How to Make Slingshot bands and Tie on Pouches (How to Slingshot #3)

[@josephinepaul6]

I love my sling shot and I sew! So happy to see you using fabric tools. Now I know I got this lol

[@ramoncortes4557]

I used to have a slingshot when i was young i mised the day when we are hunting some birds in the woods,i have learned a lot in this tutorial zach,thanks a lot

[@flaviouroluoch153]

Me too

[@BushCampingTools]

As an Aussie, I can vouch that Kangaroo leather is extremely durable even for very thin thicknesses.

[@anusktk3175]

You are awedome.i am great ponder of slingshots since from my chilhood.watching your videos it makes me so cheerfull

[@adamslater4592]

I use Theraband gold 1 inch strips with a double band set. I tie mine up a little different, but basically the same. I wrap my bands near my pouch and then tuck it through itself using a loop of string. Thanks for a few ideas tho. I like your clamp set up. I usually get my wife to stretch them out while I wrap it. Haha.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Yeah I like the thunder bangle gold to at time

[@kokekan75]

Mate, you'd make an excellent teacher! Great vid!

[@michaelb.42112]

I just bought the jig and materials from SimpleShot to make my own bands. I'm looking forward to learning.

[@outdooreddie2954]

I watched this video when it first was uploaded. Didn’t ever purchase the board and tools because of fork hits. Having the board and tools would have come in handy for one of my last projects adding a latex liner for my bow quiver slots. Cutting the strips was a straight STRUGGLE haha.

[@AlexSmith-fs6ro]

Long time ago, in my mid teens, I used to make slingshot bands from unrepairable inner tube (tyre). They worked excellently. At one point the tube began to be made from a material that, after stretching, would go back to its original size very slowly. That was the end.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

I wonder if there is anywhere I cold get an old inertube like that. Probably all long rotted away by now unless some where they are still made

[@Bikewer]

Me too. Back in the 50s and early 60s, most tire tubes were made of natural rubber that made good bands. Then, they switched to “butyl” rubber that didn’t.... However..... Bicycle tubes are still made of natural rubber, and mountain-bike tubes work quite well....

[@usernamemykel]

@grumpy old fart Used?

[@bradfarrahgerwing154]

My dad had a slingshot he made when I was a kid from that innertube rubber from old tires....our family farm started 1872...that thing was a rocket Wish I still had it but a brother claimed it and lost it.

[@nathangrueber9834]

Hi i was wondering where ti get the rubbery vinly like string used for band tieing that simpleshot uses?

[@doctorbea]

This is excellent! Thank you for this, Fowler!

[@marvhin6776]

Hey i have rubber band like that i think lang but you are my favorite slingshot man in the world.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

[@imakillyou6880]

ya no kidding on its harder, had needle nose pliers on me and just busted my knuckle from a metal ball rickshaw, dosent look pritty but it worked, took me 5 min to put one on....

[@flowerofash4439]

You remind me of my father, he is crafty, love marksmanship, love nature and hunting, and strong. if he is still alive i am sure he would love your channel

[@Downeastwaves]

Very neat! Love the quilting tools😀

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Thanks works grate since its important to have a smooth continuous cut.

[@salar_sndi]

Me to love the edit ;)

[@briann1181]

Looks like I came to the right place. Perfect

[@peytonslures6637]

Yes lol

[@joeslob1199]

Instead of elastics have you tried shrink tubing? solid and stays where you put it. Elastics are good but have shelf life shrink tubing can be re-heated and stay in place if needed your thoughts?

[@hobbiehobbs]

Absolutely enjoy your channel. My God continue to bless you and your family. Merry Christmas my Brother.

[@williamselas5342]

was going crazy trying to tie my pouch, I though it was a for awesome and v for villain. thanks man

Do you ever shoot .177" BBs? I've been shooting a little PFS I made using office rubber. I have some 1632 tubes coming in as well which should give me a bit more zip. They're tons of fun, especially for indoor plinking. Thanks for another video.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

I shoot quarter inch steel and half inch steel

[@robellenberger6816]

Mr fowler if i got .30 latex would a one inch straight cut be enough to hunt squirel or rabbits with 38 steel or 1/2in steel

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Do a sup can test can you put a hole in it at 10 feet then it should be more then enough. make sure the can is held firmly in somthing or it wont go threw and wont be a fair test.

