Are your bands hitting your hand after the shot? We can help with that!
Are the bands hitting you in the knuckles when you let the shot off? That can be painful and irritating, but it’s avoidable.
Hand slap happens when the bands are too powerful for the projectile, and it's most common with OTT (Over the Top) setups.
Luckily, it's an easy fix! You can lengthen your bands, shoot a heavier projectile, or use lighter weight bands. Hand slap happens when the bands can’t efficiently transfer their energy into the projectile. If the ammo is too light or the bands are too heavy, the bands travel forward of the frame and then snap back into your hand.
