How do you measure slingshot draw length?

[@simondickinson4236]

Great series Nathan, thank you. I have a number of your slingshots now and love them all.

[@simpleshot]

Glad you like them! You are very welcome.

Straight to the point ..no bs ..work cheers

[@jermcontrol2367]

Good advice, as always. I've often noticed that the length I cut my bands will vary based on the particular material. So if you try a different kind of latex, or different brand even. It may change some.

[@simpleshot]

Yes, you are 100% correct. Different latex will stretch differently.

[@jermcontrol2367]

@@simpleshot lately I've been using Simpleshots black latex. It's pretty good, but I do have to cut my bands a lil longer so it uses a lil more material. That's fine with me though, bc the bands last longer. Do you think you guys will offer those bands in different colors?

[@simpleshot]

At this time, there are no plans for other colors.

[@albertdonald2053]

Cool I how been doing that same thing that you just explained but, why does it cut the life of the band so short I've broken so many bands . But cool video I learn a lot from the video.

Thank you so much for your support.

i love my scout x from you guys @@simpleshot

[@simpleshot]

Thank you! We love to hear that!

[@usernamemykel]

Nathan, don't you have to take into account the stretchability of the particular rubber? Duraband stretches 4.5x, others are different - don't we need to enter this into the math??????? If so, how? Thank you!

Longevity is my Friend

[@simpleshot]

Yes, and prefer speed. Bands are very much able to be customized for your purpose.

You don’t need string just pull out the tape measure

[@simpleshot]

This works too but can be more difficult to manage for some people.

[@KINGSTONSPRIDE]

@@simpleshot True but I just hold the hook of the tape measure pull to my draw point and just lock the tape measure and read the number it falls on. I pulled a 31 and rounded down to 30 to make it an even number. Got my Hammer XT in the mail yesterday. That thing is solid. Thanks for posting all these great videos 💯

Thank you and you are very welcome.
