Making Slingshot Bands. Hunting Bands. Q & A 

Awesomeness, a hungting master ,gee!

I made a badass section of table for bandset build and tying that is removable from my workbench that folds up and tucks into my "weapons satchel" if need be. I was having such a good time making custom bandsets and badass double layered multi-type leather pouches for my current ammo situation which is 5mm bearings, 10mm bearings, .50cal ½" big steel balls, marbles, and real neat plastic beads id say about 9mm with a hole thru the center for kids to make necklaces from the craft shop, whats cool is due to that hole thru the center they make a intimidatingly horrific whistle type sound while in flight. They sound like the sound XF that would be used for a bow n arrow released by a marvel character.. wicked as hell sounding I thing and they fly true and fast with relatively light bands. Anyway I made 2 versions of each bandset one short anchor point draw, and one half butterfly long pull... About to go outside in a bit to raise war against some unsuspecting cans, bottles and whatever else gives me funny looks or any type backtalk lol

First and foremost, Chris, congratulations on the new addition! Thanks for the video, lots of good information in here. I have a house rented for next summer in Ireland for a month on the west coast. Would be great to take you out for a pint if you have a little time and learn a bit more from you.

Thanks for the information and congratulations on your new addition

Thanks Chris very well presented and very informative, congratulations on your new born. 👍

I’m loving your videos! Your do passionate about your sport so much knowledge it’s really inspired me to have a go! I love how technical it is. Fantastic

Many thanks very informative and I've learned a lot from this as a newbie to slingshots I soon realised there's a lot more too it lol...

Thanks Chris for the information. You are a fine shot. Keep them coming for I enjoy your videos! Jack

Brilliant Video Chris lot to catapult hunting when l was a kid hardest thing was looking for wood to use. Going to get back into it. Your a amazing shot mate

Bags ontop of the washing machine same in my house congrats on the baby .... u got me into sling shots it's not easy to get use to I'm taken all the advice on board but hitting low an the target u use a resin sling shot an shoot 8m balls with 18 to 12 an .80 big draw but alot of practice

My friend you have helped me a lot with this video🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Love your videos . And yes the catch and cooks are awesome.

Congratulations on your new baby girl!

Slip a constrictor knot of cord over the pouch before you secure the pouch in the jig, then tighten it on the band. No need to make knots awkwardly, going around and around.😊

It's like you're telepathic or something - I've just taken delivery of my first jig and band material (GZK green 0.62 of course) and was going to start cutting this afternoon. Top notch vid as always, Chris. Keep up the great work, sir! 👏

congratulations Chris and to your wife, ps great video, as usual, i love to watch them

Congrats on the little one mate!

Following your lead👍 Although I try to stick to my own basics but allways improve with your shared info thanks!

My god amazing exactly what i was looking for thanks mate

Chris, I'm in the u.s and I'm shooting a scout xt and a scout lt. 32 inch draw. As you have stated in previous video, I would like to shoot the same .66 gzk latex and modify band ratio based on projectile size 3/8, 7/16, or 1/2. Any basic information or where to look? Great videos and lots of good,well thought out shared information. Keep it up!!!!

Thanks for sharing knowledge on all this fella. Rolling 'other kinds of cigarettes' no idea what you mean' ;-)

Congrats on your baby!

Hi Chris, Have you ever tried Simple shot black? It's great latex, I use GZK .7 and Thera band gold, and simple shot black .7. I think from my own experience that Thera band gold and Simple shot black have far better elasticity than GZK. What are your thoughts on this?

Brilliant video as per usual Chris. Everything explained in great detail. Congratulations on your baby 👌👌 Mate

Excellent video as always Chris. Congrats

Like i said mate banging Jig ... easy and cheap and does the job well if you have dexterous enough fingers lol ......... great video mate

Thanks! Very informative!

Hi I am an Italian boy passionate about slingshot, you are a, big, I use the Hammer TTF GZK with the 0.66 GZK Green elastic band I have a 800mm arm opening, you can give me an advice on the measures of the bands to use for hunting and shooting to the target, thanks greetings.

When you cut tapers when cut can they be mixed up when cut ❤

Great shooting.. ferret thought he was going hunting lol

Just a tip for you if you wanna sharpen them is snippers cut little strips of tinfoil this helps sharpening them

Can you get fiskers rotary cutters with titanium blades over there where you are? If so buy one the blades are lazer sharp and stay sharp for one hell of a long time!

what is the name of this frame what do you cut this rubber

Nice slingshot that one is Chris I will try and make that one wish me look

Hello, what is the name of this cutting ruler?

What are the measurements you use to cut your garters and what caliber is the garter?

"The more time your balls accelerate" food for thought lads..

Congratulations on the baby girl.

Excellent shooting! Are you using a point on your fork to aim, or just instinct aiming?

