Hi there where can i get sime theraband 3mm or 1/8" flat sheet? Simpleshot sells pre cut but 6$ a pop is dear after postage across the world in new zealand. Anychance you could tell me a reliable latex tube supplier that doss 9mm or 3/8" tube? As i run four tubes for killing rabbits and extruded tube sucks!!

Thanks for this. I consider you one of the best. A while back I bought a high slingshot from Marco Brunetti. It came to me with multiple non-tapered flat bands. I thought it odd at first. But when I shot it I was on target, and the bands last a very long time. Love your stuff. Keep um coming. Thanks.

Great video man. I am asked that all the time. The active band length is the one that gets me or what elongation I use. No regard to draw length or ammo size. When speed testing I use the max elongation of the elastic. Then divide it by my draw length to give my active length. These bands don't last at all. Usually I will add a 1/2- 1cm to the active band length to add some longevity and it doesn't reduce the speed too much. I just tend to tell folks to stick to one brand and size consistency is accuracy's best friend. I may need to give one of those straight tapers a go. Great stuff man. Stay safe

It's not really that simple though, like he says in the video use at least .45 to have power to hunt, but with the latex that i use .45 won't even get 8mm steels fast enough for me to feel comfortable taking game with, let alone the 8 and 10mm leads or 3/8 steels that i use, .6 is the thinnest i use and some brands .6 isn't even good enough as some are stiffer than others. There is so many variables the only way for a shooter to truly know what's best is to buy a few different ammo sizes, some different brands and thicknesses of latex and a chronograph and test it out, thickness of latex isn't a simple thicker is more powerful with some brands either, i use sumeike quite a lot and the blue .6 is amazing speed and hunting power with a stiff snap, the .65 natural colour sumeike however is really light and stretchy feeling and puts out nowhere near the power that the .6 does in the same brand. Too many variables to possibly compile all the data and lay it out so anybody would bother to read through it.

For hunting? 8mm steel minimum. Thicker bands are for heavier ammo, personally I wouldn't go any thicker than 0.7mm for 9.5mm steel, any thicker should be using no smaller than 11mm steel or 10mm lead. Thicker bands aren't always faster, thicker stronger bands are for heavier ammo.

@Sporek
@Sporek 3 жыл бұрын
Kevin, I woul personally recommend a non aggressive taper like 25-20 rather than straight bands if you looking for longevity. Straight bands have tendency for failure at a random point so you they can hit your face. Even small taper almost guarantees failure at the pouch end, so your face and eyes are safe. I always use safety glasses when shooting a slingshot or an air rifle. Never too careful...
