Tied up a set of them at 10" active. For a 50" draw to shoulder. And holy crap cant even get them drawn past my ear hardly. They just dont want to budge past 400% and hit a serious wall. Not the mythical smooth draw of the 2040s I've always heard about...

What elongation factor do you guys usually use for loops?

Just to clarify, are you going for a loop for frameless shooting?

Ah should have made that distinction. Nope. On a Dankung frame. So a loop each side.

Well, from your post, I quickly deduced two things: You have long arms and good math skills.

So, I just cut a 3-1/2 inch section of 2040 off my roll, used a 1/4 inch on each end for gripping and stretched it out to 18 inches on my cutting mat. So my 2040 stretches about 6 times the relaxed length.

I am confident it is Dankung amber latex.

Could your source have given you some sketchy latex?

Regarding your other question, I normally set up flats and tubes to pull about 4 times the relaxed length. I rarely shoot looped tubes though, because singles have all the power I need drawing to 36 or 56 inches.

Hope you get it sorted out!

You should be able to get 50 inches and then some ... Hummmm ? at 6.125" active I get 32.5" draw to the wall ... Something sounds fishy with maybe your material ?

That was my line of thinking as well, sounds like a bad batch 2040 is really reliable in my book

I'll go ahead and give that a try. It's definitely Dankung rubber. Bought it directly from them.

Yeeah. I took my grip out of the equation. Stuck my thumb in the pouch and pulled with it. I could reach 50" but that's a task in and of itself. The stacking past about 40" was quite a bit. I've had black 2040 from simpleshot in the past. Still have a little left. Don't remember it being that stiff. Just pulling on some scraps it seems to hit less of a wall but just pulling on a scrap isn't the same as pulling on a looped set. lol So hard to say.

 

[craigbutnotreally]

Alright I feel kind of stupid now. The scraps seemed to get easier to stretch the more I messed with them. So I decided to go stretch that set I had on the sling out quite a few times to their max. Each time they would go a little further and easier... Finally decided to give a stretch with some ammo in the pouch and what do you know. They hit my anchor no problem. Mostly shoot flats and those "break in" with just a few shots it seems.

Sorry for the useless post guys. lol

Ya, "Mostly Shoot Flats" was the key, the small amount I shoot flats they are SOOO much easier to pull back. Looped 2040 is some pretty potent medicine and in a looped configuration I'm sure it's a handful !!