[@robellenberger6816]

[@SheldonHerringWexler]

Just got my scout gen 2 today!!! It's awesome. I had a quick question. Are you going to sell Theraband gold bandsets on your website?

[@ericpelky1246]

Helpful video. ✌👍

[@craighampshire9275]

I love it when the logo comes out of the shirt

[@JaszczurXD123]

Hey! I put The band The Absolutly wrong way instead to The Victory way. Can I just turn it and shoot with The slick side of The pouch or should I wrap it again?

[@Preppergirl10]

I would wrap it again

[@JasonLancaster]

Just got into sling shots. It seems my band has stretched a bit. I've also anchored to the corner of my mouth. I believe that has seriously slowed my shots. If I were to go hunting... In not sure it'd do much to a squirrel or a rabbit. Should I consider shortening my band? Or increase my pull back closer to my ear(that will definitely Jack with my accuracy)?

[@stonewintjen505]

What size ammo would you advise for small game I.e. squirrel bird rabbit... and what slingshots could I buy on amazon to use

[@Preppergirl10]

My dad says we can use marbles

[@Preppergirl10]

You can DIY YOUR SLINGSHOT TOO

[@proudtobemalaysian2]

Good information 👍

[@jakubkozler9605]

Thank you for a video :)

[@Chadok89]

Hello! How thick are your bands (the red and the last one you used for example)? Just to figured out around what thickness I should look for. I would try to make my own latex squares are usually in quite big volumes and I would like to avoid buying many just to test...and on websites here they talk more about how it feels on your skin that how performant it is for slingshots...if you know what I mean...

[@zwigoma2]

use weight bands

[@PrakashKumar-wh9nw]

Big fan sir

[@tuvoca825]

Coffee questions....I don't drink coffee but I noticed you do sometimes. If you had it to do over again, would you choose: "10 pounds of legumes" (ie, coffee?). Is that a lot? How long would that last? I know some people used to carry it on the fronteir. They also made coffee substitutes. Have you ever made a coffee substitute? Would you make some video(s) about that? Examples: brigham tea, roasted chicory, roasted dandelion root, etc. Some of these things had caffeine while some were for the flavor.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

no i like my coffe but i would not choose that over my tools

[@jeffreyhammell9335]

perfect video, keep'em coming

[@KenWeiG]

I looked at your rubber band tied ... can we use the same rubber that make the slingshot and just cut it into thin piece to tied the band ??

[@bobbyspenser7304]

he my friend while i have been setting here watching your videos i have took this 3mm sheets of styrene an cut out the ocularis by going from the cutting mat on your work bench to get the size right i build scale rc crawler things like scale power saws an alot of great scale things an i know that polystyrene is strong enough to do the job because it get stronger as you layer it an its easy to work with in this nurseing home an dont laugh you know the rubber bands that they tie your arm off to get blood well i have got all different kinds i thought that they all was the same but just like the pieces you are cutting colors are different types of rubber an i have a few kinds an by watching you an learning i dont have to cut them because they are already the size just cut to how long i want them so that what i am praticeing on till i can get me one off the ocularis an some good band meteral like you have there i can learn how to tie an cut the right way but shooting this is not in my planes lol because i am already in a wheelchair i dont want to be setting in it with one eye so i will just use this to learn everything on for sure thank you for all of the great imformation i wish i could be out shooting well learning because i have time to set an just do that but the rubber bands i am talking about will you check on them an see what you think about them really because i have really tested them by seeing how far an how long the last out tight an rub on them with sand paper to see what an how much they can stand an keeping everything wrote down yeah testing thats what i am trying to say but want ever try to shoot one till i get something that has been usedby someone like you an not something i have just put together an say oh yeaah i got it an the be saying it later with only one eye so help me out my friend i am really wanting to learn the rightt way to make it be a fun an something to enjoy an i hope i hope i am now bothering you by all my want to know an learn if i am my friend i will stop but thank you i have found something i am wanting to really get into ok

[@bunba_77_15]

Loving the Sparrow, such an elegant design. Would love to see one made from multicolored plywood. Just found a store that sells the bands by the meter, but can't find a European seller for the Slingshot. The taxes and postage will double the price to Finland. :(

[@AdiCherryson]

Can you share the info about the store with bands? I have a similar problem and I ended up with the Czech Extreme EDC slingshot. Now I just need a band supplier.

