I'm new to slingshots (my first slingshot should be arriving any day from Simple Shot). In preparation, I've been watching a TON of slingshot related videos over the last several weeks. Hunting videos, slingshot reviews, slingshot tournaments, trick shots, etc) and am absolutely floored that this channel doesn't have more subscribers! It's seriously one of the best slingshot related channels on KZfaq.

*Accelerate quicker. Shoots faster. Fast is a measure of speed. eg 300fps or 120mph. Quick is a measure of distance/time. eg. 0 - 60 2.7sec. or time only eg 0- ? as a reaction time. You're welcome.

New to slingshots got the simple shot scout lt. With general purpose bands now that i cut down a bit and it zooms but i ordered some TBG from simpleshot to make me some bands and try out. My question is what taper should i use to get maximum speed/distance out of 8mm steel? Please help lol

@canvandal4503 3 ай бұрын

Sup Tater! The Scout LT is a great frame! TBG is a tad bit stiffer than Simpleshot black. I would say start with a TBG at a 10-18 taper shooting 8 m. If you’re not getting the speed you want go to a 12 to 20 with the same. I think either of these would work great.

@michaelcurtis8114 Ай бұрын

Is there a difference between OTT and TTF as far as the way the bands are tied at the pouch? I've noticed ( while not tied to the frame) that some bands lay flat with the pouch and some bands are vertical to the flat laying pouch. Does it matter how they are tied? Thanks.

@canvandal4503 Ай бұрын

I prefer to tie them differently. OTT I fold and TTF I roll. Some roll for both.

@michaelvana2457 Жыл бұрын

That is all nice and good but you could have explayned if a bigger or smaller taper affects the projectile and if so, than how. And how big of a taper is better for wich scenario.

@SkywalkFPV 10 ай бұрын

How big is the difference in the different latex brands? I am looking at some Sumekei branded bands, are they any good to recommend and or what can be considered way better or not?!..

How do yk the sizes to measure the taper

@Sagart999 10 ай бұрын

I'm very confused. You said you are using a 6" active band length, and then cut a piece from the roll that was 7" long (to provide extra material for binding). You then cut the bands ACROSS that length of latex, making them 15cm (6") long. Did you forget to turn the latex 90 degrees before cutting? Or did that happen too fast for me to see?

@canvandal4503 10 ай бұрын

😂! You missed the turn, brother! After I cut my piece off, I turned it to get the 7 inches. Great question though.

Hello sir Im new to slingshot, can you please guide me on steel ball and rubber band ratio.I want to use it for squirrel & sparrow hunting, what steel ball mm and what rubber band thickness will be suitable.

@canvandal4503 11 ай бұрын

When it comes to hunting set ups, there are a lot of opinions as to which set up is best. There are a lot of guys that have way more experience as far as hunting that could probably assist you better. Here’s one video and channel that I refer to a lot when it comes to hunting. I hope it helps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qt-clpZhsq2qcok.html

@@fabienlarcher4552 now that’s something! Well, I guess it proves that not all latex is the same. I don’t venture out much with my latex. I predominately use SimpleShot Premium Black. It’s been pretty good for me. SimpleShot also sells SimpleShot premium black in pre-cut bands as well. You might want to try them out I think you’ll like them.

How do you know how much taper you need?

@canvandal4503 4 ай бұрын

Tapers are something you’re gonna have to experiment with. There are a variety of answers that you will get to this question. For target shooting at 10 m I use .5 SimpleShot premium black at a 12 to 20 taper shooting 5/16. It really all depends on what you are shooting, the distance, you’re wanting to shoot, the size ammo, etc. With those questions answered and a couple more, you can determine better what taper to use.

@marctull3596 Жыл бұрын

OK - I think I’m starting to get it - People who watch your vids are “taters” and a slingshot band cut wide to thin is a “taper.” Slingshot designer Jack Koehler recommended “pseudo tapers” on some of his designs. Does that mean that people who pretend to watch your videos are “pseudo taters?” Also, when I was a kid, I used to watch Wild Kingdom w/ Marlin Perkins (now you know how old I am) and this one time Jim (not sure if it was Jim 3.0 or Jim 4.0 - there were a lot of different Jims and they all looked alike) was hunting a tapir, but he wrestled it (hunting was way different back in my day) instead of shooting it w/ a slingshot. So - here’s where I get confused - when hunting a tapir do you recommend tapered or pseudo tapered bands - and also do you serve it w/ taters (the kind you eat) to the taters (dinner guests, all of whom watch your videos)?. Thanks for the clarification!
