@@CatapultCarnageздоров Крис а precise 0.75mm как можно на охоту зайца???
Congrats on the little one mate!
Congrats on your baby!
It's like you're telepathic or something - I've just taken delivery of my first jig and band material (GZK green 0.62 of course) and was going to start cutting this afternoon. Top notch vid as always, Chris. Keep up the great work, sir! 👏
Thank you mate
Let me know how you get on
@@CatapultCarnage Went for 25/20mm taper with 180mm active length, using 9.5mm steel. I'm 6ft 3ins tall and have arms like an orangutan, so I've still got plenty of power! Really chuffed with the result. Thanks again for the vid and big congrats on the arrival of your little lady! 👏👍😁
@@TJ_into_the_wild thanks buddy we are just chilling out now watching comedy central lol
@@CatapultCarnageпривет скажите на охоты gzk band или precise 0.75 какой лучше???
My god amazing exactly what i was looking for thanks mate
Thanks! Very informative!
You're welcome
Cheers
My friend you have helped me a lot with this video🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I made a badass section of table for bandset build and tying that is removable from my workbench that folds up and tucks into my "weapons satchel" if need be. I was having such a good time making custom bandsets and badass double layered multi-type leather pouches for my current ammo situation which is 5mm bearings, 10mm bearings, .50cal ½" big steel balls, marbles, and real neat plastic beads id say about 9mm with a hole thru the center for kids to make necklaces from the craft shop, whats cool is due to that hole thru the center they make a intimidatingly horrific whistle type sound while in flight. They sound like the sound XF that would be used for a bow n arrow released by a marvel character.. wicked as hell sounding I thing and they fly true and fast with relatively light bands. Anyway I made 2 versions of each bandset one short anchor point draw, and one half butterfly long pull... About to go outside in a bit to raise war against some unsuspecting cans, bottles and whatever else gives me funny looks or any type backtalk lol
I use a cheep Freehawk tubular catapult off Amazon and it shoots great but i dont know exactly how fast my projectiles are going (.451&9mm) have thought about converting it to flatbands. 👍 thank you.
Chris, I'm in the u.s and I'm shooting a scout xt and a scout lt. 32 inch draw. As you have stated in previous video, I would like to shoot the same .66 gzk latex and modify band ratio based on projectile size 3/8, 7/16, or 1/2. Any basic information or where to look? Great videos and lots of good,well thought out shared information. Keep it up!!!!
Brilliant video as per usual Chris. Everything explained in great detail. Congratulations on your baby 👌👌 Mate
Thanks Frank
@@CatapultCarnage привет gzk или precise лучше???
@@CatapultCarnage ответ?
Would gzk .72 be ok for 8 mm lead weighing about 3 grams and what taper would you recommend
Congratulations on the baby girl.
Congrats to uz both,,,great vids bud
Thanks
Thanks for sharing knowledge on all this fella. Rolling 'other kinds of cigarettes' no idea what you mean' ;-)
😂😂😂
Good stuff mate
I’ve been using these green gzk bands and they keep snapping at the pouch, am I doing something wrong?
Awesome videos man! I am trying to make a sling shot gun and was wondering if you recommend these bands or the more tube style bands?
Thanks again!
At this Time I’m shooting a daisy tube slingshot. I want to order a band style sling shot how would one know if it’s ttf bands vs otf band ? Thanks in advance also I live in the states.
Can you link everything you use luke what's the cutting tool your using weres ya get the elastic string
I have a draw of 93cm and want to shoot 9.5mm or 1/4oz lead. What size, taper and thickness of band would you reccomend?
Ha green is my favorite color as well.
What cut would you use for 7mm steel? And can you hunt with 7mm? I've not seen any one talk about 7mm
Do you have a video how you explain how you site and be able to hit consistent
Congratulations on your new baby girl!
Hi Chris!
What size is the board you use to cut the elastic? I wanted to buy it online but I don't know what size to select (on aliexpres)
Like i said mate banging Jig ... easy and cheap and does the job well if you have dexterous enough fingers lol ......... great video mate
Thanks Russ
can i go hunting on Birds with a green gzk 62mm thik, banset and does she going down on a body hit ? if i cut the tapes just like you in your video
I'm still new in this catapult hobby. What's the ideal ammo to shoot with 0.66 GZK band?
What are the measurements you use to cut your garters and what caliber is the garter?
Thank you
Great video 👍
Me gustan las resorteras homie 👍
Hi I am an Italian boy passionate about slingshot, you are a, big, I use the Hammer TTF GZK with the 0.66 GZK Green elastic band I have a 800mm arm opening, you can give me an advice on the measures of the bands to use for hunting and shooting to the target, thanks greetings.
