Another excellent testing video. Thanks for all the information, it really helps!
My pleasure. I have a few more on the way.
Great vid Mark, thank you! Might have to pick up some of this latex....
Good job! I like the impact test!
I’m so glad you did this test brother! You got pretty much the same results that I’ve been getting. I am totally sold on simple shot Premium Black Latex. I’ve been using it religiously for the last few months and as far as longevity they are awesome. The .5 is my go to. I can’t say enough about this latex! The penetration test was awesome by the way!👊🤯🙏💥
Man I really like this latex. If only the shipping was faster. That is my only beef with ordering from simpleshot. It is a usps problem not a simpleshot problem. But orders from there cost more and take double the time to arrive than from UK shops to Canada. I don't know why. Once it reaches Canada 2 days it's at my door. I think I will just have to make big orders. I am a fan.
@@ATOMark That really sucks about the shipping. You would think that between our two countries that the shipping would be a little easier. I guess if you guys weren’t so hostile it wouldn’t be an issue!😂
@@canvandal4503 lol tell me about it. The only thing worse than an angry Canadian is ........ 2 of them.
@@ATOMark 😂
Great video. Keep the penetration test. I'm ordering some 0.50 simple shot black today. Thank you for your time and effort in making videos.
Mh pleasure man. I am glad you are enjoying my content.
These bands are 53 dollars here in Australia for a 2m roll. One bandset 14.99 each. This is the how much we get bent over in this country.
Brilliant band review never thaught of trying the simpleshot bands so much stuff out there but great to know will definitely consider them, nothing wrong with bashing a few cans 👍
Great video buddy, must get myself one of them frames, keep up the good work mate.
another energized review. keep it up, bro! impact test is good. I probably get similar information from calculating the energy from your chrono values. But you know what, busting up a metal can is satisfying in its own right lol
I'll keep doing the can tests. It is just fun busting stuff. I think it adds to the vids
Excellent video and excellent shooting love the penetration test keep up the good work mark 👍🏻
Thanks brother. I will save up my cans. Lol
Great review Mark, SimpleShot included 2- .7mm band sets with the Scout LT. Haven't tried them yet. I agree shipping is slow to Canada, Ordered some stuff from GZK that shipped the same day and they both arrived the same day. 2.5 weeks. Not complaining cause I like the Scout LT and the pouches and band templates from GZK are great.
Nice bands! When it comes to slingshot latex I have to say, they improved alot. Snipersling, GZK, BSB, Precise, Sumeike and so on, they are all nice and you cant go wrong with one of these. Bad latex is the exception. Way better than 10 years ago, when you used tubes or Theraband. Its really great for us slingshot shooters when you think about the progress in this sport. 300 FPS with short draw and 8mm Steel and only one band per side where hard to achieve these times.
A bean can at 12m is how I test my bands so I can relate to the penetration test , plus it's fun to rip up cans , please keep it in . The 9.5 steel speeds were very impressive , I've got some .50 snipersling so I'll try that with the 24-12mm taper . Watching your channel is getting me to try bands and tapers I would have never considered . Really interesting test .
Thanks for the feed back man. I appreciate it.
IVE, got,.6 and .7, now I want some .5.
Once AGAIN AWESOME Video.
Hey thanks Earl, I appreciate the feed back.
Love that SimpleShot latex 🖤
This just came across my recommendation, wow all the likes and comments. Good job mark. Ps I want that beagle lol 😂
The .5 is not bad elastic. It is fast and lasts long.
Mark, consistency is yours as a "sniper" sling shooter trademark, hands down.No pun intended ;-) 8mm has penetration, and once you hit rabbits ' head is a goner. 9.5 mm is the best hunting ball. An 11mm lead ball will bring down a wild pig. Right between its eyes. Some do it the same way to a deer. Of course, the ONLY~ in SHTF survival situation, when one is tired eating squirrels and opossum, lol. So, in the MAD MAX scenario. Coming. You will not starve,that is visibly guaranteed. ;-) Beans or no beans.
Thanks brother
Great test video brother!!! Thank you!
Thanks man
Great vid bro those penetration on them cans was very good love to see more very impressive bands wow 💥👍🏻
Thanks man. You got it brother. I will make this a permanent test.
Love the simpleshot bands. Been my go to for awhile now
I will be useing them more now too. They are really nice.
Awesome video. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks man . My pleasure
Fantastic video and great shooting brother 👏👍 like I was saying they other day, snipersling and simpleshot bands are my go too bands. I use predominantly simpleshot in the winter and as long as you don't hold your shot too long, they are fast in the cold. Good stuff brother. 👏
Thanks man. I really like their stuff. I just wish the shipping was faster. I buy more from overseas only because the shipping is cheaper and faster. Crazy but true.
