't love is the handles. The way the bands are looped around the handles tends to tighten and squish when putting the launcher back. Makes me nervous that will be a week point for the rubber bands.

Works very well. We did have to sew some of the stitching on the pouch, as every time you shot something, the plastic stiffener in the pouch would slide out. While we have used it for the church youth group with water balloons, we mostly use it to shoot apples to the cows next door, with the farmers permission of course. Fun for everyone.

Great product. We attached these to two solid poles. The kindergarten thru 3rd grades had a blast aiming tennis balls at plywood zombies. The launch tab that you pull back on is useless. We had the kids put the tennis ball in the pouch and then squeeze the ball and pull back on the slingshot. Worked great! You can also launch small water balloons greatly also!.
