I have no problems with the silence in this video. You are obviously comfortable in your own head. Could you say the name of the knot for the pouch attachment? ie is there a regular rope version of it that can be googled?
excellent videos!!! Have a purple martin colony that starlings are gradually taking over.....cant shoot a gun as it will scare martins.......bought slingshot......hopefully get proficient fairly quickly......Thank you so very much!!!!
Hi Torsten, super Video, danke! Sag mal wie viel Schuss halten deine Bänder in etwa? Und wo gehen sie als erstes kaputt? Meine reissen meistens am pouch vor der Wicklung. Und dann ist es fast immer die rechte Seite (ich halte die Schleuder nach links eingedreht mit der rechten Hand u ziehe links).
@gswiaczny That would be a draw from the fork to your anchor point (cheek bone) of around 80cm. So you can cut your bands with a length of 18 - 19cm. Regards Torsten
Ok - 130 m/s with 8mm steel: blue Theraband, 27 cm length, tapered from 24mm to 9mm, two layers per side, very light and small pouch. Shooting temperature around 20°C. Draw it out to the maximum - fast release! Have fun!
great vid mate. i have put these on my chinese slingshot. the bands work very well and gives me enough power for hunting later on, after i get some target practice done of corse. i put a vid up today of my polar bear slingshot with the bands on. i'm getting about 250fps with a 9.5mm steel ball. i'm very weak so can only pull them back to just past my neck so i'm sure if i was able to use the full pull id get 300fps. i used 2 bands per side of thera band black. great work mate
What is the longevity of the band with the way u connect it to the pouch? According to my experiences, the connection of the pouch and the flat band is very important because my flat bands r always worn out and ripped near the connection. My gold therabands will last about 400 shots.
the reason most shooters taper the bands is to make it easier to draw whilst still providing a high velocity. Saunders provide twin tapered bands on the wrist rocket pro for this same reason.
hello again torsten. You sugest using Theraband type P. I dont seem to be able to find it anywhere on the net. Is it a German Specification ? and what does the P mean. Have a nice Christmas. Ray
@freedom2able XX Thera Band - Thera Band Type P - I`ve never heard of it yet. gold, silver; black, blue... ; tubes or (flat)bands - these are the only variants of TB I know. Regards
@IrgendwasDoofes Habe ich geschenkt bekommen, das Leder. Handschuhe aus dem Baumarkt (etwas teurere!) geben auch manchmal gutes Leder ab. Deutsch ist schon ok - liegt mir mehr :) Und thera schwarz - ist insgesamt von der performance her dem goldenen um Längen überlegen! Gruß!
Actually I shoot only the blue band. Because it is very easy to get a speed of around 130 m/s with this stuff. The golden band (much thicker than black and blue) is better for heavier ammo. I think there is no "best band": For my purpose ( high speed and a low draw weight) I prefer the thinner band (blue and black). The different colors seem to easily show the differences in the thickness and strength of the bands - a marketing thing from "Hygenic" - the producer of Theraband.
No, it's to do with how quick the rubber contracts not the draw weight, for light ammo,8mm steel for example black and blue are best as they zip the ammo along very quickly, for heavier ammo like 12mm lead u want theraband gold as it will work best.
Latex is very good stuff indeed, but TB is nearly as good as latex regarding the performance. Plus: TB is far easier and cheaper to get here in Europe/Germany!! You can`t go wrong to shoot with TB.

Really it's a good and perfect video to slingshot lovers
Flatband uses double cupped pouches too. I have also a few from him. Great material!
THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH i can finally pierce steel cans with a 10mm steel ball i know this is an old video but the appreciation is GREAT
Some explanation of what you are doing and why would be nice for us beginners.
Hi Torsten, super Video, danke! Sag mal wie viel Schuss halten deine Bänder in etwa? Und wo gehen sie als erstes kaputt? Meine reissen meistens am pouch vor der Wicklung. Und dann ist es fast immer die rechte Seite (ich halte die Schleuder nach links eingedreht mit der rechten Hand u ziehe links).
Thanks for the video. Do you not recommend using TB Gold? I thought Gold had higher pounds of force at 100% elongation than the other colors. thx.
nice video, i like it how you do everything slow and make it very clear.
thankyou
Very nice vids. It's very helpful for me. The other one showing the comparison of various bandsets is great too :) Thanks, best regards!
The string through the loop to grab the small ties when securing the band to the pouch is much much easier.
@gswiaczny
That would be a draw from the fork to your anchor point (cheek bone) of around 80cm.
So you can cut your bands with a length of 18 - 19cm.

what are the dimensions for butterfly shooting and tape thickness thank you friend
im only 13 so i doubt i can handle the tougher stuff but what would you say would be a good choice for me?
excellent vid. very informative, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Rafe
Thanks for the info !!!!
Ps. What do you think of the double TB gold setup joerg sprave uses ??
your thera band black is 14cm wide. i can only find 12,5cm wide thera band. where do you get it from??
You have a realy nice poutch.. and slingshots ...

Danke Torsten ! Für dieses sehr gute Video.
In meinem Baumarkt haben die keine Rollschneider. Muss ich halt auf eBay bestellen.

