Pro Tip - Slingshot Performance - Double Layer Bandsets

[@ryanmoulden5440]

I've been zooming 1/2" hex nuts out of my setup with 6"×3/4" straights of simple shot black latex. Inside 12 yards a headshot does rabbits in,no problem all day long. Great video as always Nathan. - BPC

[@simpleshot]

Thank you!

[@matsalted]

Ryan Moulden You fire nuts rather than balls?

[@nuclearwinter21]

Great explanation! Thank goodness, I have watched this video before I put on a new set of rubber bands on my slingshot. I'm not going to waste another pair of 14-inch rubber bands on my old slingshot ever again. 👍

[@grumpygrumpgrump136]

Glad someone finally figured this out. Great job Nathan, thanks.

[@simpleshot]

You are welcome! :)

[@IainHC1]

I Have just this week strapped my first double band set to my slingshot. I have noticed a significant and not so comfortable difference to shooting my first single band set. Thank you for this information :-) It's gonna come in handy :-)

[@MBwelding]

Good comparison I need to get a crony I like 3/8 steel for my hunting and target shooting but without a way to test I haven’t tried to optimize my bands for the best accurate and hard hitting combo I can achieve other then gut feeling on seeing it hit different targets

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

When I sent a friend a slingshot he wanted double bands but I forgot to double them. I never saw the need for it, I found you can get power simply by measuring the width of the bands and slicing to the desired width.

[@kishascape]

I do need that heavier draw weight actually when come to bigger heavy ammo.

[@zwillenfink9729]

thanks for the informations!

[@thewholls7176]

I wonder what you’d suggest for my old favourite - 10mm lead

[@simpleshot]

Our Nitro Flat Bands 1/2" will work well with 10mm lead ammo.

[@danielgreen3715]

Interesting! ..Im using Snipersling Yellow in 0.5 and having some good results with Doubling it Im cutting at 22mm to 15 with a 7 inch active Band length and its Shooting 9.5 or 3/8 Steel pretty well But only because I have run out of the .72 in the Black which i prefer Am going to have a look at this Simple Shot Elastic next time though cheers

[@scottchandler8613]

Grate video Nathan thanks for constantly improving the slingshot would .

[@simpleshot]

On behalf of the team here, you're welcome!

[@CatapultCarnage]

Great vid Nathan Any power hungry folks out there could also try yellow precise (0.75mm) or any other of the thicker bands available now There's just no need for doubles anymore. Like you say they just aint worth it

[@scottchandler8613]

I agree. The yellow precise with a nice wide cut sends my 12mm steel excellent . By the way Love your videos .

[@robellenberger6816]

Hay please post hunting with slingshot i am not telling you to i want you to and i love your videios

[@addytheslinger4270]

What is a good taper for simple shot black if im shooting half inch and 7/16 would 1 and 1/4 inch by 3/4 taper WORK

[@datnotme9921]

I have PSTS aluminum cast from Pro Shot UK Catapults. I'm shooting 5/16rd, recently bought a roll of theraband gold from you. Banding to fork, fork is 1 1/8" atop. Should bands be attached wide or narrow atop fork? At what widths to taper is best for 5/16"? Thanks for sharing, 👏👀👍

[@robertomorizake4444]

ive interest to try in double bandset and have interest for a good slingshot can hold 2 bandset. My question is all the simpleshot slingshots models can hold 2 bandset? have one more complete? hammer? scount? axiom? want test for get more joules with heavy ammo and testing 1,2 maybe 3 bands

[@robertomorizake4444]

yes ive check this kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoDUiZJ4n89mnJY simpleshot video yet. just want know whats slingshot for simpleshot is more durable and complete, maybe a hammer set?

[@simpleshot]

Any of the FlipClips should hold double bandsets.

[@simpleshot]

It does not increase the velocity like one would think. The added drag and wind resistance alone will slow the bands.

[@PraveenAV]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobkeller8383]

I just looked for these red bands you showed but can't find them on your website

[@veerbhadraweaponclassandou9473]

Hello Boss nice info what's taper on that single band ?

[@Furby213]

How far does the ammo actually travel from catapult to landing on the ground ?

[@lawsonrichards1789]

Need to buy a catty of you . Hard work finding 1 in the UK. Good viideo

[@simpleshot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidboyd374]

Proshot in the U.K. are brilliant recently bought a PPMG. TTF......great. for me

[@Furby213]

Can i buy these cattys in the vid , please leave a link for me/us .

[@rackum44]

I need to buy some more Thera-Band from simple shot I been shooting the gold what is the difference between that and the red precise thanks in advance

[@simpleshot]

Hi there. We have seen much better performance from Precise than we've ever seen from TBG. The Precise latex is our favorite for raw speed. Our black latex still wins the durability/performance balance (the Precise will wear faster), but we prefer both over TBG for quite some time now.

[@rackum44]

@@simpleshot I ordered TBG bulk,and pouches,they came in 2 days,thanks for the quick delivery.

[@simpleshot]

@@rackum44 You're very welcome. Thank YOU!

[@petrokemikal]

Double layer never caught on with me, 2 pieces of rubber rubbing against each other will definitely shorten the life of a set.. Also its quite difficult to make a neat connection to the pouch.. Might as well just buy thicker bands if you want to shoot heavier ammo and don't get too caught up in trying to eek out a few fps.. It doesn't matter in the slightest..

[@dustinh4175]

Id like to see the longevity of bands tested

[@simpleshot]

There are several tests from individuals here on KZbin. Please check them out.

[@slimtheowl]

Like now, watch later.

[@robellenberger6816]

Can i use the band set in the viedo to hunt squirrels

[@simpleshot]

Indeed. Make sure you match your ammo appropriately and are accurate. Accuracy wins the day.

[@simpleshot]

Squirrels are TOUGH, so you have to put that shot down where it needs to be!

[@robellenberger6816]

Ok thank you very much

[@robellenberger6816]

Mr nathan what would be a good hunting setup from your website band wise other than the gzk nitro

[@MangaGamified]

are squirrels extinct yet?

[@kamminchonbaite3371]

please make zap slingshot and zap slinbow that can shot dart.

[@WV591]

yes indeed. I walked away from double bands. Single is more accurate and much more efficient in every way.my accuracy has started to improve. Double bands look bad A** but that's about it.

[@richardsmith3199]

double layers are generally for hunting using heavy 10mm and up lead ammo and boy they pack a wallop

[@johnmccullim]

Dude, it's over for double bands....more effort/less accuracy, what we all NEED TO KNOW IS... is it latex, thera, pink black or white. Its the rubber on the road syndrome. Went through 10,000 9.5mm lead but, now I shoot 11mm steel, single 40_25 Aye they are all dead!!

[@simpleshot]

This is with our Premium Black Latex.

[@davidboyd374]

Just a waste of time and effort using double layer bands. If you want less of more power. Adjust the thickness of the bands you are using Its not rocket science But the way some people try to really complicate the art of just. Shooting a slingshot. Ridiculous. Lol. 😂🤔😇
