- in this video, I will test and review Sumeike .5 slingshot bands.
I will test the draw weight at 30 inches with maxed out bands.
Penatration test on a soup can.
Speed test through a chrony!
All tests will be done with 8mm and 9.5mm steel ammo.
you can find sumeike bands almost everywhere. GZK, slingshooting.com to name a couple.

Awesome test bro, informative video, enjoyed it, definitely need to give sumeike a try. 👍
I'm learning so much! Thank you! I'm able to have more consistent practice shots from incredibly close. Right after I saw you show what to look for....I found a good oak fork and made a slingshot. I have a week wrist, but I think I can strengthen it with correct form. Sorry this is long. I appreciate you so much. Keep doing what you do. You're the best!
Thanks Deborah, don't be shy. If you have any questions shoot me a message. As you shoot you will become stronger. Start light and work your way up.
Good for you! I’ve found that the slingshot community is a great place to be regardless of your level of skill 👍 keep slinging steel and you’ll be golden 👌
Hi. Thanks for the video. It's also nice that the colors of my country are on the slingshot)))
I love this slingshot. The Smo makes great frames
Great video, Mark. I've been curious about those bands.
Good stuff
I told you those were awesome bands. They were my go to before i went to snipersling. Those speed spreads are awesome. 1 or 2 fps spread. Great video brother
They are good. I got some good life out of this set, too, for maxed out bands. I stopped useing them a while back because I was having wierd breaks. But I was shooting in cold weather. Like -15c+ degrees. Could have been that.
@@ATOMark it could be, I can't remember shooting them in extreme cold conditions
That frame is looking pretty sweet against the snowy background 😏😏
Man I love that frame. So fun to shoot.
great test brother and thanks for sharing🙂👍
Thanks bro. What bands do you shoot?
Just ordered some of eBay can’t wait for them to arrive 👍👍🇬🇧
They seem pretty good to me. I'm sure you will like them.
Nice job brother!
Thanks man
Great video! I always enjoy watching, very informative. I have Sumeike anti cold in .55. Do you have an idea what taper would get the same ish speeds as you got with the .5. Would something like 22-15 work? Ikn there’s a lot of variables.
Have you seen or used the sumeike candy pink .5 or any thickness in general as I haven’t seen one review on it and it looks similar to the championship winning pink
Big big fan of sumeike, feel like their underrated?
The orange .4 is just delish lol
I haven't tried the .4 only .45 and .5
I was hoping you would be doing the rivew in full butterfly style. But still l enjpyed your videos as always.
Ya I will be doing a video in the future comparing the speeds between long and short draw. It will be interesting to see how big the difference is.
Actually Sumeike are some of my favorite bands. Especially the .45 and .6
The .6 are heavier than most and give amazing feedback. My only problem is, that they lack a little bit of longevity. Not terrible, but I still switched to BSB White, which I think are overall the best band.
You should definitely try those two. I bet you'll like em.
I have tested BSB before. Good stuff. I think .45 are some of my favorite bands.
yup same here. i love the performance of them but longevity is def lacking
Bsb white .5 is the winner for me nearly maxed out it has good longevity very flat at 20m and has a smooth and easy draw also rips through both top and bottom of a beer can
@@Catty_dan_ jup BSB is great. Also try the .55. imo the draw at the same stretch factor is really much more but the max stretch seems to be higher. Which means you actually get better longevity, because you are not maxed. A soft draw, again, because you are not maxed. And a lot of speed.
❤👍👌✌👊
Just a bit cold eh?! Nice frame, love the colour.
Just a bit. Around 0ish. Not bad at all. We had a week of -40 this year. That was 🥶
How would you compare qualities of the .5 sumeike to .5 snipersling yellow?
Both are high performance bands. As for the longevity that's something you will have to figure out with bands cut the way you like them.
22/12 taper
what active band length u cut in this video mate?
I checked the max elongation which was 600% decided that by my draw length 30". That gave me 12.7.. I cut them to 14cm. 1 cm for pouch attachment and 4mm for forks which brings me to 12.6active. It is a tiny bit shorter than my draw but the bands do stretch out after a few shots. I don't reccomend cutting bands maxed out. You will get the fastest speeds but band life sucks.
Plz review sumeike 0.5 and 0.55 and 0.45 for 9mm and 9.5mm steel ammo.