@@ATOMark yeah I forget your in Canada, they use usps, so I imagine it takes a while for you. I normally get my orders within 3 days or so. Takes about a month or a lil less from china.
@@ChuckinSteel when I order from the UK its here in 2 weeks. From the US 1 month. Once it arrives in Canada it takes 2 days.
Great review!
Thanks man.
I was going to buy a chrony, but you did this, so I bought another slingshot instead. Thanks. :)
My pleasure 😊
Love this channel
Thanks Chris
Very good shooting sir.
.cheers from Texas 👍... enjoyed your video..
Thanks Arturo, I glad you enjoyed the video. Really cold up here in Canada right now. Wish I was in Texas
24-12. Time to cut some latex. Thanks, I’ve been trying to get a steel can pass-through for a couple days and wasn’t sure the issue was. Looks like my taper wasn’t nearly what I needed. I think the can test is great, makes a good baseline.
I couldn't believe how fast your getting those with. 5 black ! ..I have been using some .5 snipersling yellow but having to double my bands up to get anything like what seems to be the similar speeds i get with the .8 black which is the Band i like to use with 9.5 steel..The Baked Bean test as i get goes straight through at 20 yds with 9.5 and .8 black
That's the thing . It seems thinner bands have faster retraction rates. So if you can get the right ammo to hit that sweet spot with your bands you will be sending those shots screaming fast.
Great video 👍
Very good presentation 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks brother
Great video as always. Very cool showing the penetration test.
Thanks man. I am trying to figure out how to make my own ballistic gel to shoot. I think it will be cool to try out for the penatration tests.
That would be really cool. What model chronograph would you recommend for slingshots? I'm looking for one but I know not all of them are ideal for slingshots.
@@axsomoutdooradventures I got mine from cattyshack catapults. I really didn't know which one to get either but I figured a chrony from a slingshot place would be good.....and it was
Thnk you for making a review on the band .
My pleasure man.
Yes sir! I'm liking the can test. I was messing about the other day with 177 Cal BB's/4.5 mm. 9-10 is about the weight of a 9.5 mm steel ball. I wrapped them in some thin paper trying to see if I'd get a shotgun effect. Nope, it held together and hit as a single projectile. The hole it made in cardboard box was huge by comparison to 9.5 steel. I thought I'd mention it so others can play with it and perhaps determine if it's useful or only good for making holes in boxes.
Cheers
I will be doing them from now on. Or maybe some other kind of penatration test. Should be fun.
Thats a cool test you did. I am surprised they didn't spread
@@ATOMark I was surprised too. However I suspect the paper and how it's wrapped plays a big role. I used a cigarette rolling paper and twisted it like a Hersey's kiss. It then got crushed into a random lump in the pouch. I did another one shooting at no more than 20 ft. Accuracy was spot on. Beyond thirty feet, I can see it drifting off target, but I haven't tested it.
Yes sir! Please keep the test! Not just birds that will kill a squirrel no problem.
Cool I will keep doing them. And they add a little fun for me too.
Thank you for taking the time to do your videos it’s a wealth of information much appreciated.
I’m fairly new to the sport at least taking it seriously anyways.
I’m about to order a roll and start making my own bands.
I’d like to see 5/16 and 3/8” steel balls and I have a 29 inch draw.
I’m wanting buy the sniper sling band material but do you think I’ll get more speed out of it shooting a .6 or should I stick with the .5
And who makes the best pouch? right now I just been shooting factory simple shot bands.
Thank you keep it up
I just noticed you mentioning slow results with simple shot deliveries
I’ve ordered from quite a few times and just recently ordered a bunch of stuff to start building my own slingshot I want to say 5-6days I had it and that’s the norm from them with me
I am in Canada the international shipping is really slow. I could pay for the fast shipping but they will nail me for customs and tax so it's not worth it. I usually order from England. I get my stuff in 2 weeks.
I was able to get 320fps from snipersling black .5 with 5/16 ammo. That is stupid fast. I still got 260-270 with 3/8 steel with the same bands. Can't go wrong. .5 is plenty fast. I didn't get better results with the .6
Look like some great bands. Thank you for the video. Kill the can! Stay safe and stay cool
Sweet!
Got a great combination there.
Thanks man
Yup. Shootin' cans is a requirement at least once in a while. Something satisfying about that kicking and jumping they take! So many different bands and tapers eh.......
So many ...... many are similar but there are some outliers. Everyone has to do their own research but I hope these videos will help people zero in on what will work for them.
