- This video was full of challenges however I got it done. Braving the cold we got out and tested some snipersling .5 and .6 in -13°c. I also test the bands indoors to compare the speeds. snipersling are the fastest bands i have tried in warm weather but are they good in the cold. we will find out. Be sure to watch until the end!

Savage weather......thanks for the vid and the hardship endured🤙🤙
Brave soul in that cold..... frame hits are a real bummer! Thanks for testing them... I'm surprised at the outcome
The indoor / warm weather speeds are top notch in the cold..... not great. If you don't get winters like we have in Canada then don't worry about it. The frame hit was tuff but I will survive. I should have been testing with my scoutlt. You can hit that thing with a nuke and it will keep going.
Yessss Finally Iv been looking for some to do this 👍🏻thanks
Aww man, bummer. Thanks for the vid
You’ve got some guts to be out in that weather, great vid.
OMG! Brother that looked so cold I put a coat on while a I was watching! Awesome frames! I always find value in all your testing videos! Thanks for taking time to do these videos for the lazy guys like me 😂! That frame hit...Broke my heart 😢! Thanks for your honesty about the bands. There are few people that are willing to tell the truth sometimes!
Brother I will always call them as I see them. If people need me to review there gear they have to be ok with me being honest.... I had one very dissatisfied customer on my bushcraft channel. They had me review a hammock that was an absolute piece of garbage. The review reflected that. I lost a supplier of outdoor gear and gained the respect from my viewers. To me that was worth it 10 fold. I try to keep it honest which is why I didn't hide the frame hit. I appreciate all the support brother and comments.
You will hear from me this week about what we discussed on the Instagram DM
@@ATOMark Right on brother! 👊💥
Thanks for the info ato
Hey Mark, what a shame with the frame hit. But respect for carrying on! When I bought my first quality frame, a shiny new evo, within the first few shots I stuck a nice big dent in it😖! But excellent no holds barred review, cheers
Buddy I will try my best to honest and un biased in every review I do no matter how I obtain them. I was known for that on my bushcraft channel. I did a review of a hammock that was sent to me for free from a company I had done reviews for before. I did thd video......they did not like it. The product was an absolute piece of garbage and I said so. Needless to say I did not receive a product from them again. But I gained respect from my viewers. Far more worth it to me.
ATO your video was so good i went straight to Sniper Sling an bought like $50 worth of goods, including these .5 bands! You should network with them! Thx again
I dont chase these guys for free stuff. If they like what I do and want to get me to review their stuff I will. They just have to know I will be honest, call things as I see them. Some guys want everything to be awesome. if I think something sucks I will say so. That said snipersling bands are excellent and are my go to bands. Just not in the freezing cold
Just watched this, Gutted for your frame bud. Be well 👍🏻🍺
Pulled pork I smoked for 10 hours and a glass of wine took the sting out of it.
@@ATOMark 😂🤣 that's the spirit bud👍🏻 at least you're keeping it honest. ( Sometimes life just tests us) Be well.
@@S.Y-a-ok 🍻
Those bands were made in Zenzhen China bordering HongKong in sub-tropical weather, coldest weather there in winter only a couple degrees C
You are shooting at minus 13C plus wind chill that is why they don't work. You did a great job Mark thanks.
Oh I know but these are supposed to be marketed as anti cold to -11c apparently. Most normal bands I have tested in that cold don't show that amount of slowdown in that cold. They are still excellent bands. My go to bands actually. I just don't think they should claim anticold is all I am saying.
@@ATOMark Nearly all of them claim to be anti cold now. I call 🐂💩.
Me too and to be honest I have found most anti cold bands just have a heavier draw but don't really last any better. I just go up a size or 2 when it gets really cold.
Ah brother,that stinks, im sorry that happened to ya. Snipersling is probably my most preferred bands right now but cold weather does slow them down. When its warm they are mean as hell, also the stretch ratio on them tips towards long draw. If its freezing or lower, then I shoot simpleshot black. I do have some Snipersling black and they seem good but I haven't put them under a chronograph.
Ya they are probably the best bands I've tried in warm weather. Super fast is s grest description. There are better choices for winter. I have some black on the way. Can't wait to try them.
“Science Works, Bitches” ;) Those pouches are great,love them.
Great video interesting test on those bands but my goodness that's a real shame chipping your frame
I know that one stung for about a week.
Really enjoy your vids and all the tech you provide. Keep up the good work! I’ve been trying different brands of band/ pouch combos and having lots of fun. Question though, is the only way to purchase a Beagle or Titan hunter through Facebook? I don’t have Facebook and don’t necessarily want it
Are you on Instagram?
