Run_Rabbit85 8 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) ok buddy do you use straight cut or taper 25mm to 20mm? a lad i no has been doing abit of experimenting with the crony and found that a 20mm to 15mm taper generates the same power as the 25mm to 20mm just with an easyer draw he sent me afew band sets to try and find the new taper alot more easyer to work with as ya dont get the hand shake when at full draw or even with singles cut them down to about 6inch pouch to fork and still nock game stone dead atb mate Edited April 22, 2012 by Run_Rabbit85 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 i don't no what they are mate they where made by rk catapults so you would have to ask rob on that front . they measure 8" to the pouch so i think i will have to take some off and re tie them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shellfish 63 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 you cant beat the square elastic imho used to make my strag out of privet bang on killed plenty of game all the best with it gaffer more satisfaction using a catty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 i am a convert from square mate flats seem to be better for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Run_Rabbit85 8 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 flats last longer and are twice as fast as the square. if ther of rob they will be 25mm to 20mm gafer just orderd another catty off him cnt fault his craftmanship will only buy off him and gamekeeper john. if ya tie them down to 6inch without cutting them if that lenght dnt work for you ya can always retie them to what ever suits without wasting the band set mush when i used singles with lead ammo at the standerd length they came in they was great for 9.5mm steels target plinking but hunting they didnt seem to knock oat down with a body shot so cut them to 6inch and what ever game i hit even bunnys they did the trick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