I always liked the simple shot bands...their pouches on the other hand are not the best. Really well done video.
Thanks man. The pouches aren't bad when they finally break in but I find that could be many band sets before that happens
This is what I use, SSB 0.5 with 8mm! I’m shooting 18 to 12 taper and it’s plenty for the back yard. Next I’m trying 0.6 for 9.5mm
They are really nice eh! I was shocked at how nice they were when I cut them my self. I was not a fan of the .7 that came with my frames I just didn't want to give them a try.
Excellent review. Which direction do you cut your bands? Cross ways, across the roll or length wise down the roll ? Does it matter, is there a grain to latex?
I really don't know. Usually I cut cross. I may give it a try and see if there is a difference. I will make a video of it.
just got the matched bands for 3/8 ammo - -SS black in .7mm with a 22mm x 15mm taper.
personally I cut my bands a little long (480% stretch vs 500%)
You should get good longevity out of them like that. They may be a little slower but thats no big deal if you are shooting consistant with them. When I do these tests I max them out. I don't reccomend doing that because they won't last long but you can see the potential they have.
Hi! Good day. My name is Craig Beale, I stated my catapult shooting after thirty five years. In the olden days i used to use railway rubber which was very fast and a great rubber for hunting. Now days its all slat bands. But atill doing a fantastic job. lovely info brother. I would like to ask what was the distance that you was shooting. I have watched many of your videos earlier. And I loved them. Thanks and keep shooting. Cheers.
Good morning my friend. Thanks for watching. In this video I was shooting 33' or 10m.
@@ATOMark Good day brother. Thank s alot. At 10 meters the speed was very good. Lovely bands. You are doing a great job in keeping all catapult lovers updated. Bless you. Cheers.
Thanks my friend I appreciate the feed back. Shoot straight and stay safe
for the 9.5mm ammo could you use thicker bands 0.60 of the same brand? would that make it faster for heavy ammo?
Soooo nice speeds 🤘
Penetration tests are welcome 👍
One question. How thick metal is that can made of ?
So that Premium Black is a lot better than that first gen. SS Black couple years ago 👏
Not really sure how thick it is but It is way thicker than a soda can. These are really hard to squish with your hand. Next time I do a test I will give a close up.
@@ATOMark Similar looking cans are here 0,25mm thick (straight part of can wall)
I will bring it to work and check. I'll let you know.
Penetration test is the way to go ....bless
Thanks brother. I will be doing it again.
I love simple shot bands, but I use warrior pouches
My favorite pouch is the warrior mongol pouch. I love the blue ones. They are stiff at first but break in really nice.
Thx for another awesome review. In one of your last videos you did test Snipersling black .50. As far as I remember the speed was pretty much the same for 8 mm steel, and 9.5 mm steel was faster with Snipersling, right? I mean I don´t care. Speed is not everything. If you have to compare both directly, which one has the easier draw?
I think snipersling black was faster with both 8mm and 9.5. BUT the draw on the simpleshot bands are way better. I would choose simpleshot. Almost as fast but nicer to shoot.
@@ATOMark Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a nice weekend and always shoot straight.
yes, please make the penetration shots a standard test in your reviews 👍🏻
You got it man
again so much information on videos what bands do I get next arrrr brain over load
Just curious, how much speed does the ammo lose 10 meters down range as it impacts the target? Or does it remain pretty consistent at that distance? Awesome videos, enjoy the content 👍
I may need to give that a try. I think it may get faster for a bit then slow down. I am nervous to try.
@@ATOMark . If you do try that, put some type of shield in front of it. Plywood with a hole cut out. Would make an interesting video.
"For you guys out there hunting........you're busting a bird's head wide open with dat!"😂😂😂😜😜 I love this guy!!
I can't even get double penetration on a bean can with gzk green .72 I'm confused awesome video
Here is the thing thicker bands don't always equal faster speeds. The thicker bands may have slower retraction. For fun you should try a couple band sets cut to max out at your anchor and shoot the same ammo through the same frame. You may be shocked of the outcome.
Check this out. ua-cam.com/video/AmTIp_rKGFs/v-deo.html
like its good. but i have never tasted it simpleshot😥
Lovely job sir.... they look like good bands....just wondering if you prefer TTF or ott slingshots..your pretty darn good with both.
I am an ott guy. I can shoot ttf not bad but I can shoot ott way better.
@@ATOMark do you use the corner of the slingshot to aim.... would be a good vid to do how to aim a ott slingshot...
@@nathanevans6331 yup thats what I do. I am trying to put together a video but it is kinda hard to catch it with the camera.
