Just that really. Dumb question showing I have zero experience with flat bands, but why do you need a pouch on a flat band slingshot, I built an office-band catty for paper ball ammo and just pinched the ammo into the band and it worked ok...

Give it a try. Let us know how it works.You don't really need a pouch. People have done exactly as you have done with with your paperball sling, but there must be reason it hasn't caught on.

I suspect that a pouch is more comfortable than thin latex, and that the thin latex lasts much longer if it is not in contact with the ammo every shot.

Hmmmm... This is going to be an interesting thread..........

The pouch centers the ammo and protects the elastic from the ammo.

Once in a while I see pictures of souvenir style slingshots with solid round bands that have a "pouch" formed right into the band. I always thought they looked interesting, but I kinda like the feel of leather.
