Congratulations on your new baby girl!

[@williamjones4681]

Thanks for the information and congratulations on your new addition

[@maxpower001]

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.

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

[@TJ_into_the_wild]

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! 👏

[@CatapultCarnage]

Thank you mate Let me know how you get on

[@TJ_into_the_wild]

@@CatapultCarnage Went for 25/20mm taper with 180mm active length, using 9.5mm steel. I'm 6ft 3ins tall and have arms like an orangutan, so I've still got plenty of power! Really chuffed with the result. Thanks again for the vid and big congrats on the arrival of your little lady! 👏👍😁

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

[@philkennedy342]

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...

[@shaneshaw4057]

Congrats on the little one mate!

[@jayedannholmes6367]

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?

[@fede8444]

For hunting how many power in lbs we need?

[@kitasaunders]

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

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

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

[@davidtidwell5312]

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!!!!

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

[@adamvvs2644]

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

[@joshuadennis266]

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

You're welcome Cheers

[@MonkeyTron69]

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.

[@poodlenz]

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?

[@crackers_are_great_with_am9572]

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

[@prcnl]

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

[@luisueberbacher5484]

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

[@martinamarie231]

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

[@CatapultCarnage]

Yes

[@luisueberbacher5484]

how many mm thick did you buy the gzk tape?

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

[@КириллАлексеевич-щ6ь]

Я пробовал. Эффект положительный

[@jimmybrown2904]

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?

[@CatapultCarnage]

No mate. But you can always alter the cut and length to suit. I stick to 5.5 always

[@naagesen]

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.

[@seanmcphee1072]

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

[@subsemnatu17]

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

[@CatapultCarnage]

Its kinda like light, medium and heavy for yellow, green and black in that order but it's a little more complicated than that hard to explain

[@CatapultCarnage]

And the precise is ok but gzk is better imho

[@ismaelmartinez4510]

Me gustan las resorteras homie 👍

[@usernamemykel]

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.😊

.66 .80 what’s the difference?

[@CatapultCarnage]

0.66mm thick 0.8mm thick bands

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

Great video 👍

[@frankmontgomery5040]

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.

[@CatapultCarnage]

Hiya mate you've asked some good questions with no short answer. Your shots going left could be a number of things. Try adjusting your head tilt and or anchor point. Have a look at my aiming video

[@CatapultCarnage]

Also ttf bands aren't as easy to aim down ott but doesn't really make a difference to the actual shot. Also I'd recommend buying bands off HTH in the uk or Simple shot if you're in the states. Or try making your own

[@frankmontgomery5040]

@@CatapultCarnage thanks for the advice, I'll try those tips, see if I can get some results with them. I'm going to try making my own band at some point, I'll definitely hit up HTH for the band rolls though. Cheers for taking the time to reply buddy..

[@mch.l.trecords9169]

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.
