SimpleShot Premium Latex Tube
Admired for the small diameter tube's snappy retraction, easy use, and durability.
We offer four sizes of SimpleShot Premium tubing, each having specific advantages for a given application. Generally speaking, the thinner the wall thickness, the faster the rubber will retract.
- Single strand 2040 is excellent for lighter ammo such as 5/16" steel and marbles while shot in a doubled (looped) configuration, it can be very effective for 7/16".
- 1842 is an excellent choice for shooting 3/8" steel in a single strand configuration up to 1/2" steel or 12mm lead in doubled or 'looped' configuration.
- 1745 in a looped setup is excellent for shooting heavy ammo.
- 1632 in a looped setup is great for shooting smaller ammo like 5/16".
2040, 1842, 1745, and 1632 are sold in ten meter (10m) increments.
Long lasting. Great performance.

Best lasting quality out there!
I love these tubes. They pretty much last a long time and for its general usage either in summer or winter it still performs well. Durable and effective.

Totally tubular Dude
A nice draw and quiet upon release compared to flats. Great for shooting and hanging targets.


Trying and really liking SS latex DIY looped tube bands
Decided to try shooting tubes after a good bit of flatband shooting and DIY. I actually am liking tubes a lot. Started with DIY 1632 and 2040 looped tubes intending to shoot 5/16 and 3/8 steel ammo. The 1632 looped is very easy shooting but a little too slow for me. The 2040 looped strains with 3/8 but is shooting very nicely with the 5/16. It's providing reasonable speed (but notably slower than flats) but with great band life and accuracy. For practice/target shooting, I'm finding SS latex tubes to work great. It's a pleasure to just tie up a set (crystal string or band tape, small micro pouch) and be able to put down and pick up and shoot for days in a row w/o band concerns. I'll shoot bands when I need more power or the speed for distance, but looped tubes are actually pretty sweet. Recommend SS tube for sure.

Love em!
Just absolutely love these tubes. Easy to work with, snappy, consistent....shooting frameless with 1632 and kangaroo bb pouches. So much fun.
