.50 slingshot band speed and longevity test.

got hold of this band to try recently when ordering from China, decided to cut my regular taper I use with .5 elastic and put it to the test. while doing this I've decided to try it 22/14 that doesn't mean it's not good at 20/12 it's a nice target band, I'm just curious to see how a bigger taper will feel and shoot and what if any extra speed I'll achieve. hope this video is entertaining or helpful for anyone who shoots or looking to shoot.

Cheers mate, and thanks for watching 👍👊

[@Slinginskint-.]

Good to see some speed testing are they maxed out 👍😎

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Cheers for watching mate, at first they felt almost maxed out but after a dozen or so shots they seemed to break in a bit and had a little extra give

[@Ropa_Redefined]

Awesome shooting, mate. Good to see a really thorough shooting session. I really like the looks of that frame. 👍

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Thanks mate, it was a good session, I'm not sure if my release fingers appreciated it. Well sore today 🤦🤣👊

[@Chineseslingshotchannel]

thank you so much!

[@Dan_the_Catty_Man]

Regardless of the bands, that seemed like a wicked shoot mate, good fun to watch boyo 🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Thanks mate, appreciate that and thanks for watching. It was a fun couple of hours this morning. Struggled a bit on the 25 and 40 but still great fun 😁👌 shot so many cans today. Builders working on a roof behind me were having a right gigle at the bloke recording himself shooting 🤣🤣 👊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 haha.. let me tell you something, them two builders laughing will be the next wasp customers..ha.. I 110% bet that if you said “do you want a go at this” they would because as men we love stuff like this.. if they say no on the other hand I again bet 110% they will go home to play xbox all night.. in other words FUCK UM.🤣🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great video, I stumbled onto 7mm this year! What a great size of ammo, big enough to see but you still gets that flat trajectory. What are your thoughts on bands smaller than .50 for thickness? I know it would perform worse in the winter, but 0.50 is a lot more draw weight than 0.40 to not gain much more velocity. Let me know your thoughts!

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Have to he honest mate, .5 is the thinnest I've tried, I do have some .4 (can't remember what brand) but waiting for it to warm up before I try it. I made some 22/14 bands of this stuff this afternoon, it's an awful lot heavier but gained about 22fps, not sure how the band life will be with the 22/14 as haven't had chance to take more than a dozen or so shots yet

[@Lonewolfcattyplinker]

Love my .5 bsb

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Me to, I still have a roll and more on order but I enjoy trying new ones. This is a little slower but shoots nice and the draw is super smoth and buttery. I'll cut some 22/14 and see if I can get better speed without compromising to much on draw weight because I love how light this is to draw 🎯💥👊

[@Loneslinger]

Good morning, thanks for sharing this and keep them coming ☕️

[@tattoofromthehart]

Great video where do you get your cattys from

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Cheers mate, I make my own and mostly shoot them now, but I have a lot of wasp slingshots, and a couple of hegarty slings frames and Dan Leightons slingshots frames. All perform great, just takes practice 👍👊

[@kai_lemke]

hey hey...good vid! 😎 had had this latex also...but in 0.45...really not bad...but the color dont fit to the most frames 😅 is that also the same brand what you send me? my first thought was that its sumeike...but than i see the thickness...what is that? 0.80 or something like this right? 😅

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

I can't remember what bands I sent now but it wouldn't be this, it's either 100% or a latex I had given to me that apparently called Dafork but I haven't been able to find it for sale, what colour did I send, was it green?

[@kai_lemke]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 one of them was gzk yellow...the other one was pink...same colour like someone 45...but muuuuuch thicker 😂😂 that green handset was maybe gongchi...or the green sobong...not sure...but i tend to gongchi 👌🏻😎

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

@kai_lemke I remember now that's precise .6 I never got on with it, it's about 2 years old so may not he great, but it's been kept in the dark and airtight so may he fine 😅 What bands do you usually shoot?

[@kai_lemke]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 my number one is white bsb 0.45...second sumeike 0.45...and on the third place are lila lunte 0.54 together with snipersling green 0.50 now...and for tubes gm&bw is my number one for maybe 1 year now 👌🏻😎

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

@kai_lemke your a light band shooter to 👌 if you won't use it to shoot or for ties pass it onto someone else mate 😁 I have some gm&bw tubes on the way but have lots of gzk to use up before I should try it, but I probably w9nt wait until then 😅