Saunders provide twin tapered bands on the wrist rocket pro for this same reason.
Is there a TB gold that is thinner than
the reg ? It looks like the small yellow strips u use are more transparent than the TB gold I got.
Please whatch part 2 of the vid!
Great Vid torsten!! I look forward to trying this out!!
i like the black bands. the speed is cool
hello again torsten. You sugest using Theraband type P. I dont seem to be able to find it anywhere on the net. Is it a German Specification ? and what does the P mean.
Have a nice Christmas. Ray
He sent me a good couple of his pouches a month ago - great stuff!!
is tb gold good as tb black for speed?
Hey 1611torsten.
I was wondering about thera-band yellow,green and black. Which is strongest and weakest ?
Amazing work!
how thick is the band? special heavy ?ore thinner?
You are a master Joseph
@freedom2able
XX Thera Band - Thera Band Type P - I`ve never heard of it yet.
gold, silver; black, blue... ; tubes or (flat)bands - these are the only variants of TB I know.
Regards
Your mom seems to be pretty cool! What color does she prefer - and what shooting style :)))
@gswiaczny
If any other questions regarding slingshot bands - feel free to ask!
Regards
Torsten
how are the dimensions for your fastest bands. i mean MORE than 130m/s or 400 fps.
thanks
How much do you pay for the roll of TB black or TB blue?
Can you use a Xacto knife instead of that rollerknife?
how much is a roll like that in black
OMG were did u get so much band? I bet it-s very expensive ...
@IrgendwasDoofes
Habe ich geschenkt bekommen, das Leder.
Handschuhe aus dem Baumarkt (etwas teurere!) geben auch manchmal gutes Leder ab.
Deutsch ist schon ok - liegt mir mehr :)
Und thera schwarz - ist insgesamt von der performance her dem goldenen um Längen überlegen!
Gruß!

Maybe a bit unusual. But what other people do with Theraband is sometimes funny too...
From where can I buy Thera bands online?
Ok-thanks! Nice to hear that it is useful for others!
Regards
Why don't you use gold thera band? Don't you think you could get more power?
No, it's to do with how quick the rubber contracts not the draw weight, for light ammo,8mm steel for example black and blue are best as they zip the ammo along very quickly, for heavier ammo like 12mm lead u want theraband gold as it will work best.
Wellmade1745 Thank you very much¡¡¡
@Luka464
A whole roll costs 110!
But you can also buy only a few meters.
Regards
What latex do you mean?
Latex is very good stuff indeed, but TB is nearly as good as latex regarding the performance. Plus: TB is far easier and cheaper to get here in Europe/Germany!!
You can`t go wrong to shoot with TB.
What breaks earlier? And in comparison to what?
been useing black latex from simple shot 12in a pack $525 there very powerfull fast light bands they last a long time shooting out of a scout frame
I buy it on ebay - usually a whole roll (45 meters). So it is not THAT expensive, around 2 EUR per meter.
@MKF30
THERA BAND - try to find it on ebay - it should be no problem.
Regards
@versatilechicken
depends on what ammo do you use.
Those who are complaining from his silence are the same ones that will make fun
of his accent if he talks
@SchwarzerKanal110
Yes, that`s right.
And the bands last longer at lower temperatures.
We're did u buy the bands
braucht es unbedingt so ein rollmesser
Please make fastest slingshot band with bicycle inner tube please please.
*****thankyou and can u please subscribe to my channel
Yes, it`s possible. But a roll cutter works best!
how i can get the rubber band?
what`s the speed??
Danke! Freut mich, wenn es für andere einen Nutzen hat!
Gruß
Did you stop slingshot shooting, I only know english
Jörg Sprave from TheSlingshotChannel sais, that Thera Band Gold is best. Do you agree?
@Shooter4829
Thanks for the feedback!
Regards
Où je peux trouver ça s'il vous plaît ?
Na dann werde ich`s mal ausprobieren, sieht ja recht machbar aus soweit.
The video is nice, but some narration would have been nice.
Agree.
What is thera bands actual use how the heck do you excerise with that?! xD
These stripes are from yellow Thera band - cut offs.
It is TB yellow - much thinner than TB gold.
I make all my slingshot related stuff myself.
The information writing on the screen disappears too quickly. Your not giving enough time to read it. I cant tell what you're doing. Sorry.
Yes! And I like it faster!
And please make it for 3mm ball and 5mm ball also please.
It'd be nice if there was some noise and if a third of the video wasn't actually out of shot
Vielleicht solltest du dir einfach andere Clips reinpfeifen - irgendwas mit krasser Noise halt...
Ja, sonst halten die Bänder nicht so lange!
@SchwarzerKanal110
No problem Bud!
Sorry Torsten I forgot to mention that I am using XX Theraband Back but not getting the same performance as yourself . Ray
@1611torsten i use 8 - 12mm steel balls
@1611torsten nice work
@HerrOmlet
Auf fadenversand.de gibt es die auch - und auch relativ günstige Ersatzklingen und - wichtig! - die passenden Schneidmatten dazu!
Gruß
I asked my mom she said the same thing xD
Here I used a 3:2 tapering ratio.
What do you mean, mate?
im new and i still find it hard to accept the fact that people use therabands for slingshots. ^.^**
but thera band rocks ! :)
Length: 29cm.
You can see it in the video!
I stretch it!
As if he would, you didn't supply any details or even say please. He doesn't even know who you are.
You must be mad. Slingshot can penetrane human skull with ease and the best of it is the fact of it beign legal everywhere.
@alex12342715
If you are sure then feel free to start to talk - maybe in German for the first time...
You need to talk more though the video instead of using subtitles
it doesnt hurt to talk u know
@mattster468
110,- Euro
Nur zu, nur zu!
Gold is better
