ASK SIMPLESHOT YOUR SLINGSHOT QUESTIONS

Is a wider thinner slingshot band as powerful as a thicker narrow slingshot band set?

Can I get the same power out of my slingshot band that is thinner latex as a thicker slingshot band?

You can definitely use a thinner latex and cut your band set differently to achieve the same power as a thicker band. Thinner latex actually retracts faster, in general, so you can definitely achieve power and speed with thinner latex.


Always make sure you match your band set to your ammo, and cut your band sets to the appropriate size to get the power you need. Thinner latex retracts very quickly, so cutting thinner tax in a wide band will give you excellent power and speed!
