Hello,
i have a typical cheap chinese slingshot, which has the width of the fork officially 20 mm, but probably the bands are around 22mm, for now I'm training with 20 mm bands, but I want to switch to 25mm in the future, can I assume such bands for this slingshot, nothing will not happen as the rubber will protrude slightly behind the support, or is there a trick to make it possible to wear wider bands?
Cheers

Fold the bands on the end to accommodate the width of the fork tips

I fold and tie mine with the crease to the inside.

thanks for the answers, here I found a guy shooting with too wide bands, does such an assumption make sense?

Looking at the video I don't think what he's doing is dangerous at all. As long as the corners and edges of the fork are not going to rip or damage your bands I don't see any issue other than a minor loss of energy.

Wouldn't the band narrow enough to be supported fully by the fork once the band gets drawn back anyway?

It does if it's cut and placed just right. I make mine 1/16"+ over on each side of the fork and it draws back perfectly over or around the complete width of the fork.
