DANPOV18 16 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hello, I'm new to slingshots, the bands I got with my slingshot just broke and I want some new ones for hunting. I think I'm going to buy gzk but I don't know what type or what thickness. I original bought 12mm steel balls for my slingshot but I only got 50 to test the waters. What band thickness, band type and ammo size do you for your slingshots? I have a Simpleshot Scout LT. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kong33 84 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Green gzk .80 cut at 2025 10mm balls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,943 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Atm I’m shooting a light ( for me) set up which consists of 0.60mm sumeike band cut at 20/15 and 8.5mm steel. Any 0.60mm will punch out 8.5-9.5mm steel no problem. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shortstraw 473 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I’ve got a scout Lt and I use precision pink/ red colour bands at the moment, think it’s either .60/65, 25-20mm. I’m shooting 9.5 balls. I found the precision to last better than the gzk bands....just my opinion. The gzk ( which were at the time ready made bought bands) always went prematurely near to the pouch. Edited April 24, 2020 by Shortstraw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlstoke 31 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Precise red/pink .70 25/20 for 9mm lead 23/18 9.5 steel, precise is a stiffer draw than gzk like for like in thickness but definitely lasts a lot longer, not tried the newer gen3 precise yet though.

Devon Minnow 152 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Long time since I used flat bands, I prefer tubes Orange dub dub for 12mms steel. But when I did use flats 0.76 precise cut 25/20 or double there band gold cut 25/20 or 20/20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