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

Awesome 👍

[@saintsfisherman]

I have only been shooting a sling shot for about 2 years and love it! I have used 'theraband gold' for both my band strips and my tie on pieces. I get probably about 400 to 800 shots before it snaps on me. Is that about what you are getting or would it be worth upgrading when I use it all? Love your videos and your energy.

[@kenvng]

would you recommend this for beginner?

[@saintsfisherman]

@@kenvng this is how I started making my own. The yellow has been great for me. I have been doing it now for 8 years and I can hunt squirrels and rabbits with the yellow.

[@dankiefresh8411]

Do u have any latex free options for bands?

[@synrme5812]

6 days till i get my first slingshot,it comes with tubes,sooo Sir should i use flat bands??? Or should i use the tubes(since they dont sell latex slingshot flat bands in my country)(i have to use a 0.8mm thickness and 1.7 cm width flat rubber band,the ones for everyday use),so please advice,thank you

[@rajeevhyanki3537]

Very nice video sir

[@randywiggins1248]

Have you used bicycle inner tubes? Rolling cutter looks like great tool so that's next purchase.

[@vasectomyfail442]

My life consists of reusing inner tubes, unfortunately they don’t have enough “snap” for slingshots.

[@marlawhite3682]

great tips Im just starting out when my Orange one gets here

[@jackthemuss2493]

So much to know about sling shots

[@michaeljordan3084]

Maybe you can help me. I like shooting paintballs from my slingshot, but can get no where near the chrono speed I’m looking for with the tubular bands I’ve been using. I want to try flat bands, but can you recommend what type/color/thickness of material to get the best performance for shooting paintballs at around 275 fps

[@rottiejakeluke]

I really like the fixture you made. It’s simple, effective, and makes the patch tying process easy. Thanks do you make your tie bands yourself from the latex?

[@eggi_rius]

Can someone tell me why pouches are used? It seems to make it actually work properly since mine wasn't quite working shot by it's rubber. If i am to make a pouch, can i do it without cutting the rubber? ( a pouch that is along the rubber and slides as rubber stretches)

Yes same here!

Please giveaway slingshot big fan bro I like your every short I am from India 🇮🇳

[@fairlanewhip79]

Are flat bands really better? I’ve only ever used tube bands and my slingshot has great power. They don’t last very long though.

[@teecee3911]

Went through all the comments and there were several questions asking about the thickness of the rubber sheet but didn't see any reply from you. Wish to ask the same question here. What thickness of the rubber is most suitable for a beginner? Does thickness of the rubber matter? Please reply.

[@grounded7362]

I know this is a little off topic, but since you are making up band sets I was wondering what you would suggest for ideal bands for plinking with 3/8 inch clay ammo?

[@capthowdy126]

ok i know nothing about rubber bands or slingshot but im making a crossbow pistol an it called for a specific rubber an when buying it i could only get a 18 foot long by 5 inch wide roll so i have alot of extra an im curious if i can use it on slings shots or is it not the best option. also what is the best way to store the rubber cause from my experience with using rubber bands they dont last long b4 they start to fall apart an deteriorate to almost a dust so id at least like to be able to keep this stuff without it falling apart on me to quickly. the rubber i purchased was thera-band max resistance.

[@wagnercs6062]

Which tape do you use? Here in Brazil the tape I use breaks a lot.

[@THEPAINOFITALL]

Thank you🤓

[@benjaminhampton1533]

Hi I found the Hammer slingshot and am really considering buying it but I would want to use the slingbow configuration for either hunting large game or bowfishing, I'm not really sure how I would achieve the draw weight i want of around 55 or 60 lbs at 30 inches, I would appreciate some help if you could.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

It comes with the bands set up for doing slingbow and they have enought wait to hunt with if you live in an area that allows it

[@moonolyth]

Are there any tips for bands and leather for BB shooting out there? looking for a softer draw but without the loss of power, a sweet spot let's just say. I just started with BBs and love it, fits my billfold. I'll be making a slingshot with ammo inside the handle and magnet.

is there a set of bands that would be good year round in Virginia for hunting with 3/8 steel ammo form a simpleshot Ocularis Axiom Champ

[@coop0295]

Any tips on making flat bands last longer/ different bands that may last longer? I’ve been using thera band gold and if I’m practicing it’s nothing to go though a set or two in no time. ?????

