Does cold or heat affect my slingshot bands?

Do I need to be concerned about heat or cold when shooting my slingshot?

Prefer Rumble? Watch it there.

Here's the quick answer to an age old question. And you may well know the answer by now: heat AND cold affect your bandset's ability to retract and send the shot down range. Heat can have a positive effect, but cold will slow your bands down.

Thankfully, we live in a day where latex is made to resist cold and it performs better than ever even in cold temperatures!

This season we will be releasing regularly all season long. We have a lot of questions this season and we'll be sending them out each day!

Give us a like/rumble if you agree and stay tuned. Lots of slingshot goodness headed your way!
