WildManoYorks88 8 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is 300 or so shots per bandset and good lifetime for single tapered tbg? Im having to replace at least one side of my set everyday after it breaks at the pouch tie everytime. When attaching pouch I wrap 3 times under medium tension, place my string loop, wrap a further 2 times under medium tension, tuckcthrough the string and pull through.

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Exactly why I changed to tubes. Better off cutting g flats just that bit longer so you can retie them when they snap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Wally 204 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've never counted but i'm sure I get more than 300 out of a bandset. Are you actually maxing the bands out each draw? If so, lengthen the bands slightly so you aren't putting unnecessary strain on the ties every time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just had a search about and looped 1745s look good, but noticed you use 1842s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crackers 807 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 What's best tube for 9.5mm steel ammo?? As in most powerful? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie bravo 572 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Use joerg spraves band calc. If you want longer band life you need a longer band for your draw, and less tapering, but if you want max velocity heavy tapering and shorter bands are the way to go, especially if you can shoot butterfly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
