Flatbands are more efficient (equal speed with lighter draw), have less alignment issues, more mounting options, and seem to last longer (imo). Still, it’s good to know how to use tubes as well, just to cover all your bases. 👍

Saw on a blog where clay ammo holds tubes in place better, and they weigh less. I’ve never tried clay as plugs, but eventually will.

Excellent!

I remember when we cut rubber strips from tire inner tubes and made slingshots from that. An old shoe tongue was easily fashioned into a pouch for the irregular gravel rock or the smooth marbles ... but we did not like shooting the neat marbles at anything because they would not be found again. I wonder if current bicycle tire inner tubes would give decent stretch.

So what I’ve been searching for for a while now is how to attach the pouch to the bands. I have bands attached to the fork, what about pouch attachment? It seems no one is covering this. Does it take special tools to tie surgical tubing to a pouch in this fashion? Thanks

Good video. I hope you still remember but what was the size of the ball and the ID of the tubing? I have 6mm OD and 4mm ID tubing ,the hole in the sling is 6mm would i need a 8mm or 10mm ball?

Not sure on that. Eye protection is a good idea for that reason alone. Every band set fails eventually.

Summary: 1. Push band tubes through holes in slingshot. 2. Insert ball bearings into ends of tubes. 3. Shoot slingshot.

Hey. Why do the balls won't get out of the tube, if you pull these? Is it safe or do you have to make a knot behind the balls or something? Never did this, but I want to build a tube sling shot...but I'm kinda afraid of pulling the balls out of the tube and get a slap in the eyes.

It should work with light ammo. I haven't had a chance to try it.

Alcohol can damage latex over time. By trapping the alcohol vapor inside the tube with the metal ball you may be reducing the life of the slingshot.

The length of the bands and the thickness of the bands determines the draw weight. These are long bands. The draw weight is comparable to a youth bow.

FYI, there's actually a much, much, much easier way to attach tubes to the fork, whether it'd be the hole type or tied around the fork. Here's the secret: Use a 5-8mm small section of extra tube (preferably at least 1745 size thick) to wrap over the end of the slingshot tube, using a tweezer to hold the extra tube open. Then, simply slide the slingshot tube into the hole and it's secured via the extra tube wrapped over the slingshot tube. If you find that the extra tube is not thick enough to secure into the hole, then simply wrap over another extra tubing (experiment with this, I can't get into too much details), or use a thicker one to begin with. The metal ball-in-tube method is actually not anywhere nearly as durable as my method above, since the metal will guarantee to start to tear/rip at the slingshot tube with each draw. With my method, this never, ever becomes an issue as it's only rubber rubbing against rubber.
