- SimpleShot Pro Tip. All about Latex.
Latex. It's what drives slingshots. The slingshot is just the fork that holds the most important piece: the latex.
And not all latex is created equal. There are many kinds of latex out there. Different thicknesses, different resistance to elements, varying colors and dimensions.
Yep, with so many options out there, we're giving you an overview here of what to look for and what to avoid.

Good video, I can remember when my Grand-paw had his service station way back in the 1950’s and someone would come in with a flat tire and if they had a tube made of RED Rubber he would replace it just to get the tube made of red rubber for slingshots he made on the side.
Yes, the modern slingshot latex has came a long way since then!
I love and appreciate this new series guys! Keep ‘me coming.
Thanks for the great info! Love the video series!!
just found this series/channel this week and though its been on the 'Tube' for a few years now, I have been learning bucket loads every time I open the channel up. I hope you are still updating and continue to put out these great informational pieces.
Thanks for your support! It is our pleasure.
Thanks a million for th knowledge, generorsity and for being humble.
My grate uncle was on tv because he was so good with a slingshot, but he used lineman gloves for his slingshot rubbers. I can not get a hold of that type of glove to make the strips anymore. What would be close to it?
Awesome thank you for the tips.
Happy to help!
Good helpful info , awkward right side camera angle
So do you still prefer the tubes for shooting arrows out of the hammer or would you gain more speed with the flats? Of course too if you are able to hunt in your state they normally require a 40# draw weight, maybe the flats can’t get there like the tubes can, your thoughts
Thanks enjoying my two hammers
Those tubes hit hard. They are our choice to send out to customers. But of course, our savvy customers will build their own to suit. :)
So it's been a while since your black latex came out, what are the feedbacks ? If it performs as good as the natural latex and is UV resistant, doesn't it make it the best material out there ? I mean better than TB Gold ? I just broke my last set of TB, and I'm looking forward to buy something new (we don't have much choice here in France)
Thanks in advance for your answers :)
TBG is great. There's no question. But we would indeed say that our black is superior to TBG. :)
We've gotten plenty of positive feedback on it. 5-star average review: simple-shot.com/diy/simpleshot-black-latex/
SimpleShot Shooting Sports Wouldn't you consider a partnership with some european retailer (like Joerg idk) for your black latex ? I really want to try it out but the shipping costs are just too much, and I'm sure a lot of people are in my case in Europe... I think you might be missing a market opportunity here !
We totally understand. We hate that international shipping.
You can buy from our friends here - www.proshotcatapults.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=85&page=2 - from the UK!
Super bands Nathan sir
Thanbk you!
@@simpleshot Nathan sir I want highest quality Tubular bands
I wonder if Edward Lee Thorndike, who was the initiator of the theory of "trial and error", was a slingshot shooter !
I am not sure who was the initiator.
Where can you purchase pure amber latex?
Not certain as it is hard to find due to covid.
Hello sir, just ordered a slingshot that I think might do for me. I ordered the
Professional Stainless Steel Slingshot, LANREN High Velocity Catapult Powerful Hunting Sling Shot with Wrist Support and Quality Rubber
from amazon
I just seen your show now looking for tips to save ammo.
I wonder if you might have some advice for someone new to the game. I am also hunting grouse and rabbit if possible and in cold cold weather.

i also bought some 3/8 ammo
Mate, that slingshot is ASS
Theoretically How fast can you get latex to fire a projectile ? ..what velocities can be achieved please?
It depends on the ammo but myself personally (this is Adam responding) have broke 500fps with 1/4" steel ammo and semi butterfly. I have broke 400fps with 3/8" steel ammo and semi butterfly. This is severely over-banded and does not go over 100 shots per set. I do not know what can be done at full butterfly. The longer the draw the more speed can be produced.
@@simpleshot Thats incredible! ...i dont shoot Butterfly but understand that the longer the distance is the faster the shott should travel ..but 400 is a really impressive speed!
Bring back 40 the best
where can I find latex
We prefer simple-shot.com. :) :) :)
Yes me not from america me from macedonia
SimpleShot ships to Macedonia. :)
Sir i want most powerful slingshot rubber tubes please please please give me
The most powerful tubes are found on big box store slingshots or on the rubbish sold on Amazon. Those tubes are so strong you'll be shaking like a leaf trying to pull them back and won't be able to hit a thing!
If you are looking for velocity, don't look for the most powerful rubber, look for the best tuned bands. The simple tubes we sell shoot like lightning but don't have an outrageous draw weight!
@@simpleshot thanks
Sir Please give me ur phone number
Number give me sir
s sir want hig elasticity slingshot rubber tubes in low thickness please sir give me
