Sheffield Catapults 71 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Natural latex is great, however it's not cheap in the UK as it has to be imported from the states. The difference is only marginal and to most people un-noticeable when shooting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kranky 507 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 There's loads of UK suppliers and manufacturers of latex sheeting. Google them. Latex has softer shooting characteristics compared to TBG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sheffield Catapults 71 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 There are UK suppliers but it still has to come from the US and is more pricey than TBG unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Longevity is also better with natural latex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
