Good job my man. That is some serious power thank goodness that missed you....

 

[M.J]

WOW!!

Now THAT is a "hand cannon"!

What do you think caused the backfire? Please be careful, we would hate to lose you to a 50 lb/ft "RTS" (Return to Sender, what many of us call a backfire).

Fantastic looking slingshot, too!

 

[Beanflip]

Awesome!

 

[Charles]

What a fantastic display of power! Congratulations!!!! And man oh man, if that backfire had caught you in the forehead, we would not be getting any more videos from you ... be careful! Thanks so much for the video. I thought you were going to blow the back wall out!!!

Cheers ..... Charles

 

[Tobse]

Thanks, this slingshot and bands are not bad.

The RTS shots was just fun because nothing is happened it could have ended differently, I had good luck

i think about upload a video with more details from the RTS Shots?

i have no idea why they came back.

i made a few pics from the pouch, it was actually a good pouch.

 

[Charles]

The only thing I can see is that maybe all that power stretched the hole in the pouch enough to grip the ball. But that was really scary!

Cheers .... Charles

 

[Tobse]

The hole was not very large, i made you a few pics you can see the crater in this 20mm bord and also the damage in the sandstone wall behind me.

Anyway, if i had no return shots i think i can made 60 m/s - 120 Joule.

If some one stronger and taller than me, he can made much more.

 

[Henry the Hermit]

Fantastic power! Not to mention fantastic luck. Sorry I'm late to the party, but we had guests yesterday and I slept late this morning. Anyway, congratulations, Tobias. That gives you a very comfortable lead over the #2 guy in Power Freaks.

 

[Tobse]

Thanks Henry!

i can tell you it feels so good to have luck

's see how long it takes until I'm number two. << this rate has written google

 

[Charles]

All right ... Henry has been making fun of me because I am younger than he is, but my power shots are down near the bottom of the heap ... heavy sigh ...

Soooo, I figured it was time for me to regain my manhood. My video is below ... here are the details.

Frame: extended King Cat

Bands: Alliance Sterling 107s, half doubled

Band length: 12.5 inches fork to pouch tie

Draw length: about 52 inches

Ammo: 255 grain steel ball (weighed on my digital scale)

Top 3 velocities: 203.3, 200.5, 208.0 all in fps

Energy at top velocity: 24.5 fpe, 33.22 joules

O.K. Henry ... over to you!!!!

Cheers .... Charles

 

[BC-Slinger]

You are the :king: of office rubber Charles. :bowdown:

 

[Henry the Hermit]

Congratulations, young feller. You know, of course, this means war! LOL!

Time for me to duck and cover!!! :rofl:

Great fun, Henry!

Cheers ..... Charles

Well, we all rise to the level of our incompetence! It does not match your result, but I do appreciate your complement.

Cheers ...... Charles

 

[Tobse]

Well done charles!

have you ever thought about 20 mm? they are great for this topic

Thanks for the kind words. For these bands, I think 20 mm steel is too heavy to make the cut-off velocity of 180 fps. I just used some steel balls that weigh 332 grains = 21.513 grams to shoot 192.9 fps, which gives 27.44 fpe = 37.20 joules. (The video will be up soon.) The bands just might be able to push a 350 grain ball over the 180 fps limit, but I do not have anything at that weight. I do have larger steel balls, but they are too heavy for those office rubber bands.

I sure wish I had your strength so I could pull full butterfly with a regular frame!!!

Cheers ..... Charles

Well done charles!

[Tobse]

Your right! you need speed for the Joules... i also like the 20mm more than the 25mm because they are faster it´s speed and power.

just in case you want to test my standard bands i use for 16mm steel (around 80 m/s)

cut 36mm fork side 18mm pouch side two layer per side old TB Gold 30cm long / 155 cm draw lenght these are no powerbands but they are quite strong.

 

[Charles]

Thanks for the specs, Tobias. When my joints recover from my last shooting session, I may give it a try.

Cheers ....... Charles

Here is my effort for today. I managed to up my energy level to 27.44 fpe = 37.20 joules.

Frame: extended King Cat

Bands: Alliance Sterling 107s, half doubled

Band length: 12.5 inches fork to pouch tie

Draw length: about 52 inches

Ammo: 332 grain steel ball (weighed on my digital scale)

Top 3 velocities: 188.3, 191.7, 192.9 all in fps

Energy at top velocity: 27.44 fpe, 37.20 joules

Not too shabby for office rubber bands ... Just trying to stay ahead of Henry!!! :wave:

Cheers ........ Charles

 

[BC-Slinger]

Wow great slinging Charles. soon you will be in the 30 pounds club . :thumbsup: Yet again very impressive numbers with office rubber.

Long live the :king:
