THERABAND GOLD, HOW TO MAKE & ATTACH CATAPULT / SLINGSHOT ELASTIC

[@paoloi1]

John, thanks for sharing. You're a gentleman and a scholar! lol. I love it when someone cares about what they are doing and are willing to share with others.

[@hampshirehunter]

Nice one Bud, as you say, all you need to know about TheraBand. I noticed you wet the string/band a little, so its easier to pull through.

[@ShooterOnTheRock]

I wish all “instructional” KZbin videos were a quarter as clear, succinct and useful as this one was! Good on ya’ mate! Cheers. 💯😉🍻

[@joeywoggles2048]

Brilliantly explained & demonstrated. Thank you. 😃

[@alexross7311]

I bought some bands of the net and was shooting all over the place 😩 After watching one of your vids about the importance of tying the pouch on properly I had a look at mine. They were quite wonky, put together with no attention to detail. Put some others on which were tied uniformly and instantly huge improvement 🤗 Going to start making my own from now on. Thanks pal !!!!

[@Jae-dw]

Excellent easy to understand video. I was a little Leary of using bands as I've never made a slingbow,but after this I see it's very simple. Thx!!!

[@joeymessina7320]

Thank you so much, I've been looking for a video that shows you how to attach a pouch to the band's, this video helped me so much

[@mxman585]

that band rigging jig is really cool! u should definitely do a how to video on that, would be great for everyone in the slingshot community. great video like always, thanks

[@Chiselfield]

Great stuff ! exactly what i've been looking for as i've just ordered some o' those gold bands and didn't fancy losing my an eye, cheers mate !

[@stephendrummond7885]

John my family are gamekeepers in Dumfries you've showed me some great tips love the vids mate I watch them all

[@tankosl]

that's great!!! I've got a Hunter and so far haven't needed to change the band's but now I'd be happy to give it a go!!!! the string loop is a great idea.....

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@pfshooter thanks, the catapults were from my old range, they are now made from multiplex, the bands are tapered and the pouches are different, thanks john

[@williamkristopik3519]

this is honestly sutch a big help. thank you very much!

[@Pappa.D]

Now I really learned from watching this vid, so a sincere thank you from me!

[@budotradd]

Good video very well explained

[@sasuke0447]

Man I have been looking for a video like this for forever it helped out so much thanks

[@landus94]

Nice collect of slingshots :) Bronze body with gold bands... Just beautiful! :) Greetings :)

[@luisalbertohernandezdiaz2247]

Congratulations, very edificant. Thank you. No se hablar inglés pero gracias me sirve bastante para hacer mi resortera o slingshoot, saludos from México.

[@alfred17cc]

very helpfull thabks, im making my lad a catapult and now know how to attach elastic, cheers.

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@AlanRogerBarrett yes mate, theraband gold is the most powerful elastic available, i use it to hunt rabbit and pheasant no problem

[@1-0totheOrient]

That was a sublime bit of tuition.

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@Gatewrights hi there, yes they all get send with the bands measuring 25cm each side (not incliding the pouch) i use the bands this long myself and have taken lots of pheasant and rabbit , however i will cut them to whatever length the buyer wants, all the best john :)

[@saintsfisherman]

just put bands on my first slingshot ever and it seems to work. Thanks you very much!

[@Foxfire-traditional]

Nice and clean looking

[@patrickmurphy9266]

Excellent demo .

[@elira67]

very informative video, thanks, i cant wait to start making one...

[@romanlorenz5109]

It's a good Video. It helps me a lot

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@versatilechicken do you mean the rig? yes i will do a how to make vid on that because theres a few people asked me that, give me a couple of days

[@doubleboost]

Great well made video It sounds like you have a "triffid " behind you

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@spike25blue i did put a video on with the measurements, thanks john

[@saintsfisherman]

This was amazing! thank you very much! Step by step and didn't skip anything. I just got into slingshot/catapult and aim to be good enough to hunt and kill an animal (rabbit) by November of next year. The only reason is that is the time a year that I hunt for the deep freezer and I will not trust my aim enough this year. I dabble in woodworking and I made my own slingshot/catapult and I aim to put two bands of gold on it just like this video. I am going to make my own lead balls as well. I ordered a .531 inch/13.5 mm mold and I fear that I have gone to big. (I would rather a larger ammunition choice since I am new. I made my slingshot/catapult out of three pieces of "top choice white wood" from Lowe's that I glued together. You seem to be a expert in this craft (in my opinion.) I am just wondering 1) is my wood choice correct or should I not shoot it 2) are two gold bands the correct choice 3) should I shoot the 13.5 mm or did I go to big. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and love your videos!

[@pfshooter]

Very neatly done.

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@boozedleader i did cut them at 30cm long by 2cm wide, but when i release my new multiplex range in around 3 weeks time i will taper the bands and shorten them so they are more powerful at a easier and shorter draw, john :)

[@pedroblom3684]

Thank you!

