Good day to you all,

What will generate the most speed and/or power?

- 2x bands on each side of 0,6 mm natural latex

- 1x bands on each side of 1,2 mm natural latex

Of course the bands have the same length and tapering.

I do not have a chronograph, so I was hoping one of you has tested this and knows the answer.

Thanks in advance!!

Almost forgot. The preferred ammo is 10mm lead.

Thanks for the reactions.

I have a draw length of 35,5" and at the moment I am shooting with standard bands from China. I ordered a piece of 1,2 mm natural latex and soon I will order some Theraband gold also. I have not made my own bands yet. Me and a friend are shooting cans in a barn. Of course a light weight set-up should be sufficient, but we have the irresistible urge to max out the performance of our slingshots using 10 mm lead which we make ourselves.

The fork side of my slingshot is 22 mm, so I guess the bands can not be bigger than that.

What is the best band setup for shooting maximum speed and power with 10 mm lead ammo using 1.2 mm natural latex or Theraband gold?

I have used the calculator of Jörg. I want to start with a tapering of 22mm / 10mm.

The fork side of my slingshot is 22 mm, so I guess the bands can not be bigger than that.

Often my forks are narrower than my bands, and then i symply fold my bands in half at the fork.
Worked well for me so far

Does this not effect the accuracy?
