Never had a wrist rocket but did have a Whamo oak slingshot in the mid 60's. Looks like the pic below. Found it when I was going thru my Dad's stuff after he passed. Perhaps a new set of rubbers are in order!

Go for it!

My Dad was pretty smart, and never let me or my brother have one. We had neighbors on all sides and they all had my parents on speed dial so were in enough trouble without a sling shot.

My childhood best friend had one and a pellet gun. His house backed up to a woods, and he had targets mounted on the fence backing up to the woods. We'd trade back and forth between the pellet gun and the sling shot. It was great fun.

yup
