Ah mate I can't wait, I used to love the cold but the past couple of years it's not nice, always surfed right through winter and didn't feel it. Bring on the 🌞🌞🌞🤘

Thanks brother and thank you for watching 😃🤘👊

[@SlinginHomadeShots]

Great review!! I’ve got some pink .50 coming.. anxious to try it.. great review ❤

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Thanks brother, let me know how the pink goes 😁 stay well and shoot lots 😁🤘💥👊

[@outandaboutsince1986]

My go to band for plinking for the past few months now bro . I noticed my shots drop a little lower in on colder days , but I now max the band on cold day. And I find it helps 🤷💥 boom 💥

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

It seems a good band, I'm enjoying it so far, how do you find the longevity? It seems OK so far to me 😃 💥 Boom 💥 😃👊

[@outandaboutsince1986]

@rowlandoutdoors5992 maxed out I get about 350 . Not maxed about 380 shots and always snap at pouch end . I love the stuff 🤘

[@ZachSlingshots]

I cant wait til you can try some of omegas latex

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

I can't either mate, its in such demand in the states I don't know if or when I'll get to try it. Hope it's soon though 😁👊

Got a wasp Enzo. Tried loads of others Enzo comes out top. Gzk 20/12.... 72.... 8mm steel Can't fault it... Can't leave on a miss nor me 👍

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

I absolutely love the Enzo, best production frame out there 👌💥 I can't falt gzk tubes but never been a fan of the flat bands despite trying all colours and thickness. What sort of speed and longevity do you get from them? It's been almost 3 years since I used the green but recently cut up a load of white to try again, and using one band set I binned the rest 🙈🤣 Thanks for watching mate, really appreciate my subscribers and views 🙏👊 have an awesome day bro 👊

[@stu2427]

Haven't got speed trap but getting about 300 shots out of it and that's in all weather's rain cold. Use it every day. Haven't been into catapults long say year and half but loving it. Just bought my first jig so looking forward to making my own. Any suggestions on good bands to cut and format. Cheers

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

isn't bad, if that's from ready made bands and you like shooting it I'd recommend buying a roll of that to start off making your own. If you want to experiment a bit I'd recommend trying a .55 for 8mm steel at 20/12 and 22/12 you'll probably get roughly the same speed but the lighter draw could mean a bit more accuracy, .77 is really quite heavy for 8mm and heavy doesn't always equal more speed. But it all is personal preference and what works for you. Hope that helps mate. 👊

[@liberte.3.6.9]

Nice 👌 Next thing I have to do is learn to cut my own bands.

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

It can he a little fiddly learning to tie bit it isn't hard mate, the benefits of being able to cut and tie your own bands are brilliant and it's well worth it 😁👊 if you need any help when you give it a go drop me a message and I'll help if I can 👊

[@liberte.3.6.9]

​@@rowlandoutdoors5992 appreciated 🙏👌

[@kai_lemke]

nice review 👌🏻😎 i have had it a bit ago...and to be honest im not a fan of it...the durability of my complete roll was relly bad...maybe you can give us an update after a few bandsets 👌🏻

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Thank you mate 👊 just had my first band set snap at around 340 shots, not to disappointed considering 70% of them was in the cold. I'll give a few more sets a go and let you know how it is going then 👍👊

[@kai_lemke]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 340 is ok...not good...but aso not bad...we will see what happens after a few bandsets 👌🏻😎

[@Dan_the_Catty_Man]

Awesome vid mate.. shame about the 100% but easy to move on👍🏼 That can just wasn’t playing ball, great shooting again though boyo fair play to you🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

It is a shame but onwards it is 👌 after using this band today he may have done me a favour even if I am 70 down 🤣🤣 Certainly had my moneys worth out of that can 😁🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Awesome review and nice shooting 👍(I changed my channel name, this is robertpatton)

Thanks mate, and thank you for watching 👊 I thought I was subscribed to you but just checked and I wasn't 😭 I am now though 😁😁 hope your well and shooting lots bro 🤘💥👊

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 Awesome, brother. Thanks for the sub. 👍 👊

[@larryguinn8969]

Loved the video and I have a strange request. I purchased a catch box that appears to be identical to the one you are using but haven’t figured out how to put the thing together. Would you be so kind as to make a video showing how you got all the frame hardware installed?