@@ATOMark yes can imagine it's not that easy.., thanks for answering..much appreciated.,my wife and I love your no nonsense honest reviews...your much appreciated for what you do....thanks again...Nathan..
I appreciate the feed back brother. I hope you will join in on the next live feed
What speeds are you getting with full butterfly 9.5 steel .5 simpleshot with what band length and taper?
I haven't really tested full butterfly speeds yet. But I will soon when I get some warmnweather
You know it’s weird. I just got some 0.8mm Simpleshot black and I wanted to compare it to 0.7mm. Cut the same length and taper, used the same ammo and frame, and shot from the same distance from chrony. Was hoping to see big improvements, but I got nothing. 0.7 and 0.8 both threw 7/16” steel at about 207 FPS. I’ll try some 3/8” tomorrow, but I was surprised to not see speed gains?
What elongation did you use?
@@ATOMark 6.5” my draw length divided by 5. I’m learning a little more about the physics, thinner bands with retract more quickly, but can’t move heavier ammo. Thicker bands can move heavier ammo, so I guess with 7/16” steel it maxed out on speed with the 0.7 so going to 0.8 won’t help. But if I went to lead or maybe a 1/2” steel the 0.8 will perform better than 0.8. Slingshots man, there’s a lot to learn.
@@kd7gxfsmd the reason I asked it the max elongation I found on the .5 was about 5.6. You will get more speed if you cut your bands a little shorter. That last little bit adds a lot of speed
You may need to mess with the tapers a little. I did a video on how tapers effect bands a while back. I will do some testing on heavier ammo when I have some time.
Very nice, I'm really keen to know what the longevity is between simpleshot and sniper sling 0.5
Me too
@@ATOMark I have had failures with SS 5/16 bands 6 shots in
@@northeastslingshot1664 I haven't experienced anything like that with ss but I have with another brand that a couple buddies swear by. Do you think you just got a bad roll or has it happened with many
@@ATOMark I buy the pre made. New to this one month. 7/16 bandsets were ok but that pouch! Cracked my hand bad starting with that.
Went to 5/16 and the premade bandsets....both were no good. Who ever cut the taper left a mess and weird egdes. Snapped one bandset in 6th shot. Other is ok but im leary now. Went to snipersling black premade sets
Hoping to get as good as you someday!
🙏😃
@@northeastslingshot1664 I haven't been shooting for very long. Ask the right questions and get the practice in and the sky is the limit. As for pre-made bands...... I don't touch them. After a small investment to get started making your own bands is far cheaper. Definately the way to go
300 m/s? 😲 Wow🙂
Fps
@@ATOMark thx🙂
How long did that slingshot take to get to you?
The shipping was about 2 weeks. Really fast. Andri is the man
What is it's stretch ratio. Thinking of getting a roll or two.
I will have to double check but I think it is 6x. It is really good
stuff
Thank you, l will be getting a roll soon. The .65 Precise is stuck in the mail for over 10 days. Did get my rolls of flying falcons and yes as you said they are very smooth. I really like them.
In the words of Doug marcaida "It will kiiilllll"
Lol Yes it will.
There are so many bands on the market still waiting for proper testing on your channel, but at this point what is your absolute favourite? BTW are you saying that you wait for your orders shipped from US longer than those shipped from China 😆❓
From China it is about the same. From the UK it is usually half the time than from the US
What would like to see me change in my testing? I think my favorite bands right now are snipersling yellow .5 and gzk orange .50. The simpleshot I really like but I have only been shooting them for one shooting session but they are really good and could bump one of those to out of their position.
@@ATOMark 👍Yeah, Snipersling yellow is my next purchase. Man, I dunno what you should change to be honest. Soup metal can is a good idea. Maybe some ballistic gelatin action or thick playwood penetration test? I've recently discovered that a good measurment for the power of my bands is a bottom of the deodorant can. Aluminum on the bottom is really tough! In fact only GZK green allowed me to penetrate that and not on the first shot (5m distance and 8mm ammo).
@@Sporek oh when you were saying you were waiting for proper testing on my channel I thought you were unhappy about how I was doing it.
Sniper sling .5mm black were quite a bit quicker were they not?
Ya the snipersling black was faster. The max speed I clocked was 324fps. But the draw is quite stiff and heavy. It did loosen up after many shots but the draw was still not as nice as the simpleshot bands
@@ATOMark nice good to know!! Thanks fella
Where can I get slingshot rubber from please can you tell me one iteme that get
There are a few ones but I like simpleshot black .50 from simpleshot.com and snipersling yellow .50 from wasp.com
What draw length you shooting in this test
My draw length is 30". I check the elongation of the bands and cut them accordingly to max out at my anchor.
