- In this video I test Gzk Green .50 and GZK Black .50 (anti cold) in -16°c weather to see if the cold weather bands will do what they claim they do. Also I have tested these 2 bands before in summer so we will compare the summer speeds with the winter speeds. Both bands were tested with the Casper from Prime Fork Catapults
check out the prime fork Line up.

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting bro while we sit by our stoves picking up this great info......a great presentation as always....keep well man
My pleasure man. Stay warm and safe brother.
Awesome video and information Mark! I haven’t used any cold weather bands yet even though I have some that GZK sent me. It doesn’t get near as cold here in the southern US as there. It’s -5 C here now. Thanks for getting cold to let my know that cold weather latex will probably not be any benefit to me especially where I live. Stay safe and warm brother. 👊🍻
Thank you .🙏🏾
love these video’s
I really thought cold weather bands were better than this. I think I will just go up a size in winter and not buy cold weather bands at all.
You did a great job, testing them in that weather.
Thanks man.
Good video these data are always interesting. Thanks a greeting and good shots🎯💥⬇️🤙
Thanks man
Great stuff!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
My pleasure.
Great stuff ATO good information there thanks for testing for us!
My pleasure brother. How you hanging in over there man?
@@ATOMark Its ok the vaccine seems to be working well as more roll out gets up to speed still a lot of people trapped at home and getting kind of squirrelly!
Looks like it will be the end of this year or early next year before the vaccine is ready for us. Glad to hear things are turning around over there.
Good job, shooting in such cold weather without wearing gloves, very brave ye are!
Thanks man my buddies say its my super power.lol
Great informative video thanks stay safe 👍
It has been freezing here too and my go to cold weather bands are simpleshot black. It was 19 ° F or -13 °C today and they did very well. I hate cold weather shooting but we have to do it if we want to keep the skill.
The cold isn't the only problem this time of year. The short days keep me from shooting too. I have some work to do to get back to the level I was at before winter.
Good info
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
In winter here in UK I just shoot .55 and when it gets warmer switch to .45 for target. I don't really buy into cold weather bands.
Great content enjoy watching. Keep it coming mate 👍
After testing out 2 brands and the regular versions out performed them both. I will never buy them again.
Nice test 👏👍
Your fingers seem to withstand the cold well
I do a lot of I've fishing. My buddies think it is my super power. I almost never wear gloves and sometimes I remove the ice from the holes with my hands. Lol I wish I could fly or have super strength but this super power is better than nothing I guess lol
Awesome vid Mark! I think the GZK orange might be even faster......Just a hunch. Thanks for posting!
I have some .54 on orange and green. I may need to try that out.
ty sir
My pleasure
Good video
Thanks man
Hello sir great video as always .much appreciated.. shooting 8mm lead target..I use thearaband gold what taper would you suggest.. thanks in advance Nathan Evans...
I would love to give you a proper answer but I only have a little experience with theraband and no experience with lead ammo. Any information I give you would only be a guess
@@ATOMark ok thanks anyway sir appreciate you answering nether the less...good day to you.Nathan.
You too Nathan. I will ask some buddies their thoughts and get back to you if I am able to answer your question correctly.
Would you prefer the black or green for hunting and shooting darts?? I've always shot the black flat bands and have been hearing the GZK green was the way to go, now that I've started shooting darts and hunting with them and seeing your video I still don't know which to go with lol.
Personally I don't like green it has a really heavy draw I would go with snipersling black. It has a lighter draw and it is faster.
Ok thanks! Is there a taper you prefer that gives you the best life along with decent speed to. Im just now getting into cutting my own bands and never used a taper before so I was curious? Thanks for getting back to me to I wasn't sure if I would get a reply since the video was posted awhile back lol.
What size ammo do you shoot?
Generally just 5/16 when I do shoot ball bearings. But I started shooting darts I got from snipersling a year ago or so. And then started making my own that are more lethal for hunting with more of a broadhead style tip.
thats crazy i have gzk black and green 6.2 and 0.66 and the black bands are a much stiffer draw than the green and i heard game keeper john say black was stiffer draw than green to
Maybe the .50 are different. I will be testing the .54 soon and see what we get. Actually I believe I put the draw weight in my summer video. I would have to go back and check.
@bill bob.....watching John Webb switch from his usual TBG to gzk green is what made me give them a go. I'm using green .80 at the minute. I bought 3x ready made sets at 24/19. But they're a bit too much for my preferred 9.5 steel. So I recut one set to 18/12 for the 9.5, and another set at 15/10 for 8mm steel. I was undecided about the gzk green cos I'd never used it before, but I've learnt that the .80 doesn't suit me. So I've orderd another set of green .66 20/12 to try out. I tried some .66 black last year for 8mm. I can't remember the exact cut, but they were skinny. I didn't Max them right out, but they hurtled 8mm. The only disappointment was the band life. All 4 sets started to give way just above the pouch after as little as 50 shots. The green appears to be tougher so far.
Great work Mark, very insightful video & respect to you for getting outside! Could I get your thoughts on the subject of wrap n tuck and clipped frames? I recently got a clipped Evo to go with my wrap n tuck one, so had the two banded up the same. I found that I was getting far more hand slap with the wrap n tuck one, which in the cold was painful enough to make me put it down. I know I was probably overpowered, band to amo, or maybe the set-ups were slightly different! But was curious whether it could be due to the bands travelling further over the frame with the wrap n tuck? Cheers
That could be it but it could also be that the wrap and tuck setup is using up more of the band at the attachment and it is stretching a little further. This would generate more speed. If you cut the same sized band for the clipped version you may be stretching less and therefor have less slap
@@ATOMarkThanks for your reply & thoughts, you could be right! I'll try making sure I get the exact active band length when I re-band.
Stay warm & keep posting 👍
You got it brother.
Do you sell slingshot to?
No I don't but maybe some day.
gzk yellow
Yup I reviewed orange and it performed excellent. Love those bands
Me and my son started a channel, (Chuckin Steel) go check it out. He wants some subs lol but we don't even have the right equipment yet, but we got it started. Your only the second person I told.
Send menthe link I'll sub
Hi! Your chronograph speed in what units of measurement does it show? feet, miles, or meters per second?
It will do feet per second and meters per second
@@ATOMark ok) Is this video in feet or meters? I want to calculate the energy of the shot)
@@_tetracycline_ feet per second
@@ATOMark Thank you!
