C.green 3,231 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I use it now and again mate but some real good stuff about now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shortstraw 476 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Am I on the right track thinking lazzy means bands? If no ignore below. If so I’ve got .66 green gzk and .58 anti cold gzk.......shoots well it’s longevity is shit especially the .58 black anti cold.....can’t have had 100 shots through last two bands before it snapped at pouch. Had precise which lasted longer than the gzk......and equally if not better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,231 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Try the 1mm black lasts for ages made if used feom when its freshly cut and made. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlstoke 34 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Got gzk green .66 longevity is crap, just snaps without warning anywhere from the pouch tie to the fork tie,gzk green .72 seems to last a bit longer, starts to rip at or just in front of the pouch ties, got .72 gzk black also prone to sudden snapping anywhere, got .72 gzk orange lasts longer than the green and black not as powerful and a softer draw, also got .70 red precise gen 1 lasts longer than gzk but if temp dips into single figures power drops right off. had lots of hard face slaps with gzk, be warned folks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I shoot 1mm sheshou with 11/12mm steel it’s good stuff, never had it snap or tear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 That’s the only one I’ve shot that’s 1mm , it’s soft ( if that makes sence ) compared to other makes , I shoot gzk and catty shack.8 which are sharp when you shoot em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Thanks.....I’ve just ordered the .75 sheshou, from cattyshack, probably over kill for the 8mm I’ve got at the minute....but looking forward to trying it If you ever order a band template they’re £8.95 cheaper at Celticcattys as apposed to cattyshack and they do all sizes of taper.

Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not sure if it will be any good for 8mm I’d have thought more 9.5mm , let us know. Yeah I got my template from Celtic cattys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I got my template from Celtic cattys Expand I’ll keep you updated........ Band came today. .75 sheshou...cut 18/13mm 15cm active....only had time for a little shoot up in woods. It shoots it well, if it’s faster/ hits harder than the gzk .66 I’m not sure yet. Slightly harder draw, but I bet it last longer than the gzk. I’m happy with it, but until I shoot some more with it I can’t really compare to the .66. Green gzk. Is it over powered....it doesn’t seem so to me, but I’m no expert.....but I’d say no at the taper etc I’m using with it.....I’m happy up to now, be interesting to see on its longevity compares to the green gzk.

Shortstraw 476 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was intending to go for .7 sheshou as a change from .65 green gzk to see how the 8mm handled it, but unfortunately cattyshack didn’t have it at this thickness, 0.65 sold out and .75 was next step up in stock. I’m not a big gzk fan as for me it can split way too soon. I reckon my black .58 had less than one hundred shots before it snapped.....this happened I think both times I shot it up to now.....maybe a bad batch, who knows. My bands are tapered from 18/13mm, active 15cm for 8mm. Before this I was shooting 9.5 25/20mm and around .65...... a combination I like, but I suffer with my muscles so thought I’d try the 8mm which allows the lighter draw on the smaller taper ( also just to see what all the rave is about regarding 8mm at the moment). I don’t know if your latest scout lt bands were the same thickness/ taper as mine, was told it was .7, but it was tough stuff to pull back...seemed way tougher to pull back than other brands that thickness, however it the bands felt like they would last, had a certain robustness about them.

Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I’ve tried.6 sumeike cut at 20/15 for 8mm and to me it seems too much band for the ammo. I have a load of 8mm and my son uses them with.6 gzk and it’s like a guns gone off when he fires. I’m hearing good things about 100% slingshot bands atm and I might get some .45 for the 8mm. I’ve put the simpleshot band set away , I don’t want to try it tbf , don’t like paying the customs on anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
