Overview
The Barnett Cobra is a Y-frame slingshot built with a diamond-knurled grip, a padded wrist brace, and a fiber optic sight for aiming. It ships with magnum power bands, a brushed leather pouch, and practice ammo.
Barnett is better known for crossbows, and this Cobra model carries that target-shooting mindset into a slingshot: a sight for aiming rather than instinct shooting, plus a wrist brace to steady the draw. The listing title references King Rat alongside Cobra, but the spec sheet is Cobra-specific.
- Fiber optic sight for aiming
- Padded wrist brace for a steady draw
- Magnum power bands with brushed leather pouch
- Includes practice ammo, from Barnett, a crossbow maker since 1962
Who it's for
Fits adults or older kids who want to build actual target accuracy rather than just play catch with a slingshot. Not aimed at very young children given the wrist brace and stronger magnum bands.
Pros and cons
- Fiber optic sight for aiming
- Padded wrist brace steadies the draw
- Magnum power bands and leather pouch included
- Includes practice ammo to start shooting right away
- Stronger bands and brace make it less suited to young kids
Performance notes
The fiber optic sight is meant to give a visible aim point rather than relying on instinct alone, and the padded wrist brace is there to keep the draw hand steady under the pull of the magnum bands. The diamond-knurled grip adds a firmer hold during the shot.
