I tried this combination yesterday.

Very consistent 200 fps rubber for shooting glass marbles with a very light draw.

All the tying details are visible.

Nice idea

Have you tried to loop them?

Yes, I looped a set of all Red.

This dual color system seems neater and more effective.

It feels fine.

Also, the snare knot holds better on a single tube than with two.

I like to test different things.

(Have you noticed the pouch tying method that uses a tiny hole?)

Please try a slingshot on a stick.

I am eager to hear about the experience of others.

Will the string tied onto the rubber cut the band after some pulling? Frogmen

Never happened in thousands of shots.

Do you know a method that does not require string when attaching rubber to leather pouches?

Yes, there is a way to attach rubber to leather pouches that does not require string, if you are talking about tubular rubber.

Most mass-market tube slingshots use this method, and you can do it yourself at home as well.

It is detailed in Jack Koehler's book, "Slingshot Shooting." Pages 56 - 57. That is the procedure of burning a small hole in the tube, going through your pouch with the tube, and then running the tube back through the hole. This way is most common, I think.

Another method is even shown on pages 52 through 55. That way uses a piece of tube to attach the tube back to itself after it goes through the pouch. I didn't even know of this way until I read the book. Jack Koehler seems to prefer this way (figures 4-16 and 4-17) because it doesn't squeeze the pouch and bend the end.

Get the book from Jack at SUPERSHOOTING.COM. It's a must have for slingshot shooters.