@@ATOMark not on Instagram either, but if I want to purchase something more custom than my current everyday shooters, I guess I better step up. Btw, bummer on the frame hit that F’d up the nice finish,eh! I feel your pain. That seems like a peculiar spot for a hit on a ott setup.. cold weather I’d say. Again, keep up the good work sir!
I will see if I have an email for Chris (Titan hunter) I will also contact Andri and see if he has an email.
@@ATOMark very much appreciated! I like ur comment on the ScoutLt. I only shoot SS products so far, and when I first got an Ocularis, I set it up ttf with 7/16 steel, and probably on shot 3 or 4 , bang! frame hit that forced it into brand new, early retirement. Good thing they’re affordable. Reason I like the looks of your Beagle is because my go-to is my Torque
Feel gutted for you mark but thanks for the video hope you can get your frame fixed 👍
Already done brother. Not as pretty as it once was but you don't notice a thing when holding it.
Glad it is all sorted 👍
the bands seem too get better after a few shots , great info vid man
I was trying to reduce my hold time. To get the best speed possible. The rubber was maxed out. When I shot them indoors they were really fast. I didn't catch it on camera but I clocked 304fps indoors
@@ATOMark u said in the other vid there gonna be fast , but useless in the cold and there selling as cold weather bands lol
I know and the proof is in this video. I will do my best to tell it how it is.
Got me a 0,7 SS yellow. 25-15 taper on a FTC. Loving this stuff so far! Need to try the black one, wish there would be a 0,8 available. Fuck the framehit, heads up! 🙄🙂
Ya man. Snipersling bands are probably my favorite in regular weather. The draw, speed and longevity are all on point.... just not great in the cold. I ordered dome black this week. I will test them as soon as they arrive. I think I have some 100% coming too. Just waiting to hear back from the website.
As ive said before sniper sling bands are my favourite i use the 05 06 just like your testing thay are excellent bands i only shoot 8m steel with a 20 12 taper have you tried the sniper sling darts thay are awesome 😀👍
I love these bands but I thought they would shoot better in this temperature. They were the worst in cold weather so far. And oddly the fastest in the warm. If I was useing darts today I would be in the hospital removing one from my hand. Lol I will avoid the darts for now...... but man they are cool
Sorry about your slingshot but fram hits do happen sometimes we don't get winter like yours in the UK your a brave man i wouldn't be out there shooting in those conditions anyway cheers 👍
Believe it or not this is a mild winter. Lol 2 years ago we had a month of -30 and 2 weeks of -40. I dress very different in that weather and definately don't shoot outdoors.
do you feel it would break like that too had the material been micarta or G-10? thanks for the review
No micarta and g10 are tuffer but not as nice as resin. That is the trade off. If you want a really unique frame and you use resin you run that risk. It is almost impossible to create patterns like these with any other materials.
well i reckon the "cold" bands werent prepared for the - degree temp mate ...that looked cold , not surprised at the frame hit in them conditions (it doesn,t suck any the less tho) your hands must have been frozen
you sir are a trooper , we appreciate your sacrifice
Thanks brother. Oh just to bring you up to speed I put in an order for 100%...... I think. I sent a payment That I think was correct. It mentions euros, £ , but when you send the payment it is in Czech. I converted euros into canadian and payed. I left a note to let me know if the payment was ok but have heard nothing back.
@@ATOMark i got my .7 snipersling from wasp in the uk , i think they,ve done a hook up with each other
Yup I bought my bands from snipersling and wasp. I usually order from wasp if I am close to running out. There shipping is faster.
@@ATOMark When I ordered my 100% rolls, I didn't get answers to my questions. Only time answered was, when I asked are those shipped already. He said package was sent day after my order, but it really was sent after I asked (over one week later) is it sent yet.
I an not even sure I sent enough money. Lol he lists the prices in euros and GBP but you end up paying in Czech dollars. I told him to let me know if it was good but got no response. I will send a message on Monday and find out.
That really sucks about your Casper Brother. That’s something I always worry about when shooting my Caspers. I know it’s going to be a kick in the gut the day it happens. I’m sure the cold didn’t help matters either. Probably made the resin brittle. Good test though and thanks for for freezing you ass to do it. If it gets that cold here I’m not shooting and probably not going outside. 🤣
I'll survive! Still can't figure it out. I came in and shot another 50 3/8 through it no problem.....dead straight. When I was outside all the shots were going 1foot to the left. Thats why I kept checking the frame in between shots. It was wierd. I am chalking it up to cold bands and cold hands. The bands weren't reacting like they should and my release was probably no as clean as it should have been. Either way snipersling are some of the best and fastest bands I have tried in warm weather.....not so much in the cold.
