This is exactly the way and the same theory I have while trying pouch on with amber belt. I laughed when I you first mentioned it mark
Neat trick with the amber belt. Going to try! Thanks brother! 👊
Hey brother let me know how it works out for you.
I really enjoy your videos they're very helpful as I am a total beginner I've never tied bands before in my life I like the way you do things!
I'm glad you find the videos useful. Thanks for the kind words.
Funny you mention it i have exactly the same issue with my Bands snapping right at the tie point of the pouch..Its a right pain in the ass!
Better than at the frame end…that can be a pain in the eye
@@squidgy6930 Aye your Right there Pal !👍😆😆
I have switched to cotton butchers twine 1mm thick and it is the best I have found by far. Constrictor knot for the win.
Really enjoying your clips. I’m learning a lot of useless things.
I use amber belt , i do wrap and tuck ,2 then 4 over the tuck , easily over a thousand shots on each set before failing , great stuff
You do wrap and tuck with amber belt? I never thought of that.
@@ATOMark yes easy anough , stays neat and tidy , keep the amber belt flat as your wrapping and it doesnt cut into bands 😉
Been trying to figure out a great slingshot for a beginner to use that’s quality yet accessible for Canadians
The scout lt is great for a beginner and pro. I highly reccomend that frame. It can shoot ott or ttf, it is a quality build and customizable. One of my favorite frames.
Can't wait for the series finale. The pinching tool is called a hemostat. In surgery, it's used to pinch off bleeding blood vessels, grab tissue, etc.. Great content, my friend.
Thanks brother. Hemostat!!!!!!!! I could not remember that for the life of me. Lol
I’m a new ie to slingshots but I have a degree in chemistry and worked in the materials testing industry. That said…
If the belts are ‘getting hard’ it might be that you are wrapping the belts to the point that you are exceeding the limit limit of the material. And looking at the way you wrap that stuff, it looks very likely that this is the case. Now maybe it has to be the case with that material in order to handle the stresses on the ‘joint’. But you might want to back off to where you are leaving some stretch in the wrap material.
Thanks for sharing.I was having problems also but now and tried your method.And I have to say much better and no issues almost 300 shots just a little slippage but that's OK.Thanks again for the info.👍
I have enjoyed your video and I have learned a lot from you! Thank you!
Looking forward to the comparison seeing the results of the different band tying, I’m almost getting obsessed as you 😂😂
Oh man you are in big trouble if you are lol
@@ATOMark lol only been in to my catapults Approx 4/5 weeks have about 5 frames and more on order lol got my GZK hammer pro today but got home after dark so couldn’t try out, I’m a tad disappointed as the thumb screw for the sight adjustment inside the frame doesn’t work there doesn’t seemed to be thread for right hand use? and just turns 😞 so cant use the sight I bought the extra u sight as well. Will email Gzk tomorrow.
@@dennishilton5365 those are supposed to be for right or left hand use. He should fix it. Don't shoot it just incase he wants you to return it.
If the screw is screwed up its his fault or who ever sets them up because they come assembled.
Excellent video and very much looking forward to your results in the next one.......Thanks for posting!
My pleasure buddy. I can't wait to play with that chrony
@@ATOMark Yeah they are fun. I have an older model I used to use to dial in my airguns for HFT use.
@@ATOMark Some #'s for comparison.60 Precise band (14-22mm taper) shooting 8mm =237ft/sec. avg. Same band on 9.5mm = 216ft/sec. avg.
Great tips thank you ! , Cant wait to see which one last the longest i think that will be interesting. i definitely agree with the rolled edges it should help take the bite out of the edge!
Good job vicar!
Thanks buddy!
Awesome idea .... I have had failures there also. I will try that.
Let me know how it works out for you. When I use belt attachment this is how I tie it.
Great video as always very informative 👍
Thanks brother
Great video. I see you watched catty shack. Wayne Martin is the main man. His catty the evo is outstanding. Im patiently waiting on the new evo with clips. Keep up the great work man
Yup I saw his video and it cleared things up for me. I had made bands nice and neat and found that they didn't last as long as the ones I had wrapped carelessly. I saw that they had rolled over but wasn't sure if it made a difference. Wayne's video confirmed my suspicions. I just bought an evo and then saw that this one with the clips was coming out........ oh well I will just have to get another one and figure out what to do with the old one.
@@ATOMark keep up the great videos pal.
@ Hi ATO. Did you do a vid showing how well all three worked?
No but I did use them all for a good 5 or 6 band sets and I landed back at Cristal string.
Thumbnail tip...worth the price of admission! Wrapping the first few without tension makes a lot of sense thanks. I have those pouches..do they soften up with use?
