Like it very much, so much easier to attach pouch and bands. I think a little slippage could be due to wetting the pliers. But WOW such a great idea. Thanks.
This is genius, bro. It's almost like attaching things to your truck with bungees instead of regular rope. Over time, the regular rope will lose its tension, but the bungee will not. Doesn't matter if you borrowed the idea elsewhere. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy, what do you mean gap shooting. And I went out today with the S MINI Robbin and did adjust for shooting, I was hitting a can at 20 yards pretty well but then I had a left side fork hit and I'm so pissed off it did damage to my frame dam things brand new with a damage in the fork so I put some special tape there in case it happens again but now I have to take the tape on and off when changing bands.
Basically, put your fork tip directly on the center of the target (paper) and see where it lands. I tend to shoot 3 shots just in case there is a bad release. See how high or low you are shooting. Assuming you are shooting high, measure where you shot hit to the dead center of your target. And shoot 3 more shots aiming low. You will be gap shooting . If you are shooting high at 10m most likely you will be point on at 20. It is a small adjustment but pretty effective. This is how I shoot with frames smaller than 88mm fork widths.
Here you go! I would suggest buying a better quality tube like dankung or gzk but this will get you by Red Elastic Natural Latex Rubber Replacement Band Tube for Hunting Shooting Slingshot Catapult www.amazon.ca/dp/B071L3CLM4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_Xay0Eb3ZRR1SR Xuron 450 Tweezer Nose Plier www.amazon.ca/dp/B0006N73BU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_2.x0EbV8SR9Q8
Hey buddy how you doing I got my S MINI Robbin today from Snipersling and it's OTT and when I shoot in my catchbox in my house it's only 10 to 12 yards and I'm not hitting my spinner and can't adjust the fiber optic sight. Do you think the mini Robbin is set up for farther shooting from the factory at Snipersling. My GZK slingshot have adjustable sights that move in and out for farther shooting what am I suppose to do if I can't adjust the fiber optic sight on the mini Robbin.
The issue is the fork width. If it is narrower than you shoot at 10 meters you will hit high. And opposite when you shoot a frame larger you will shoot low. I have a video on this. This was the originally what the gzk adjustable sight was for on gzk frames but can be used for distance. You will just have to adjust how you aim with it. Gap shooting is the answer.
@@ATOMark When I went to that site they ask which size, 3m, 5m,. or 10m and I think 1 m must be about 16/32! Please let me know! I really appreciate your reply! Thank you!
I love them on my ttf hammer pro but i was shooting with the band set I made in this video and i was having consistancy problems so I switched back to the GZK green and everything tightened back up. I couldnt find anything wrong with the bands but they didnt shoot right. I'll post the video soon. just started editing.
@@ATOMark Mmmmm, I had some consistancy problems with those GZK bb locating pouches. Switched back to regular ones and everything was ok again. Waiting for my HTH and Warrior pouches to arrive as well as a band template. Loving this......
@@ATOMark Thanks for clearing that up Mark, have to say it had me scratching my head. But having watched your video I want to try out this technique, at present I'm tying my bands with Theraband strips which up to now has been pretty good.
I just use Cristal string now. Cuffs work great but the require tools and it can be finicky to make bands . I went back to Cristal string because it is easy to tie, cheap and I get the best band life out of my bands with this method.
@@ATOMark Yeah, the thing that confused me was that at 1:20 you said “These are sixteen thirty-seconds.’ All I had to do was think. 16/32 would never be used for a size. You’d just say ‘one-half’. And that would be a huge tube!!😅😅😅 So something was up. 🤔
@@ATOMark In my case, glasses are not a problem, since I am not that accurate! ...I just use the slingshot to scare off wild roosters when they come too close to the house; plus, the rubber band's snapping sound is often enough to scare 'em (they know what it is since they are used to being shot at - not just by me either). Hehehe. Note: I use light, dry clay pellets. Neighbors use bb guns, though. ☺
@@ATOMark ...Of course! I personally never tried the local ones, though I have had "coq au vin" plenty of times before ( = 'wine rooster', a French specialty). ☺
Oh I know they are probably edible. All animals are but for example I would eat wood pigeon but not one in the big city. Is kinda what I was getting at. If these are wild country roosters my freezer would be full.
Another great idea and option from ATO thanks Mark👍

