Hi Mansell, I didn't think Coacktail bands would last less.
Do you have any idea how they compare to normal bands? Like, the last half the time? More? Less?
I am also curious to know where they tear. My normal bandsets tear were the tube contacts the slingshot, at the middle of the loop.
If you get the tools let me know your thought on the whole process (it looks tiresome).
Thanks for the test, Mansell, I am completely surprised at the results!
I always used Normal 1745 (with 10mm steel balls), and now I find that 2040 is just as good, with lighter draw weight (meaning less effort and better accuracy). I will need to take this into account next time I purchase tubes.
Thanks again for the tests.
I recently purchased a second Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot, as this is my preferred slingshot. There’s really not much to add to the review I did a few months ago, as the slingshot is basically the same.
However, this time I asked for a Black slingshot, and I noticed this version is slightly heavier (64gr instead of 55gr), and thicker than the Brown slingshot I already had. This does not add much bulk to the slingshot, but it looks sturdier.
As I mentioned before, I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic, my Brown slingshot really feels sturdy. In any case, if you feel the need for a sturdier slingshot, go for the Black color option.
Regarding the tests you made, do you know the weight of the 9.5mm and 12mm steel balls you shot?
