I am SO grateful that I found this sport in 2022. I am ADDICTED, because it's FUN, it is like martial arts because it connects mind, body, and soul, and you get to meet people and one of my bucket list events is to attend a slingshot competition, and an airgun competition. I'm new to both sports and I found my people ! Nerdy, musical, fun people !

I totally agree with the closing statement. Decide what your main ammo will be, then try different elastics with it until you find what works best for you. After you found your favorite elastic, you can always shoot heavier or lighter ammo, but you will definitely know what to expect with your main ammo. I would also add try different band rigging options as well and decide what works best for you. I found years ago that shooting against the ties works best for me. It eliminates almost all band slap for me ( regardless of ammo weight ) and increases my band life. But there is a right way and wrong way to shoot against the ties. Simply shooting an over the top slingshot backwards is not the right way. That's just asking for rubber in the face.

There is a pack of rubber slingshot bands for 40$ on eBay… I recognize the rubber they use …I know it from grow up as a kid and I used to find rubber bands that had the greatest power for shooting them… they look like the first one you showed,the gold ..,, except the band I’m talking about has almost a texture like bumpy a little bit… those ones are the best in my opinion…they are like the gold just way thicker

This video was made in 2015 before the latex scene BLEW UP! Theraband was a great option in 2015, but we don't recommend Theraband at all any more. It's a fine elastic, but there are much more effective latex options now. SimpleShot black outperforms Theraband in every category. We would recommend it over Theraband. Regarding Theraband, 0:45 will show the different thicknesses of the Theraband lineup.Gold is by far the most popular, since the others are much thinner.

Can someone discuss using clay ammo? I live in a suburban area and steel is not a good choice here. Besides leaving steel shot scattered about the yard, my occasional wild shot can have serious repercussions as it could go farther due to higher mass. I just got my Scout XT and 1000 clay 5/8” ammo to learn with.
@simpleshot4 жыл бұрын
There is not too much to know about clay ammo except that the ammo mass should be matched to the band you are using. Clay ammo is quite light for its size and shooting it with overpowered bands tends to destroy accuracy, as clay ammo is not perfectly concentric. We would assume you are shooting 3/8" clay ammo rather than the 5/8" you mentioned. If so, any of our flat bands made for 1/4" steel ammo will be ideal for clay ammo.

@simpleshot8 жыл бұрын
+Ethan K. Either are fine, just make certain that the power of the bands is matched to the weight of the rocks. Less speed is generally better for rocks to keep them from veering as badly in flight. Try not to overpower rocks for best accuracy

@pebbleshooter38077 жыл бұрын
A note on shooting rocks: always avoid irregular or jagged rocks, as these will have an erratic trajectory and can cause fork hits. cut bands, or worse. Rounded pebbles from a riverbed or a seaside beach are your best option: look for pebbles with a symmetrical shape, as these will have the best ballistic properties, and can be quite accurate. Like for other types of slingshot ammo, the band set used needs to be calibrated as far as possible to the weight of the pebbles being used. Moreover, the pebble size should not exceed 40% of the fork width available to be on the safe side.

So does Theraband have latex or not? Many thanks.