Hi pal. Great video. New to this so just a quickie. Getting green .66 GZK based on ya viid. I’ve got 65cm draw and going to be using 9.5 mm steel for hunting rabbits and pigeon inside 30ft. Got any idea of the taper please ? Thinking 20/15? Cheers
What taper you cut on this Precise 0.7 for 8mm steel?
I need that stencil for tapered bands.. Where you get it from mate
With the .66 using 8mm but could you still use 3/8
Where can I find those green Ott band sets from you Chris?
Excellent shooting! Are you using a point on your fork to aim, or just instinct aiming?
hello any link for the string you used?
thanks
thanks for the vid how much costs that rubber roll plz
Chris, do you shoo GZK .66 all year round for hunting m8.
When you cut tapers when cut can they be mixed up when cut ❤
how many mm thick did you buy the gzk tape?
Hi - Can you put the link where to buy the tools and template you used to have all bands cut and the pouch holder? Very good and informative video.
what thickness i should use for 9mm ball?
Any difference between flat top band vs Side band?
Let me ask you how much green gzk wire you are using. and size you are using?
Where did you get the rubber binding apparatus, man please tell me the address you received
Hi Chris,
Have
you ever tried Simple shot black? It's great latex, I use GZK .7 and Thera band gold, and simple shot black
.7. I think from my own experience that Thera band gold and Simple shot black have far better elasticity than GZK. What are your thoughts on this?
Nice one
Just a tip for you if you wanna sharpen them is snippers cut little strips of tinfoil this helps sharpening them
@@kroodle8 Cutting folded tin foil with scissors does indeed improve dull scissors... Try it before shedding doubt...
Excellent,Thankyou
Nice slingshot that one is Chris I will try and make that one wish me look
Thanks Chris
Can you get fiskers rotary cutters with titanium blades over there where you are? If so buy one the blades are lazer sharp and stay sharp for one hell of a long time!
Great shooting.. ferret thought he was going hunting lol
Mate I’m tying to buy a Titan ott.... please how can I buy one?
Good video m8! What's the difference between gzk green, yellow and black? And what do you think about precise 0.7? Cheers!
Its kinda like light, medium and heavy for yellow, green and black in that order but it's a little more complicated than that hard to explain
And the precise is ok but gzk is better imho
For hunting how many power in lbs we need?
Hi, I want to start shooting butterfly , i now shoot 7 1/2 tapered 1 inch to 3/4 and shoot 3/8 ammo 30 inch draw , what length of bands do I need
Thanks
Hi mate, what is the length of the template
Chris with 0.62 gzk green is a taper 20 to 15 alright for 8mm steel ?
Yes
Please, what is the thickness of the rubber,or didn't said or I passed it
What is the thickness of your rubber ?
what is the name of this frame what do you cut this rubber
Hi, Am just getting into this, I have got some pre made bands from aliexpress. I have since found out that they are ttf tied bands and my catapult is ott, will this make a great difference to my shooting? Also my shoots seem to go to the right a bit, any advice or should I just keep aiming to the left? I hold with my left hand.
Love the videos, learning a lot and just enjoy watching them. Congrats on the baby.
Hiya mate you've asked some good questions with no short answer. Your shots going left could be a number of things. Try adjusting your head tilt and or anchor point. Have a look at my aiming video
Also ttf bands aren't as easy to aim down ott but doesn't really make a difference to the actual shot. Also I'd recommend buying bands off HTH in the uk or Simple shot if you're in the states. Or try making your own
@@CatapultCarnage thanks for the advice, I'll try those tips, see if I can get some results with them. I'm going to try making my own band at some point, I'll definitely hit up HTH for the band rolls though. Cheers for taking the time to reply buddy..
Where do you get GZK?
hey chris...glad to meet you. i need to buy the bands that you show. i from venezuela in Barinas state.
NICE BRO
What is That for a slingshot?? Brand?? Modell??
Hi Chris ,,am I stupid? When you say divide draw length by 5.5 for your band length, does it not depend on thickness and band width?
No mate. But you can always alter the cut and length to suit. I stick to 5.5 always
Hello, what is the name of this cutting ruler?
Hi Chris. Be interested to know what speed you get with 8 mm and they gzk green. Thanks, Harry
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Please send a link?
So cool.
Tanks
👍👍👍🌷
nice
You can kill also a squirrel with this gzk setup with bodyshots?
👌👌👌👌👍👍
Have you ever tried lubricating the bands with Vaseline or some other oil based product to prolong the life of the bands?
Я пробовал. Эффект положительный
Poštovanje. Kako se zove taj nož za sečenje silikonske gume? Neki link gde se može poručiti ?!
I was making the other type of Rollie just is u said that 😂😂 good video though
