band question
« on: September 24, 2009, 08:26:03 AM »
This question is mostly for Stu because of his knowledge... Now yesterday I had the urge to weld up a nice slingshot frame and what not. But I am in need of a good band, I know Joerge recommends the thera bands but which one should I get. I thought the strongest would be best but I'm not sure if that would be to much to pull or what so any help u guys can give me and any ideas on what to use would be much apprecieted.

I havnt got to try the thera band yet but i think you would be fin with the gold as you have to cut your bands you can just cut it narrower and a bit longer to weaken it Ive been useing exercise band from walmart bout 10 bux for 3 bands 1 strong 1 med 1 week they all work well you just have to use more of the weaker ones to = the stronger one also when trying to fing a length that works find 1 that last longest then make it stronger by adding width or bands  making it shorter will make it shoot faster but at a cost short band life with my extended fork ss  with med bands on it 1 can put a 1/2 nut through ply wood easy cant wait to get some strong onthere or even some gold
hope this helps
