hi and welcome to the latest video, i have done a video on this subject before but quite a long time ago!
as time gos on and techniques change i thought id bring you a complete updated guide of how i tie my ott band sets.
this is by no means the be all and end all of all tutorials as everyone does it differently but this is how i do mine and it works for me and could work for you too!
if you have any questions then please feel free to drop me a comment!
cheers

What a genius you are, no need to buy a jig to tie your pouch, just use your legs. Clever!! I'm a new starter in catapults and would give it a go with making my own bands. Thank you for the lovely tuition. The constrictor knot, you tied it pretty quick, something I'll have to practice, of course. :)

Good work, just a wee suggestion. when marking both ends, best to do this before cutting your bands saves loads of time😊

If your rubber is wet enough it will never burn 😉

What Band size for 16,12 tapper you use?..and for what size of armour?

Hello mate, nifty job. I like your slim, white, slinky bands. I've got loads of 6mm airsoft BBs to use up for targets at 10M. What thickness of the BSB band material would be recommended please?

@keithdighton 4 жыл бұрын

The thinnest thickness bsb do is .45. I'd advise against shooting airsoft bbs aswell as they do not have consistent flight

G'day mate you should invest in some tying ribbon and band jig from dankung makes it a lot easier.

@keithdighton 4 жыл бұрын

My band jig works perfectly for me and I dont like tying ribbon. The way I do it works for me and as I said in the video wont work for everyone and is not the be all and end all video but its simple and for beginners saves sending for lots of stuff from china. This way is not kit intensive and can be done with stuff around the home. Hence why it's called 'beginners guide'. I may do an intermediate one at a later date but chances are that people who already know what they are doing wont watch it