Love the cuff idea. Gonna have to try this. Keep having fun.
Dope I was wondering how I would make those yesterday and this popped up on my feed today… subscribed.. haha 👍🏼
I am glad the video helped. I appreciate the support man
great... thanks for this video . save me time
Very Cool 👌👍.
Thanks for making this video this seems like a much cleaner way to tie a pouch.
I find some bands cuts easily from amber belt. This is a good solution to that.
@@ATOMark I've been buying band sets and noticed that they tend to fall apart near the ties. I'm surprised more people don't do this.

Oh ya I did not invent this at all. But I find there aren't many good videos showing how to do it so I made the video.
? I think you might want to check out the Truckers hitch knot. Bungees can’t hold a candle to it.
Say what's a diametro of the little tube in millimeters...
Very slick 💯👍
Thanks man
Excellent job Brother!
Thanks my friend. It was nice to make a video again. I've been so busy this last week. I hope to post one tomorrow too.
you have good techniques
Thanks
Great job! 👌
good tips dude cheers
Thanks man.
Nice clean job eh! Good video. Thank you.
Great trick! I'm gana try it!!
Works great. If you shoot really heavy bands just make the cuffs a little longer. I have shot up to .70 with no problem.
Great tip on the cuffs....def giving that a try, Tks ( subbed )
My pleasure my friend. Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I'll do my best to keep you entertained
That's a interesting way of doing it nice one I didn't think cuffs would be the secure but thay hold just fine don't look to fiddly either
They work out great. I even had them on .70 precise that max out at my anchor point and they didnt budge
@@ATOMark wow really that's brilliant such a easy way to make bands I'm into awkward and liking a challenge but try to avoid it sometimes! 😁

Cracking idea..do they last longer than normal tieing?
They last long.
I find they last longer with light bands. I haven't really looked for a set up with heavy bands.
@@ATOMark thank you sir appreciate that.
Nice attachment👌🏻. Can you give me the links for the tubing and the pliers tool?
Thx a lot👊🏻

@@ATOMark one question. What size you take 1632, 2040 or 2050😜
I have used 1632 and 2040 both work. 1632 seems to be a little smaller and lighter at the pouch so go with that if you can.
V good

Are the cuffs made from tube bands??
Yes
Great idea but I'm a bit confused about the tube size. The equivalent to 15/32" in metric is 11.906 mm !
I believe it was 1632 tubing I used in this video. I have also used 2040 with decent results as well.
@@ATOMark Thanks for clearing that up Mark, have to say it had me scratching my head. But having watched your video I want to try out this technique, at present I'm tying my bands with Theraband strips which up to now has been pretty good.

Slingshot tubing. 1632 and 2040
Do you still use this method or did you find issues with it later on?

Ahhh, it’s not 16/32. It’s just 1632. The details say it’s the ‘color’ but who knows. I need to know the diameter if the hose itself.
16/32 bands?
That’s 1/2”.
Something is wrong here???
Not 16/32 it's 1632. I don't know how the measurement works but it's not 16/32 of an inch unless they measure it by circumference.

Method #4 (the simplest): use tiny zip-ties - and don't shoot your hand + wear eye protection!
I should wear glasses but I haven't found found a pair that don't impact my accuracy.

Mark a wee question are you shooting ttf yet ?? I’m 5 years shooting and I can’t get the same accuracy as ott
Me shooting ttf is like Wendy's fries......not consistent. Sometimes I can tear it up with them other times it is dangerously bad.
