Looking for powerful or heavy bands for your slingshot?
The first thing to consider when looking for powerful bands for your slingshot is your ammo size. If you are shooting light ammo, heavy bands WILL NOT necessarily lead to a faster shot! Your bands must be matched to your projectile for best performance. Check out this article to learn more:
We offer our bands in categories that are matched to the most common size projectiles. To learn more about how to select the best bands for your ammo, check out this article:
The long and short of the story is that if you want to shoot really heavy, powerful bands accurately, you need to understand the following:
- Heavy bands don't shoot light ammo faster
- Heavy bands hide bad form with your release. If you don't have the pinch strength required to make a clean release, you will only miss your target faster and develop bad habits.
- Bands should always be matched to the projectile you intend to shoot for best performance and accuracy.
- More is not necessarily better!
