Haha! No just tinkering, it was just a goal to see what is possible. It was too heavy for me to really shoot accuratelty. Extreme wide 3/2 tapers for the win! Thanks Ato! Will be posting a short draw no holds barred experiment for 11mm next on fb.
Hey my friend I just recieved my blue 15 Gallon barrel for cutting up into a catchbox like you did on yours. GRAINGER sells them for all differant prices, I bought one of the cheaper ones for 84 dollars with tax, and delivery cost. Now I just have to cut it and hang some targets and towels inside to stop ammo from flying out. I know I could have probably found a used one but for the money it was worth it to me.
Hello Mark, I've seen some of your reviews on bands, tapers and ammo types, but i'm new at using slingshots and was hoping you can guide me. I like to make my own band sets but seeing that I live in Laval, Quebec, and the winter weather can get pretty cold, I can't figure out what band make, type, and thickness to purchase, as well as what taper and what ammo size to use. I have a draw length of 28 inches and would like to be able to shoot steel balls that will penetrate both sides of a tin soup can. any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I am shooting .50 omega slings electric white and Olympus Green these days and it is fantastic latex for 8mm steel. Can you tell me what size ammo you plan to or are currently shooting?
@@ATOMark I will be using 10 mm and 11 mm ammo. does the pouch size make a difference? What bands, taper, and band thickness can i use to penetrate a tin soup can? I'm trying to avoid having to purchase a bunch of different bands to achieve my goal, so anything you can help me with, would be appreciated.
@@ATOMark thank you for the link but I already seen this video, but it doesn't answer my question as to what to use so i can get enough energy to fully penetrate a tin soup can. is there a way that we can talk? instead of messaging back and forth?
@costasrodaros I would use snipersling.8 South wales cattys.75 or 100% .8 with a taper of 25-15 or 25-20 and as long as you tune them properly like in the video I sent you you will get plenty of speed for this with 11mm steel.
Ok let me take a picture of it before I cut it up to send you a picture, it is a 15 gallon blue container and when I decide to do it il send you the final picture my friend.
I'm drinking my morning coffee and watching ATO shoot. Life is good.
Awesome I hope we didn't disappoint.
Great watch great shooting and great reviews as always, thanks ATO
same with .6... great stuff.. n wild life out of it.. .6 white feels even heavier than the green...
Great video sir, makes me want to do a video on my catchbox! Always great content! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks bro
Hi from germany 👍😃🍺I really like your videos. I'm always very entertained 👍😃

Wow thats some fast 11mm steel. You hunting deer with that.lol

Nice send me a pic when you are done. I would love to see your setup. I am hoping to find one around 15 gallon to replace the one on my fence.
thanks for always testing it out for us so we don't have too!
I will do some full reviews once it warms up some more.
@@ATOMark sounds good brother
👍
Always good information and videos mark ‼️
Thanks buddy
Good stuff as always. Drill them targets Brofiger.
Thanks bro.
Spot on brother 👊🏻
Thanks my friend!
no luggage scale to judge draw weight? no chrono? no tears has what got my attention.
I will do a full review soon. I just need it to be a little warmer to show the true potential of the elastic.
Nice shooting and review. What is your normal ammo size you shoot?
8mm
Great vid, where can i buy the pheasants head from? Im just waiting for a titan from chris
Rgds steve uk
The one I knocked over was from slingshooting.com. the one in the catchbox Omegaslingsusa.com
The titan hunter came in the other day and it's a great frame. What taper you got on there
24-12
Another frame I got that is great to shoot is the ninja from feral slingshots.
Awesome shooting