I've already done .5 sumeike. I will check and see if I have .45. I will not be buying .55
I'm new to the sport and I'm wondering if I'm able to shoot 3/8s steel with snipersling .5 precut bands / pouches? I think it's 20/12 but the pouch seems much smaller than my simpleshot stock pouches for 3/8s
Also I love your videos! I've learned a lot in a very short time so thank you!
I am not a fan of pre cut bands because you can't experiment with the taper and band length. Do you draw to your face or longer? Usually, in China, they shoot 8mm steel, and they prepare their bands as such. The simpleshot pouches are huge, in my opinion. The bands are probably shootable but a good pit locating pouch is what I would recommend for 3/8" steel.
@ATO thanks for responding! I pull to my face but my arms are long so idk how much effect that has. I definitely jumped the gun on getting these out of excitement haha I also ordered the .6 and .7 precut to try out that haven't arrived yet but my main concern until I am able to make my own bands is the dreaded return to sender! Am I more likely to have this happen and or any other errors with 3/8s and this size pouch? If so I am okay with just shooting 5/16s until I get the right stuff... for now I just want to make sure before I hurt myself haha. So far I've been lucky with no fork hits or RTS after a few hundred shots on the simpleshot bands with 3/8s and I'm trying my best to avoid it in the future
You know I have never heard of or spoken to anybody who has had a return to sender before. I don't even know how that can happen. Have you ever had one?
@ATO I've never had one or known anyone who has I have only seen one video of it happening to someone who was using 1/2" very rusty steel ball and a nasty old band/pouch. I most likely am overthinking the whole thing and I just need to get out there and shoot! Really appreciate the help
I got some 0.5 20/15 as a freebie is it just me they seem a bit floppy do they need to be maxed out?
I didn’t think much of them, but everyone here seems to rate them, maybe judging them wrong
This is the problem with pre cut bands. Tapers, elongation, active band length, and pouch weight have a lot to do with ammo speed. It is really a good idea to make your own bands. With a little experimentation, you can find a good setup for any band for the most part. You never have to max out your bands. Think of it as a scale. One side is longevity other side is speed. The more weight you put on speed the less you will have in longevity and vice versa. You van never find this out with precuts. Unless you have experimented first and have them made to your specs. I have a few videos on making bands in some Playlist and why it is important to test elongation.
Sir, I see this video you use 24/12 tapper,my height is 6ft and my draw length is 84 ,and I have sumeike 0.55,gonchi green and white 0.55mm,and I use 25/17 tapper it is not smooth so,my question is according to my height and draw length which tapper would be best for me???and I use the frame goblet evo.i asking you for international tournament.
When I test my bands I always use 24-12 because it is the fastest taper I have tried. But I agree with you it isn't smooth. Normally I shoot 22-12. I like that draw much better. But I tune my bands for how I like them . You will have to try out a few setups and see what you like.
@@ATOMark but sir evo tips 25 mm,so how I use 24/12 or 22/12 ???
@Infinite Tutorial listen my friend. I am going to give you the best advice I can right now. You need to experiment. It is impossible for me to tell you what is right for you.
You have some zippy bands! Good to see you out in the cold! Ha Jack
Lol I'm hoping to get a few more videos done this weekend.
Estas bandas son mejores para cazar que las theraband gold o las de tubo
Sir ,which is best ?in your experience for terget shooting competition sumeike or gongchi white?
I prefer gong chi
@@ATOMarkbut why sumeike Is more light than gong chi?
When I tested sumeike and gongchi, gongchi was lighter 7.6lbs vs 9.2 for sumeike. I know I have said this to you before, but I will say it again. You can target shoot with any brand of elastic. What YOU need to do is try some bands and find out what works for you. Then stick with it. If you are asking me which I think best I go with gongchi. They are one of my favorite bands but I know people that don't like them. So this means YOU need to try some bands out and figure out what works for YOU!
@@ATOMark which thickness of Gonchi you prefer?and gongchi green or white?
.5 white
is better than precise?
I prefer precise. I have not had good luck with sumeike
Never try Sumeike. I wonder if these band better than Precise and 100%.
For the price it is worth it to try a roll
this rubber band is from China.😁
Yes sir. Most are!
@@ATOMark I prefer David as a friend or fan online since we have the same hobby(that is why I am here).😁