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@Gatewrights hi there, i dont stain them, thats the natural colour of sapele wood, i just give them a coat of varnish to protect them damp/wet etc, :)

[@carlj1620]

How often do they need replacing buddy? I’ve just bought one of your catapults btw. Cheers

[@GKJ-FISHING]

@handyandygsxr hi, i tried using a razor blade before i got the rotary cutter & to be honest it made a mess of the theraband, scissors are ok but you have to be realy neat because it will tear if its not in a perfect line, for best results use a rotary cutter, they are around £5 each on ebay, if you are making more than 1 catapult it would be worth you getting 1, I have tried using the tapered bands and the strait bands and carn't tell the difference between them, john

[@Shooter4829]

great vid mate, i have to make me 1 of those band holders. when i put my bands on it takes for ever to attach it with just my 2 hands.

[@handyandygsxr]

Hi great video, I recently got some theraband gold from e bay and want to make a sling shot, can I cut the band with a razor blade? and is it better to cut the band wider at one end and fold it in half length ways like some other people on You tube?

[@iimunkzz1234]

Thank you for posting the video. I just attached my bands to pouch and catapult. I cut my strips of band at 11 inches. What length do you cut your bands? Thanks.

[@SMELLTHEBULL]

Does cutting on glass like this not dull the rotar on your cutter?

[@Gatewrights]

One more question do you send them all out with the same length bands? And what is the standard length you cut them?

[@sasuke0447]

One more question how do you make everything perfectly even like both sides of the elastic connected to the pouch are the same length and when you are attaching the bands to the fork it is even how do u do that?

[@MultiTheMightyOne]

do you have to have a rotary cutter? can't i use scissors or an X-acto knife?

[@englishpatriot1446]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

Won't cutting on glass dull the rotary cutter blade very quickly?

[@Gatewrights]

Hi Love the video. What do you stain and finish your catapults with as they look great ?

[@spike25blue]

Hi John did you ever do the how to video for the jig? As I can't find it buddy Rob

[@mircea01ify]

how do you cut the leather and how do you make holes in it?please answer!

[@sasuke0447]

Awesome vid one question can you make a video on how to properly taper the bands and how it helps and what it does but I'm on my iPod and I accidentally flagged the video so sorry bout that I dont know how to take it back but I am liking the video and please respond thanks

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

VERY NICE. What is the wood pecker on the audio?

[@Zuconja]

Camera auto focus is not working properly.

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

Thanks. Noisy buggers those in camera motors.

[@THATHATSALLFOLKS]

[@winstontalaman6363]

Sir? I am a quite fan of your videos and i like slingshots very much since i was a kid and living in a mountain part. May i ask you now sir if what should i say or look in shoppee for thera band gold that will suit perfectly for a slingshot? I mean, what is the name exactly of the band that i will look for and what color is the best. I am planning to make my own slingshot sir. Hope you see this and will help me. Thank you so much!😊

[@aquabomber]

Thank You for this video.....!!!!

[@pterking5]

I too am wondering where you get TB

[@versatilechicken]

[@WorkingClass69]

Do all the catapults you're selling come with theraband gold?

[@disolvr]

where do you get the wooden handles?

[@jackquinton585]

Wats happinin with min because when I put it on the fork I pull back and it just comes out

[@manuellabarca4406]

[@kpaxmo]

@OLDMANSBALLBAG of course, use string to complete the knot why didnt i think of that well done

[@Ravi-ue8iw]

[@freqeist]

[@Hacker7763]

[@ekkkkkknoes]

What can I do if I don't have a rotary cutter available?

[@thaidozy]

Use a box cutter with a steel ruler for a guide.

[@thedragonsmith1]

Thank you for the video

[@هستره606]

وين احصله

[@Vinnytreacle]

Hey john i know this sound silly but do you think a pizza cutter would work. P.S its david coombs off facebook

[@SkullCrafter]

I would suggest the length at around 25cm

[@mag2670]

what is the name of the cutter?

[@jordanlobospizarro4148]

Como se llama ese elastico ?

[@justinjara7180]

Se llama El Thera band gold

[@TheOneproudmeximan]

What's the length

[@connorshenton1989]

Ebay or Amazon

[@jigmesam]

Thumbs up if you got "once, twice, three times a lady" stuck in your head watching this video.

[@Ulfhednar-o9t]

I must say that i'm concerned about how solid the atachment to the catapult is.... Let's just all remeber to wear safety gloves while using a slingshot

[@هستره606]

Sheila said all the cables and I'm a Bob

[@Blaphtome]

Sounds like you've got the Predator filming this.

[@DustyJumpWing]

Ebay has good prices.

[@chaudhryalligood599]

I've found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for every single project I think.

[@هستره606]
