How Latex Thickness Affects Your Slingshot Speed | Simple Shot Axiom X

After messing around with slingshots for nearly 5 years, I’ve always wondered how much the gauge of latex (it’s thickness) affects your shot speed. Will shooting with different band thicknesses make me more accurate? Or will it have little to no affect on anything at all?
In order to answer these questions (or attempt to do so), I decided to run a little experiment. After building a new slingshot ammo catch box, I cut 6 different band sets of 6 different latex gauges shooting 3 different ammo sizes with each one. Once I finished analyzing the results, I was ready to share my thoughts on this (hopefully) exciting experiment!

This must have taken ages. Your ammo to band thickness comparison is definitely along the right lines.

Enjoyed your vid and welcome to the addiction, it only gets worse. For a slingshot to be such a simple seeming piece of kit it sure gets complicated fast. Next experiment might be tapers. Not sure but taper might be a bigger factor on speed than thickness, depending on ammo weight of course. Some of this new latex loves to be stretched, I am currently shooting sniper sling yellow and I know it blows right on by 500%, simple shot black will too. Anyway good luck in your journey and I am looking forward to future videos.

With 8 mm steel I prefer 0,55 mm purple band cut out of gymnastic bands, after spending hundreds of Euros for special slingshot bands. Only in winter time I use sometimes "anti-cold bands" but only when hunting fir cones in the woods. I am into slingshots around 50 years now. So many bands to try in this time, and so many money to spend on these. We were lucky, when theraband gold came out and that was all we need, when going out and hunt. So the bands I use now are about 6 Euros for 3 meters ... that is a good price here. A slingshot seller is asking Euro 18 for 2 meters of the same band. So go out, try some cheap gymnastic bands...maybe you have fun with testing and save money!

@@dennismccolley1380 Oh, I like my slings. And when all these new bands came out ... as a "wonder-band", best of best ... I had to try them. Some did not perform as good as the good old theraband gold...some where better for sure. But after all these bands (and all the money spent) I found "my band". It is lasting long...and I know no other band with this extensibility. It is not as fast as some others, but I am used to it now. It is good enough to hunt can´s 30 meters away. Consistancy is key - so if you find a band you like - stick to it and do not change too much. Everyone can change band characteristic by changing length, with and taper ... spending so much money is unnecessary for sure. But if there are buyers, the market will serve them. And I was in the experimental phase - now I am shooting a cheap, but good band. I spend a lot of money, but found what supports my shooting style. And in my case...it is not a special band...

With decent bands tuned up you should be seeing at least 250fps using 8mm steel when you start going really powerful and max the bands out you get a lot less shots per band great video bro keep up the slingshot shooting

Try changing taper widths. I took some 1mm latex and they were tapered 24 to 12, and I had a new slingshot; pocket sized; so I cut one band down the middle which made for pretty thin bands, but they shoot really fast with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch steel. So not only does thickness matter, and taper, but also band width. Please do a video if you could. I subscribed and liked :)... Take care!!!!!

I just acquired a variety of different thickness bandsets and I have access to all different sized steel ball bearings due to being a mechanic and I've been enjoying 5.56 steel balls with light bandsets pulling full butterfly. I'm not sure of the thickness bands at the moment, I'll mic em when I get to the shop

If you trim 1/4-1/2 inch off the two legs on one side and drill a hole in the bottom of your catch you can have an auto collection system. Use a coat hanger to hang a coffee can or soup can under the hole. Similar to a grease catch under a bbq grill…. Your welcome.

Every hand is a bit different, but I've found the Simple Shot Sparrow to be the most comfortable to hold for my hands and the Seljan Cleaver Pro to be the most consistent and accurate. But you also wouldn't go wrong with the Simple Shot Torque or the Scout XT. It all comes down to budget and if you shoot OTT or TTF.

Hi my name is Robert Bussiere I live in Ontoagon MI, You got lucky to get the material to build that catch box for 108.00! For me to build the same catch box, It would cost me 8.00 for 1 2x4 x 5=40.00, 1 sheet of plywood would cost me 179.98 x2 = 359.96, 2 pieces of dowelling 8.00 each x 2 = 16.00 for me to build the same catch box it will cost me 415.96

Slingshot bands in the modern era are often cut at taper and in millimeters. So it should read 20mm at the fork; 14mm at pouch; 270mm long. The thickness of the band is .60 of a millimeter thick.