Hi, I want to start shooting butterfly , i now shoot 7 1/2 tapered 1 inch to 3/4 and shoot 3/8 ammo 30 inch draw , what length of bands do I need

I shoot 1/2 inch stainless steel slingshot ammo that weighs 8.51 grams. And I make my bands 32 mm tapered down to 19 mm and my bands are 1mm thick. And I find that's a really good combination for hunting bands.

I have a draw of 93cm and want to shoot 9.5mm or 1/4oz lead. What size, taper and thickness of band would you reccomend?

Hi Chris! What size is the board you use to cut the elastic? I wanted to buy it online but I don't know what size to select (on aliexpres)

With the .66 using 8mm but could you still use 3/8

I use a cheep Freehawk tubular catapult off Amazon and it shoots great but i dont know exactly how fast my projectiles are going (.451&9mm) have thought about converting it to flatbands. 👍 thank you.

Where can I find those green Ott band sets from you Chris?

I'm still new in this catapult hobby. What's the ideal ammo to shoot with 0.66 GZK band?

Would gzk .72 be ok for 8 mm lead weighing about 3 grams and what taper would you recommend

Ha green is my favorite color as well.

Please, what is the thickness of the rubber,or didn't said or I passed it

What cut would you use for 7mm steel? And can you hunt with 7mm? I've not seen any one talk about 7mm

I’ve been using these green gzk bands and they keep snapping at the pouch, am I doing something wrong?

can i go hunting on Birds with a green gzk 62mm thik, banset and does she going down on a body hit ? if i cut the tapes just like you in your video

I need that stencil for tapered bands.. Where you get it from mate

What taper you cut on this Precise 0.7 for 8mm steel?

Me gustan las resorteras homie 👍

At this Time I’m shooting a daisy tube slingshot. I want to order a band style sling shot how would one know if it’s ttf bands vs otf band ? Thanks in advance also I live in the states.

Can you link everything you use luke what's the cutting tool your using weres ya get the elastic string

Chris, do you shoo GZK .66 all year round for hunting m8.

Any difference between flat top band vs Side band?

Excellent,Thankyou

I was making the other type of Rollie just is u said that 😂😂 good video though

Poštovanje. Kako se zove taj nož za sečenje silikonske gume? Neki link gde se može poručiti ?!

Awesome videos man! I am trying to make a sling shot gun and was wondering if you recommend these bands or the more tube style bands? Thanks again!

For hunting how many power in lbs we need?

Hi - Can you put the link where to buy the tools and template you used to have all bands cut and the pouch holder? Very good and informative video.

Hi pal. Great video. New to this so just a quickie. Getting green .66 GZK based on ya viid. I’ve got 65cm draw and going to be using 9.5 mm steel for hunting rabbits and pigeon inside 30ft. Got any idea of the taper please ? Thinking 20/15? Cheers

what thickness i should use for 9mm ball?

Thank you

how many mm thick did you buy the gzk tape?

Hi Chris ,,am I stupid? When you say divide draw length by 5.5 for your band length, does it not depend on thickness and band width?

hello any link for the string you used? thanks

Let me ask you how much green gzk wire you are using. and size you are using?

Congrats to uz both,,,great vids bud

Do you have a video how you explain how you site and be able to hit consistent

6:48 fishing feeder gum?

Great video 👍

Chris with 0.62 gzk green is a taper 20 to 15 alright for 8mm steel ?

Where did you get the rubber binding apparatus, man please tell me the address you received

Hi mate, what is the length of the template

thanks for the vid how much costs that rubber roll plz

What is That for a slingshot?? Brand?? Modell??

Mate I’m tying to buy a Titan ott.... please how can I buy one?

Bought these bands after watching this video and I must say 0.62 black is faster than this 0.66 green.

Congratulations on the kiddo, mate. it's survival mode for the first 6-8 months then you start finding sleep again

Ordered GZK black in the heavy grade its going to be interesting to see how it performs i cot at around 9 in length and with a 3cm width tapering to 2.5 cm and i get a fairly fast band set

What is the thickness of your rubber ?

Chris, are you Ciro Immobile's brother? Ciro Plays for Seria A team Lazio.

Please provide English close captioning - your Celtic accent us difficult to understand. Thank you.

I fallow you good bro

Good stuff mate

Good video m8! What's the difference between gzk green, yellow and black? And what do you think about precise 0.7? Cheers!

Size mm ?hands large cm? Thanks

Have you ever tried lubricating the bands with Vaseline or some other oil based product to prolong the life of the bands?

Where do you get GZK?

You can kill also a squirrel with this gzk setup with bodyshots?

Hi, Am just getting into this, I have got some pre made bands from aliexpress. I have since found out that they are ttf tied bands and my catapult is ott, will this make a great difference to my shooting? Also my shoots seem to go to the right a bit, any advice or should I just keep aiming to the left? I hold with my left hand. Love the videos, learning a lot and just enjoy watching them. Congrats on the baby.

Hello 👋 how are you I am in Uzbekistan

Hi Chris how do I order a mini hammer pro
