Anybody have any good suggestions for small but powerful tubes for shooting 3/8 steel?

All suggestions welcome

Thanks, Slingshot28

To insert one tube into another, use a round nose pliers or a circlip remover. Then, using two hemostatic clamps, I stretch it and tie it with an amber tape. I put a piece of tube on top of the winding for aesthetics. If it is not very clear, I will take a photo, but later.

I do a loop 1632 tube set for my 8mm Steel. They are fast for target shooting and I believe 3/8" would also be fast enough for target shooting at a distance of 10 meters or less. Definitely not for hunting or longer than 10 meters in my opinion.

Cheers
