    if you have never made bands before , I would go for tubes first . You may be fine making flat bands first but you will get failures untill you get it right . You will get failures with tubes but less they are more forgiving ,

    some weight written out and about for bisley mags are wrong they state a too higher value . also a tighter pellet in the barrel will give different reading its not just weight .

    I made some much better bands for my barnett using rolyan green tube and a 80mm x 20mm homemade pouch .

    making your own is the only way to go . Rolyan orange or green bands with a constrictor not to tie on the pouch is a start or a roller cutter and a cutting mat you will also need to make some kind of jig to tie the bands to gether if you want to try flat bands . tubes are easyer to mess with just need tube and some sort of cord dont tie them to tight .

    IF you can get a scope on that gun it may shoot a little high

    you may want to try different pellets before you go for a tune .JSB use soft lead I believe in their pellets I believe , also a heavyer soft lead pellet will give you more power from a PCP air gun . one extra ft lbs of power can be obtained with different pellets easy .also if your gun is unregulated not sure if it is or not , but if it is unregulated you will also get a power curve .

    I am still using TBG for 9.5 mm steel , chrono are a very usefull thing once you have got one you think how did I manage with out one before .

    i have usde the tubes also , orange and green seemed ok . I would risk trying there bands if cheap or eazy to get , but TBgold has a proven track record and some of the chinese stuff is also good (unless you have the cronofear) , but also if you as the man says in the clint eastwood film ...iz gosta know .. get some and find out . )

    you will have to learn to make your own . tube or flat its the only way

    I have messed with tapered bands did not get on with them haven't bothered to go back and try more . dont think its that big a deal straight or tapered . straight bands like tubes last a bit longer . today there is so many ways to go when I was younger the choice was square rubber 3/16 or 1/4 inch , rubber bands or old push bike inner tube . You will just have to try different things

    your bands have to match your ammo . If I use straight double 15 mm wide theraband gold I shoot 9.5 mm bb say . the band may be a little heavy but its ok . low speed of ammo or bands that are to heavy will effect accuracy .

    I am right eye dominant and hold the frame in my right hand . What I do is I aim with my left eye by closing my right while shooting .when shooting a gun I use my right eye .

    I got one last year an old one used but in good conition , when I got it there was a full length square section spring in it say no more . I have since made a tight spring guide out of brass for an old colapsed hw 35 round wire spring . what I like about the hw hw80 is I have made a few power washers to get the guns power just right , it is so eazy job to do there is no preload so to take the gun apart and add or remove a wash is very easy , also I have another old hw35 spring and with not washers at all it still takes the gun over 12 ft lbs just . So god know what new spring you should put in

    It will take a bit of time working how tight to tie on the pouch . never used tying ribbon but it must have the same problems as other stuff dont tie it to tight your bands will wear out quickly .

    http://slingshotchannel.com/band_calc.html this may help . a cheap catapult may be a problem because of strength or lack of . if you have a ballistic chronograph that will help . as a rough guide if your bands are hurting your hand after you have shot when slapping back , your bands are to strong or your ammo is to light weight .

    NO GOOD for hunting when cold , the first gun you showed at the start of this thread , is better than 99% of most co2 guns .
  19. barrywhite
    they look to be a basic (fx 2000 I think it has some other names ) a good gun if its working as it should . I have read they can leak but look eazy to strip and replace o rings all pcps leak a some piont when the o rings fail over time , but all air guns have seals deteriorating over time .

    I would say your gun is fine , or it can be made to shoot fine . trying to get that gun to shoot well will help you understand whats going on . You could pay money for a gun that is supposed to be good but it could have problems , I have had problems with lots of guns , guns are often not shooting properly when first aquired , I have had some guns that are perfect and still are one is a 97k the other is a tx 200 but their seals may go soon the guns are getting older . super dome pellets are often good or ok in most guns I have had , as stated pionted pellets are no to good but ok at close ran

    light weight 177 pellets are best in 12 ft lbs guns you get you pellet speed near 800 ft per second flat fasts more like a fire arm , In my life time shooting I once killed two rabbits with one shot from a 97k the pellet went through one rabbit and killed the one next to it that I did not see . If can get a little bit more energy at the piont impact with a 177 the pellet will go through the rabbit better ect and if you are trying to shoot at a longer range with a heavy pellet you have to start lobbing shots more . tissue damage I would think will come from a distorted pellet a soft light pell

    what size steel balls would you think was best suited to a black widow out of the box . I dont have one handy to test but going from memmory I would say 12mm .what do you think the ammo that is sold with the black widow is to small I think
  23. barrywhite
    just looked at the steel balls on the site that wasp direct you to , they seem to be a good price as thing stand to day

    only posted this because I just got some .66 green gzk rubber I cut four strips 15mm wide a 9 inch active length a draw of 44 inches shooting 11.5mm lead balls with power of about 13.5 ft lbs this was shot in a cool environment . I just made this catapult I dont know why catapults like this are not mentioned more . you get better power and accuracy and no hand slap . OK you cannot slip it in your pocket .My main reason for thread was the GZK bands I thought would be just the same old hype about this rubber , Its my first set of bands with this stuff it seems very good . I usually use theraband