@@ATOMark I need to order some snipersling. It’s finally warming up here and I will be out more shooting
They are probably the best all round band I have tried in warm weather. Cold not so much
Oh boy, I can imagine that such cold conditions affected your release since you hit the frame shooting ott and the frame position looks ok. Sorry for that. Greetings from warm Costa Rica
Brother I wish I was your neighbor. I am so tired of winter. I am ready for some sunshine and maybe some shooting on a beach
@@ATOMark maybe once the dam virus goes away!
Oh my! I'm in bc and my minimum outside shooting temperature is 8 degrees. My shooting goes to crap when my fingers are cold and that happens at much higher temperatures than what you were shooting in. I'm positive that's the cause of your frame hit. Lesson learned here and likely many others too. Shoot your ugly frames in cold weather!😂
Ya bud! I often shoot in this cold. I'm an ice fisherman and clean the ice from the holes with my hands and almost never wear gloves. Lol but definately the wind played a factor on my release and the bands. Too many negative factors at one time.
Oh and believe me ugly frames will be out next time.
@@ATOMark ROFL 😂 ugly frames is all I make, I can hook you up my friend. 😂
@@ATOMark I forgot to mention my test bands. I use 13 mm straight cut at very close range when I'm testing a new frame. On a tiny target I can find a highly specific aim point with a flat tragetory. The purpose is an extremely light draw to eliminate any shake on my part. It helps me confirm the the forward flat sides of the fork tips are in line with each other. Any misses once that's confirmed are my fault and not an equipment issue.
@@forksandspoons7272 thats a great idea.
Hi what ammo do you use for 40 snipersling yellow shane 🇬🇧
I use 8 or 7mm
good vedio pal in them conditions gutted for you on your frame nowt worst
Oh man, thats why I didn't show the rest of the shooting I freaked out and many horrible things camo out of my mouth. Lol
Oh man bummer, you can go thousands of shots without a frame hit but there might always be one lurking in the corner. Happens to the best of us.
Yup. It broke my heart though. It was wierd I had to twist the pouch to get the shot to go over the forkout side but when I went in I shot 50 straight no problem. I still think it was me and not the bands but the cold did not help
How to avoid this frame hit ? it often happen to me sometime, but luckily it happen with the clay ball ammo.
I think it was my hands were really cold and my release was bab because my fingers were too cold. Always frame hits are a release problem or form problem.
@@ATOMark Do you find any difference in accuracy between twisting the pouch vs not twisting the pouch when releasing ?
@@harisyoung4110 i have never tried twisting the pouch shooting short draw, Only butterfly. I also speed bump it to avoid hitting my face. I do find it affects accuracy like that.
Have you tryid the black snipersling?
Not yet but it is on the way with one of their budget frames.
I make my bands a bit longer than the yellow. But they hit hard and shooting fast 😊👍
Do they have the same elongation?
Is it feet per second
Yes. Feet per second. I often say feet per minute by accident. All the speeds on the machines are calculated in fret per minute. Lol
O lastiği nerde bulabilirim acaba (Türkiye) 🙏🙏

Thought those frames looked like they needed a bigger crotch! Nice video brother ATO
Thanks brother.
Fork hit is never good thing and when You have frame like that, it's even worse.
After fork hit like that , all words from my mouth would have to been censored.
The lowest temperature for Snipersling bands is mentioned to be -10°C, so perhaps its not surprise not working that great in Your -13°C with wind.
Oh brother there is a reason why I cut the video. I really needed a break and walk it off. I saw somewhere they were good to -15. But -10 would explain the performance. Either way the warm weather performance makes them probably the best all round band I have tried. Speed, draw and longevity are all great. Just not the best for Canadian winters
A double bummer, shitty weather and a frame hit, you could sort it out by awarding yourself in the slingshot prize/giveaway 😁
Lol that would be cheating.... besides I already have 3 beagles.
There has just bin someone on the catty group testing the 100% 50 green throu thr croni and getting 365 fps think it's frank wrass if u no him will u send me a friend request on Facebook coz I keep having to go to CZcams to message u
I think I just sent you a message
Was he shooting butterfly or short draw?
Frame hits sucks :(
Broke my heart brother