[@johnnygunz2300]

Huh.. Been making bands for years and when cutting I always try to do it in one fairly quick continuous zip, but your method seems much less stressful (i.e. not ruining your bands and cutting your finger tips off). I'll have to give that a go.

[@adventures3699]

Where did u get the band rolls can u put up a link please?

[@simpleshot]

From SimpleShot. Link in description: simple-shot.com?aff=12

[@ProgrammerSheep]

Amazon has a 6 feet roll of theraband gold for 11 dollars

[@hdrjunkie]

Where do you get that latex sheet? Also where do you get the tie on strips? I can’t find this stuff.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Simplshot or Gzk on Facebook there is a link and we have most of it just not the tie ons on our website just now they are coming in soon so check out fowlersmakeryandmischief.com

[@hdrjunkie]

Fowler's Makery and Mischief ok cool, thanks a lot Zachary!

[@DX1895]

Well I know what my next project will be!

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Careful it's addicting . start cutting your own bands and you have to try out every new piece of latex you find

[@DX1895]

Right on! Anywhere in particular I can get them? Hardware store or something. (I'm in Ontario, Canada)

[@pennyghost]

Do I want the torque, or the scout? They look the same size. I assume they take the same bands. Whats the difference? Thanks.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

the torque shoots only over the top in either tubes which it comes with or bands which it dose not come included. It is more pocket friendly and my favorite right now mostly because of the pocket friendly bit and i don't leave home without it. The scout is the better of the 2 and easier to become good with since it is more accurate to shoot threw the forks. But the scout can do both. the only thing it dose not do well is live in ones back pocket as part of ones edc.

[@ericgillespie2812]

Everyone knows theraband gold is the best for slingshots just ask Jorge sprave

[@boboat86]

The master

[@shiro703]

It’s not the best it’s just the most common it’s not even meant for slingshots and medical latex is better and precise latex is better about 5 years ago theraband were really gold but they made the bands thinner

[@shiro703]

Raz Reaver it’s because it’s not about the latex it’s about the formula for example why precise it gzk are way better than tag it’s because the formula is different it’s meant for slingshots

[@kenvng]

What is the band width and does it matter if the band width is smaller than the slingshot arm width there you attaching the band?

[@toolcrazydiy5382]

2 cm👍👍

[@SalineScott]

Great tips. Thanks

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Your welcome thanks for watching

[@kenmcf]

How did you decide on the taper...I see the widest measure matches the top of the torque...is there an ideal "ratio" to taper?

[@fastgamer_9756]

Mast

[@zviadg6112]

What natural products we can use for banding?

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Not sure what you mean bonding what. It would be impossible i thing to bond any of the elastics. I was thinking about shrink tube for tying band but that is far form natural.

[@tuvoca825]

Zviad, I'm eager to see if someone makes a video of this since I was wondering the same thing, but it looks tricky to do. I know dandelions have latex in them (white milky stuff that oozes when you snap them in half). Most of it seems to be in the roots, but how the back so you make a band out of them? There is a German company extracting latex from the plant and apparently latex floats on water, but beyond that... you either need to keep at the patent or experiment. Not sure how to make a band out of it once you get the latex. Does anyone else here know?

[@zviadg6112]

Mister Fowler you are one of the best survivalist, so I think you will find some natural products for more independence in woods (nature). :)

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

there has been talk in the slingshot forums and no one knows of anything natural that that could allow you to make a holy natural slingshot band. i have played around with striping out the elastic fiber in underware bands and jacket pull cords and that is posible.

[@aldrinedward3749]

I watch your. Show

[@ericclaeyborn3600]

Is there any problem with using fishing line for tying the bands on? There are thicker size fishing line to use (nylon or twine), so there's less chance of cutting through.

[@mtbaird89]

Like exercise resistance latex bands?

[@shirleyrowe9571]

Are your mats 1.5mm or 3mm thick? Or is the thinner, stretchier one the 1.5mm and the thicker ones 3mm?