In your discription the link for the bands doesn't work.
Thanks for the heads up. It has been fixed.
Hey ATO just wondering I seen a boy on Facebook who had 2mm thick bands seemed a bit much but what is the difference between thicker bands are they more powerful or what Agen sorry for all the comments I'm just getting into slingshots Agen in ur only one I know who really does know about this stuff so I'd rather just ask u 😂anyway hope ur doing good love from Scotland
2mm thick bands is overkill for any normal sized steel. They aren't snt faster really but they can move more weight. I have tried some experiments with heavy ammo and bands all the way up to .85 I cant seem to get 9.5mm steel to break 300fps . From what I see .5 ( thinner bands ) retract faster with appropriate ammo. I'm not saying its impossible with bigger ammo or elastic. I just haven't seen it yet.
Well I was going to get 10mm steel bbs for it but are 9.5s better would u say right now I'm shooting marbles in I'm Sait up with office bands linked together I know that's not the best but I'm just trying to find out what bands are good b4 I ordered them been trying to watch ur videos the gse green I think there called u had them on a video they seemed good but I'm just not sure on what to get but I can't get the office bands to go through a coke can do I need to upgrade 😂I think really any bends will be better then office bands
Oh ya any modern band will be a huge improvement. Here is the thing I dont think there is a best band out there any more. Some are faster, some are slower, some have a heavier draw some are light. Some last longer some don't. You really need to try a few brands out and see what you like.
I get that need to find out what I like Where do u recommend getting bands from I'm in Scotland
Wasp slingshots. Simon is the owner. Great guy, fast shipping, quality stuff. Can't go wrong with wasp
I like my Scout but not the bands and pouches.
Lol I love the scout lt but hate ss pouches after they break in they aren't too bad but that will take 3 or 4 band sets to get them nice and soft.
@@ATOMark pouches are no good imo. Im looking forward to pairing the Snipersling black pre made bands with neoprene pouches.
12 for 12.95!!😃
I use warrior mongol pouches. They are made of kangaroo leather and they last forever. The more you use them the better they get. Best pouch for 5/16 in my opinion.
That's really fast bands.. I wondered how fast it can go if you shoot it with 6mm steel balls..
Probably faster but it may affect longevity. If the projectile is too light to transfer all the energy from the bands it is like a dry fire.
@@ATOMark It could be good idea to make video about that..
Why don't u sale bands u obviously know alot about it and u prove they work at the taper u say I think alot of folk would order from u just don't know if it works be profitable for u to do but u would definitely have orders from alot if folk I think
Maybe some day. Shipping from Canada to other countries is very expensive
@@ATOMark folks pay for the quality and the knowledge that's in ur head though alot of folk don't know what set up they need or what they are even looking for but if they order from u in they said Im hunting with them then u could give them what they need or if it was target shooting then u would know what bands at what taper that kinda costermonger service is worth a little more but then Agen I still don't know if it would be profitable cos u would have it lest 70% don't make there own bands maybe more so there is a gap in the market for bands or better yet do ur own slingshot the ATO I know my self they would shot good and sale fast
Is it just me or is there a disproportionate amount of left handed shooters on UA-cam in relation to how much of the population is left handed.
I think left hand hold people tend to be right handed. I don't think I could shoot a slingshot at all in my right hand
@@ATOMark I was wondering if that was the case. I'm a REALLY new shooter but I couldn't imagine shooting with my left being a righty.
Just seems natural to me that my right hand (dominant hand) would control the release. In my opinion that is far more important that the frame hand.
@@ATOMark So while practicing two days ago I thought I'd force myself to try shooting with my left hand it felt super awkward at first but my accuracy was immediately better by the end of the day it felt completely natural. After doing a little research I determined I'm definitely right eye dominant and iv been shooting backwards lol. Luckily I realized this only days befor placing my order for a new s-robin it would have been a real bummer to have ordered the wrong hand.
Oh man! Thats crazy. Great that you figured it out though. Let the sniping begin.
Brain fart. ROFL.
Not sure if someone has asked this but… where’d you get the cool magnetic 🧲 necklace?
Snipersling has them. They are great!
@@ATOMark thx.
Searched site for necklace… cowhide one came up. I don’t think it was the one in your video. Perhaps discontinued?
The one I use is supposed to be for a belt. I just wear it around my neck with paracord.
My vote for more impact tests, they are very useful to evaluate real world applications. Thanks
You got it buddy. They are fun for me too
