I have the band maker tool, but I don't understand how to use it. I can get to step 7 but steps 8 and 9 aren't clear enough. Please help.
The precise .6 green and the .75 orange are great products for the catapult enthusiast! Also the new tying ribbon material is really good as well as the pouch tying jig.
I like the .25 (I think it is) solid rubber for tying the band sets to the catapult frames.
Many thanks,
I recently received a free Jungle Hunter slingshot from Dankung. Dankung explains that the Jungle Hunter is ‘designed in USA’, and specially adapted for western shooters (considering the different hand size and shooting style).
Compared to my General slingshot, the Jungle Hunter is significantly taller, with most of the additional height in the handle, but some additional height in the fork, too. The Jungle Hunter is also wider (mostly the fork), and it has straighter lines. As it is to be expected, this size increase comes with a weight increase, going up to 143gr (while the General has a weight of 112gr).
Both slingshots are made by casting the Stainless Steel into a mold, not from cold-bent rods. As for the finish, the General is fully polished, while the Jungle Hunter is not (unpolished areas are the inside of the handle, and the gaps in the ‘ears’ of the forks, where the rubber bands are attached).
The Jungle Hunter feels very sturdy, but it also feels a little heavy in the hand. It is a straight (non-ergonomic) model, and the forks have no grooves to help keep the tubing in place.
I can comfortably shoot the General slingshot using a Chinese style grip. The Jungle Hunter, is little big for me to use a Chinese style grip, though I can manage. For a hammer grip, I find that the handle is too thin, and would need lots of wrapping. Instead, I may add a wooden grip to the handle (much like Joerg Sprave did with a Panther slingshot).
Since my hands are not particularly big, I prefer the General slingshot over the Jungle Hunter.
This is an excellent piece of equipment a must have for all flatband shooter's
I find .7 mm precise band 20mm-30mm tapers handle 12 and 14 mm steel excellent fast and accurate
I was holding the pouch like i do to shoot regular slingshots , also my pouch is much bigger , I am determined to get it right so i have much practicing to do
please notice your rear hand should pinch the ammo rather than the pouch, this is a big different from traditional dankung slingshots
Hi , I love this slingshot but i hit the frame ( the part that covers my thumb ) every time i shoot , can anyone please help me , I cant find any videos or instructions explaining how to shoot it , I have many slingshots and I love shooting , Thank you PLEASE HELP ME ... Larry
I've order the DK's Flatband Palm Thunder and it show up at my door few days ago just in time for some christmas shooting, as i expected this is a Very High Quality hand made Cold Band slingshot as i own many of DK's "Ergonomic" i was sceptical about how comfortable can a Non Ergonomic slingshot be, but to my own surprise it's actually very comfortable to hold it actually fit my palm very well at the same time this is a flat and small slingshot if use thicker flatband "0.75 - 1mm" it really can become a Pocket Hunter i am Supper Happy with it. Dankung.com You have done it again.
"Steps 8" is to help you get the tube through the hole of the pouch, you insert the band maker like how the photo did, than you insert tube between the space between the band maker, than pull out the band maker with the tube than you end up with the tube in the small hole of the pouch.
"Steps 9" is to secure the pouch between the tube, you insert the tool under tube stopper you just make at Step 7, than you insert the tube that came out of other side of the pouch, inset the tube between the tool than pull the tool back out with the tube under the stopper than hopefully what you see would be "Step 10"..Hope this can help..^_^
