    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?

    Flatband uses double cupped pouches too. I have also a few from him. Great material!

    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.

    The string through the loop to grab the small ties when securing the band to the pouch is much much easier.

  • @1611torsten

    @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.

    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!

  • @Shooter4829

    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

  • @kuime1
    @kuime1 11 років тому

    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.

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

  • @apexpgs
    @apexpgs 11 років тому

    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.

  • @Lvduggo69
    @Lvduggo69 12 років тому

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @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!

  • @1611torsten
    @1611torsten  12 років тому

    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.

  • @1611torsten
    @1611torsten  12 років тому

    Maybe a bit unusual. But what other people do with Theraband is sometimes funny too...

    Why don't you use gold thera band? Don't you think you could get more power?

    • @catapultandhuntingdublin2342
      @catapultandhuntingdublin2342 10 років тому +4

      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.

    What latex do you mean?

  • @1611torsten
    @1611torsten  12 років тому

    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.

  • @1611torsten
    @1611torsten  12 років тому

    I buy it on ebay - usually a whole roll (45 meters). So it is not THAT expensive, around 2 EUR per meter.
