Ripping and Tearing!!!
I’m glad I bought three sets of these bands! I’m shooting hex nuts and half inch steel balls and good ole marbles. I’m not that good a shot at distance but at close range these bands destroy cans,jugs,anything you want to bust up !

Different bands
Up to now as a beginner I have always used the standard band set, 7/16” that came with the slingshots I purchased. I struggled with developing a good grip on the pouch with these bands. That folks at SimpleShot help me understand the difference in the band sets and the appropriate ammo. Using the 5/16” band set with clay and 5/16” steel ammo has helped me to develop a better grip, and to avoid the “speed bump” affect. Not perfect, but I am beginning to see some consistency, and a bit better grouping of my shots.

Good light bands for small steel ammo
Simpleshot always has the longest lasting bands. Their lighter bands are no different. Light draw with a quick snap on some 8m steel and I was having a blast plinking targets.

The absolute best company to work with
They will get you started on the right foot! They will help you with anything and if you do have a question they will respond, careful to look in your spam folder if you dont have them saved as a contact or if you just dont see a response. They have solid products and solid customer service and are a delight to deal with, no im not payed and haven't received anything free other than some bands that didn't work out for me they replaced so this is my honest experience with simple shot absolutely awesome group there their slingshot really are second to none and they seriously are on top of their game so if you are thinking about it go ahead without worry and get a sling a catchbox and they will guild you in setting up the right band for your ammo choice plus they have videos on about anything you can think of.

General purpose flat bands
I like them very much I can shoot 3/8 size spherical ammo. I can also shoot my hard clay ammo. Long lasting perfect amount of pull resistance. Not too tight not too weak when you stretch out your flat bands. Would recommend these flatband set for general purpose all around shooting and like I said they work great for the clay light clay ammo.
