Simple slingshot band comparison

PocketPredator.com band comparison. Using only 3/8" steel because it's the most popular and most used ammo I have.
Compared were; black 1745 looped tubes, amber 1745 tubes, amber 2040, yellow Daisy tubes, red theraband tubes, black "hunter" tubes, .03 single side latex target bands, gold theraband straight cut single per side, solid 5/16 black and chained platinum crepe rubber bands.

Of course the .03 latex is the fastest with gold theraband in second... most everything else is pretty close ranging from 220 fps - 255 fps. The only exception is really the big thick hunter tubes and the chained rubber bands came in at around 200 fps at my maximum draw and pull for each set.

Where can I buy natural latex? You got all of them lol. Great video!

Ok but will that light latex band push a carbon arrow with the same force as the black tube ? I would rather survive off rabbit than bird .

I've gone through 4 or 5 daisy tubings. I really don't like them

Some math: A 3/8" steel(3.6g) traveling at 250 ft/sec = 12 ft-lbs

For comparison a 22lr pushes at 115 ft-lbs

Just a quick tip for ammo, go to your local arts and crafts store and get some glass marbles, they're perfect and you can get a lot for cheap.