Yup they really do. The more you shoot them the better they get. I love those pouches they have to be my favorite..... they do take a while to break in though.
@@ATOMark I used your thumbnail measure tip a few hours ago. As far as those pouches....a bit small for what I shoot which is 8-9mm clay balls. sometimes 10mm .what size are you shooting with them? does "break in" mean soft?
I am kind of a newbie although I shot a lot as a kid...might I ask..do you prefer smaller or larger pouches? I can shoot with both but its so much easier to put the ammo into a larger pouch...any other considerations other than weight? I kinda match the band to the pouch...small pouches with lite and thinner bands, bigger pouches with thicker and heavier bands.
I shoot 9.5mm steel and bought the pit locating pouches for this size. When they soften up they are great.
Ok I gotta try it...cause I always have to check and makes sure my pouch and ammo are aligned before i shoot.
you have tried and used just about everything except the crazy glue ;-) i'm getting desperate enough to give that a try.can't seem to find amber belt. i'm not risking Alibaba after being ripped off 4 times in one month.
Snipersling my man. Give them a try
@@ATOMark THX- I tried but i keep getting delivery not supported to houston. maybe somebody got shot at or something. I got few from simpleshot. good guy there.
Great idea, results will be very interesting. Good luck with keeping count.🙂
Great vids your time is appreciated 👍
Lol ya I am not looking forward to counting all those shots. But it should be cool to see the results.
Great video I am having this problem also. What is a good website to order all this stuff from?
Snipersling, slingshooting.com, gzk, wasp, cattyshack catapults ,simpleshot. These are the places I mostly buy from.
If been doing this with, the different, simpleshot black, so far I've shoot .5, .6 and point 7.
I:ve averaged between 8oo and a thousand, shoots per set of bands. And averaged between 250 and 280 .
Are them bands taperd or just normal.
Tapered 25 -20
thanks
My pleasure man
Myyyyyyyyy guyyyyyyy unoooo
Whats the matter?
ATO love your videos brother keep it up
what taper recommend using 10mm steel
25-15 or 25-18 is where I would go.
@@ATOMark think using duble therow 23/18
I would still go to 15mm on the pouch end.
@@ATOMark all give try
Your using lots of pre-stetch. I found if I use less than 1/2 inch the belt doesent cut into the bands. The bands sometimes slip out at the pouch....after hundreds of shot....but thats an easy fix.
I will give that a try. I stretched longer because I was having failures with the band slipping out. That stopped it but also caused another problem. I guess I need to find the sweet spot.
Cool Man. I like your content, and await more content. I use GZK 25-20 as well. I have also been using a light set up: Precise .45, 20-14, 7mm steel. Thats set, and I hope it stays that way for a while.
Hey man, im so frustrated, that i even checked out in this vid, if i do the amber belt tie worng...
My Bands always fail after around 100 shots. And when i say "bands" i mean my lower band at the inside around 1 inch in frost of the pouch. I didnt find enges or sharp parts at the fork. Usually they have always failed at the pouch (like they should)... i shoot the GZK Crazy power mini, also shoot it without the aiming sights, since i thoughts it comes from it.
since its always the lower band, its not that my bands dont fit with the 8mm steel balls.
Do u have any idea?
shooting BsB yellow 0.6, GZK black and green 0.58 18-10-200 with a drawlenght of 95 cm
its strange, i had a long breake, around 3 years, back then i used TBG with another slingshot and never had those problems
The one thing I would check is that you didn't max out the bands. The bottom one breaking all the time could be your draw. For me it is always the top that goes first. I had a similar problem once and it was because I was stretching my bands too much in the band tying jig. I was maxing them out and it was damaging my bands. I was lucky if I got 100 shots out of them. Then I stretched them less in the jig and it went away. Still I have the top band break first all the time but it is how I do my draw. It puts more stress on the top band until I am extended. This is why my band on top pops first. You should also check your roller cutter blade aswell
@@ATOMark Wow Brother, thank you for your super fast response! I realy appriciate that!
U said i didnt max out my bands? i guess this wont help right? i could go with 2 cm less but then the should fail even faster.
The stratching with the jig could be a problem, ill test that out.
i also often get scratches in front of the part were i stretch the bands in the jig, thats the thing i dont understand. well ill get a new rollcutter monday, ill let u know :)
@@gabiva5696 don't go shorter it will make it worse. I would check the jig and the roller first. Could just be a bad roll of elastic. That has happened to me before.
I did a video a while back on how I make bands. In the video I show how to check max elongation. Then when I make bands I just add a little for longevity.
