[MathisSlingshot]

Hello guys!

My Name is Mathis I'm 24 and from Germany.
I just started Shooting slingshots with my lately arrived rambone and it's awesome!
Looking forward to become good in this hobby and start building and trading my own slingshots.

Maybe I can also start with two questions that wanders my mind lately;

1. Has someone tried leatherette instead of leather as a pouch? I wonder if this works as I don't no the material conditions of it. My father has some leatherette rest laying around and I might give it a try.

2. I'm started target shooting and as much as I know my TBG bands are a bit unbalanced/ overpowered for my 8mm steel. Should I use tapered Theraband Black instead or doesn't it really matter at the beginning?

Thanks for your input!
Mathis

Welcome to the forum.
The leatherette I'm not sure about but micro fiber has been really popular. I never thought I would leave leather but micro fiber just lasts so long.
For 8mm I think the blacks would be better suited.
Enjoy the addition my friend.

welcome from the good part of Indiana, USA. Great shooting. Try the leatherette, experimentation is ok. Keep us posted on how it works. Some guys have made woven pouches from thin paracord, others use different kinds of leather from exotic like kangaroo to more mundane cow leather. I got some microfiber pouches that work great.

If you get creative you can get leather from unlikely sources, gloves, old coat,boot you can get some wild colors fro purses and wallets.

Welcome from Canads yes I think the black will work better for you in tapered sets

Hi Mathis

For 8mm steel and Theraband Gold I'd suggest a 20-15mm taper as a good place to start. This will be good for 8mm and 9.5mm steel ball bearings.

The key now is to experiment. Then experiment some more. Find what you enjoy shooting because there are lots of possibilities.
