Well I have 1636 Amber tubing and pouches coming in from Slingshot Shooting.com and other items coming in from GZK. I'm very, very, very impressed with GZK as I ordered on June 2nd and it will be here UPS on Monday June 8th. Slingshot Shooting.com has taken a bit longer (3 weeks), but no where near as bad as Dankung. I might add that my last order from Slingshot Shooting.com of 3050 tubing was great and packaged very, very well, I'm very happy with them.

I'm excited about getting both these packages as the GXK has a couple of stainless steel slings for flats, black thin attachment tying tape and 1636 Green tubing, Slingshot Shooting has small pouches and amber 1636 tubing. I'll be up to my bacon bits in 1636 tubing for sure, but it is good stuff for "Small Ball" for sure.

I also just ordered some 16 strand Butchers Twine, all cotton. The twine I have now is nice and it is black and white which looks cool, but it is a little thin (strand I think). I wanted the absolutely best twine so I found what Bill Herriman (Tex Shooter) uses and went with that. If bill uses it, then it is good enough for me. Bill has been around a long time as knows his stuff. BTW: his pouches are very, very good, simple, kind of old school by today's multi layer/micro fiber standards, but I love them for shooting with my F-16's for sure, they have hurled many, many, many 5/8" marbles for sure ;- ) - and yes I have a ton of his pouches !

This order is basically for 'Small Ball". Shooting a 1/4" round projectile of Fe+C (steel) traveling at near warp speeds (Capt Kirk) and proving E=mc2 (Einstein). I really don't know what I'm talking about here, but after a couple of beers it sounded good ;- )

I must say, this shooting of small ammo is really a lot of fun on a few different levels .... the speed of the projectile, the use of lighter elastic to get that speed, and the reduction of cost depending on ammo size. !77cal BB's and using single tubes is by far the cheapest way to go. the speed that little guys go out with a minimum of pulling effort makes shooting a joy. That same slingshot set up can be used with 1/4" steel also. The 1/4" is about 5/6 times the cost but a day of shooting 100ea field shots of 1/4" steel comes to about .75 c by today's prices, still a great time of shooting for pennies. if you are shooting in a catch box then your in effect shooting for free.

I'll show you what comes in on Monday, I do hope it is everything ;- )

Well my 1/4" steel arrived a day early, so I'm happy with that. Two boxes of 5000ea that will be added to my treasure trove of ammo. I'm loving this stuff ;- )

GZK arrived also and I got all kinds of goodies. More 1636 tubes all wrapped very nicely, a new flat band slingshot, and some thin tape for wrapping around fork attachments and maybe to be used for singles, I don't know.

But what I got for free was really cool ---- a whole bunch of pouches, some elastic string (that I wanted to try out anyway), a small role of yellow .62 flat material (very nice), a magnetic ring, a wire tool for tucking your rubber wrapped ties and a button of Mr GZK himself ...very, very cool.

My order from Slingshot-shooting still has not arrived, it was delayed a few days at one post office and now it has been delayed again at another post office. If not for the delays it would have been here a week ago. I hope it arrives tomorrow !!!

Well my stuff from Slingshot- Shooting ust arrived and it is very nice, the pouches are perfect for 1/4" steel and the amber 1636 looks very nice and well packages, ust like the 3050 I purchased from them. In addition I received two very nice well built slingshot bags and some targets ... very cool.

I also received my 16 ply cotton butchers twine, and it is so superior to the black and white twine I have. It is a lot thicker and softer. I can use this for pouch and fork attachment, it is great !

I'm going to make another 1636 single tube set now with one of these pouches ;- )

Well I went out tonight at an empty desert area and quickly shot a few under cover ;- ) Man alive I love that little pouch. As a matter of fact I love it so much I bought a bunch more. It is only 43mm long and 13mm wide, just perfect for 6mm,1/4", 7mm and 8mm ---nothing bigger.

This is, for me going to be my "Go To" small ball pouch .... but the hole in the middle is a little big for 177 cal BB's so I have to contact cement a tiny piece of Tyvek and then BB's would be fine. I have used a piece of Tyvek before and it works great, it is very light and very strong.

Below is a pic with a 1/4" steel ball in the pouch --

Note: The ball is perfectly round but the lighting from on top makes it look oval, it's not ;- )

Yes, this was the fastest I have ever been shipped anything from China. The box was pretty beat up like someone ran it over here ;- ) but everything in it was OK perfect.

I'm getting ready to order more of those pouches, they are absolutely perfect for my use. I have others coming so I'll be set for 'Small Ball" stuff for sure !!

My order came so fast from GZK, I just ordered more stuff today from them. In the meanwhile my stuff from Slingshooting is still in China ... They have nice items but they need to pick up the ball as far as fast shipping is concerned.

Gzk has been 5-6 working days from date of order to NV for me last 2 orders and that's during covid. Still waiting on my order from slingshooting.com but it's only been 7 days so figure another week or so for sure.
Gzk u truly get a lot of freebies on top of good price.

Just got my order from Slingshooting. It was a bunch of the little blue pouches as above. My order from GZK of the black B43 pouches has not left the factory yet, probably because it is a large order and he may not have all the items.

Another order from Slingshooting has been on its way for a couple of weeks and it landed at LAX a day ago. It is for 48mmx15mm pouches for 3/8" steel ball exclusively, just like the small blue pouch above but a little bit bigger.

I'm loving these small pouches for "Small Ball"

My Slingshooting order just left from the next city over, so I should get it tomorrow or Monday. I'm hoping I get them in tomorrow, but I have another style 48mm pouch for 3/8" steel. I may use tomorrow if I tie a 1842 Pseudo on one of my slings. which I just may do ;- )

My GZK order still has not shipped probably because of the amount of pouches I ordered. They are the small black ones above with the side holes.

My order came in late Saturday and the pouches are just fantastic. They are 48mm x 15mm x 8mm and are perfect for 3/8" ball, and great for 1/4", 5/16" also. What makes these especially nice is the hole in the middle is quite small so yes, the can be used for .177 call BB's without any hoopla ;- ) They are a little big for BB's but they will work fine.

Pictures below is the pouch with a 3/8" ball, the open pouch showing the small hole and then the pouch with a .177 cal BB in it.