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Thanks for watching mate 🙏👊 is the metal frame stitched into the material in yours? On this one it is which is good but I can't take it out or get the camera inside while assembling to show it properly, if it is the same it's just a case of using the 4 pieces of metal, bottom, top, front and back to form a cube inside. If that doesn't help I'm at a loss, I did try to film's inside but I only have my phone and it doesn't really show anything up as I'm trying to move the wires about 🙈

[@larryguinn8969]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 I tried assembling the loose wire pieces inside the cloth box but they are too large to fit properly. You would think there would be Velcro straps to hold the frame in place (if you could get them to fit) but not so! A piece of junk!!

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

@larryguinn8969 they are tight and takes a bit of force to get them in mate, cable ties work well to hold it all, but it wouldn't hurt the makers to stitch in some velcro straps at all, it would be a good upgrade 👍👊

[@larryguinn8969]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 I solved the problem. Tossed it in the garbage and purchased an arborist throw rope bag.

[@Lonewolfcattyplinker]

Should not have any problem with that .5, i like it,,

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

I'm loving how light it is, and I think I'll get a lot of shots with this active length, going to shorten a set of band sets and compare longevity against speed over time 😁 good to see you back mate 🙏👊

[@Lonewolfcattyplinker]

@@rowlandoutdoors5992 i get good longevity didn't with 1,st.but.now am on 380 maybe 1st lot was my fault

[@SlingshotSelwyn]

Well I learnt last night that latex isn’t in season. The tree that produces it can’t be harvested this time of year and many manufacturers struggle and get more money from latex gloves.

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

I learned it just a couple of weeks ago, I know it was harvestd but didn't really realise or think how in demand it is throughout so many industries. Might be a good time to buy shares in latex 🤣🤘💥

[@michaelvana2457]

Hello Rowland great video as allways,nice work, anyways i like 100% too, and just out of curiosity and because im from the czech republic just like Jan Novak, im prety interested in what your problems and interactions with him were? If you want to tell me of course. Because he is the only suplyer in our country so im interested in your honest opinion, if you tell me of course. (my experience with him is that he is not answering emails and questions just nothing) Sory for my eanglish and thanks and happy shooting.

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Hi Michael and thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙏 I ordered off Jan weeks ago, for a week he ignored my message asking for tracking info then told me it should have arrived. A week later it still hadn't arrived, he ignored my messages again and wasn't able to give tracking info, after almost 3 weeks he then said he posted it to tue wrong place, still couldn't provide tracking for that but showed me that he posted over 2 weeks later with a new tracking. It was taking ages to come so I questioned him again, he ignored me so I opened a dispute with PayPal. Then he blocked me on all social media and won't reply to emails, parcel arrived in UK a month after I ordered but he posted in a way that required me to pay a further 21 gbp so I refused and it was returned. I've had no refund and I'm 71 euro out of pocket and don't even know if I'll get anything. I wouldn't trust him, he is a liar and didn't post the package the first time and that's why he couldn't provide tracking. I'm done with 100% and moving forward with a smile despite all the problems. Hope you are good and well brother. Stay safe and shoot straight 🙏💥👊

[@michaelvana2457]

Ok so he is mostli ignoring, dont wory he ignored me too XD,but you know it is a shame because the product itself is very good in my opinion. But at least this gives you the oportunity to explore this wast see of other slingshotbands and brands nowadays. Cheers.

[@rowlandoutdoors5992]

Mostly lying, he is not an honest man. It is a shame because the latex is amazing. But I won't buy it or recommend it or him to anyone again 👍👊
