QUICK TIP: BAND ELONGATION 

Wow! Game changer information 🤟

Great tip. Thanks

great info for mid shooters. the variance in elastic is wild. when you get good enough you start to expect results and when things go wrong it can throw you.

This video was definitely worth saving g into my library. Thanks 😊

Really great info brother!!! Tests like these are extremely valuable! Thank you for taking time to do these!👊🙏

Great video one for the archives🍁

Cheers mate that as helped me out mate. I've just had that problem I've just put sniper sling black on and it doesn't stretch as far as the yellow. A big thank you bro 😁👍👍🎯❤️💯

Nice tips! Good shooting as well! Tracks in the snow look like the can was making a run for it and couldn't jump the fence haha!

Good info and nice tips. Greetings 👌🏽🤘🎯

Mark is such a kick ass dude.

Thanks Mark great info.

Great tips!

Brilliant video.. Straight to the point and helped me a lot

Excellent informative video mark 👍🏻

Good infos, I am currently doing 23-15 Snipersling yellow.6, close to maxed out. Blasts 💥

thanks mate. nice explanations

Good tips vicar!

Yes, makes complete sense thank you good sir.

Excellent video

That's true.. Elongation factor generally used among slingshot shooters is around 5.5. But you need to know what is the true elongation factor that each type of rubber bands had.. There are bands that stop at 4 elongation factor and of course there are bands that stop stretching at 7 elongation factor. Once you knew this, then you need to consider your draw length.. It's good to see that you pointed that out..

Superb video, you have helped me a lot recently. I've been trying out different Chinese pre-cut bands (they are all I can get in the Philippines - but they are fine for the average shooter for decent speed and accuracy) to find one that works best for me. You've convinced me that rather than stick to a rigid formula you really need to do a stretch test. I did this on 0.7 and 1mm bands and although the band lengths were quite different I was getting consistent accuracy with both. I prefer lighter bands with 8mm BB so I'm going to order some 0.65 and will use the same method. Cheers. Liked and subbed.

Great info for people out there. Now I can just send them to this video🤣🤣 that sounded kinda like I was being a jerk to people and I didn't mean it that way. I was meaning when they ask why they aren't getting what they expected from the bands, i can refer them here. Lol

Another good video I do see what u mean with the band's ur just lucky ur not my neighbour or id be round at yours asking stuff all the time 🤣

Can you try out Amazon slingshots bands I’ve been using them for a little while but I’m probably going to start making my own one and thanks for helping me with those videos you made

Another way I have found to get more speed, is to make the fork end of your bands about a half inch wider than the attachment point of the forks. Then about 1.5 inches before the end of the bands cut a taper on the fork end so that the actual ends are the correct width. This gives a bit more power to your bands. So basically you have a band set that is tapered at both ends.

Really good video Mark👍🏻 Just quick question. I'm usually aiming long time (about 5-7sec) Will my long aiming change ammo speed also?

If anyone scrolling through the comments shoots gzk green or gzk black cold wether bands I have some questions. What thickness is the best for 10 mm lead or 11 mm steel and what tapers have you found to be most effective ( speed wise ) when shooting. Thank you all have a good day.

What taper and band material would you recommend for shooting clays? I've just started shooting slingshots and I really want to make my own bands. I have the same draw length as you at around 30". I'm probably gonna get theraband because it's fairly in expensive but I'm not sure what resistance to get

Would you be up for chrono testing a band set from 400% to 600% just re-tie the same set shorter every 10shots. I have tested this recently when trying snipersling and found I got more speed at less than max, going from 6.5-1 picked up ~10fps going down to 5.5-1 was shooting butterfly 23-15 if that makes any difference. Might be short draw aggressive taper maximum works better?
