How To Make A Tubular Slingshot Band Set

- How to make tubular slingshot bands. This tutorial will show you how to tie elastic tube to a slingshot pouch with the wrap and tuck method. I will be using a jig, that I showed how to make in a previous build video, (you can find the link below). But you can do this exactly the same without a jig, it's just a lot harder to hold everything. You can use any type of elastic for the tying. I am using strips of latex which is the same material that the bands are made out of, but regular rubber bands will work just as well. Making your own bands is super cheap, and surprisingly simple to do! I hope you will try it for yourself!

Isaiah 40: Verse 28-31 "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Please leave me a comment or a like if you enjoyed! Any and all support is appreciated! Thanks, Josh
good thinking. this is great, nice job. i was less than optimistic that i would find a video on how to do this, but a simple search "how to make a slingshot rubber" brought me here, and i was so glad, i just knew i would strike out, but hey, wonders never cease. great video
+Jess Evans Thank you! I am glad you found it helpful!
A very clear and concise tutorial. Great job!
+The Slingshot King Thanks so much man! Means a lot :).

Very clear instruction. Well done
Thank you!
I use small zip ties to fasten them. Just gotta trim it up nicely and it hold forever. It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the sling shot at all.
I've heard of people doing that. It's a great idea. Just have to be careful that the zip tie doesn't cut the bands.
Excellent video!
Made my job easier.
can you put a heat shrink tubing over that when your all done?
Possibly. I haven't tried it so I can't tell you for sure. A small piece of tubular rubber might work as a cover as well.
This is what I was as looking for thanx
Sure thing!
what if u use zipties to tie the bands to the pouch ?
I have seen people do that so I know it can work. The issue is the edges of the zip ties can cut into the bands and decrease their longevity. It's generally good to put a piece of tubular rubber or something similar over the bands first and then the zip tie over that. They can also really hurt your hands if you get any band slap. So it can work but it's not very elegant or practical.
@@sharpshooterjd Thanx for the info I will experiment 😁
@@TheDukanu sure thing, have fun!
Without rubber bands, how do you make the slit to feed in the end?
You could replace my family, you could replace everyone I know, you got subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!!!
Thanks a pretty deep statement.
Are tubular or Flat bands better for a slingshot?
Typically flat bands are faster with a lighter draw weight, and can be more accurate, while tubular bands are slower and have a heavier draw weight, but can be better for heavy ammo.
@@sharpshooterjd thanks, i'm currently making my own slingshot.
@@chall-us6de Nice! Have fun with it.
We were poor, made all of ours out of old innertubes, cutting strips with a pair of scissors. We used wrap and tuck also.
Jean Strong I think for a long time that was the only elastic that was widely available wasn't it?
Modern latex is really amazing stuff. We're lucky to get to use such pure latex now with such high elongation and rebound.
indeed, and rubber bands are much easier to tie with. It wasn't easy cutting inner tubes into straight strips. As I look back on those years and plink away in my back yard with Drone Whacker (a partially hand made and uniquely Alaskan slingshot, the pouch made out of duct tape LOL) I'm surprised at the range, accuracy and power of those old inner tubes. We used to be able to whack birds out of our crops pretty easily. Nowadays I am not quite that good; I miss the juice bottles as much as I hit them. I have a little better luck with a three or four inch square of duct tape on a tree at around 30 feet. The bottles are a bit further away so are more of a challenge.
Back then rubber bands weren't anywhere close to the quality needed to tie, hence the painstakingly cut strips of inner tube.
Jean Strong That's some really cool memories man. Thanks for sharing. Pretty crazy that those inner tubes worked that well. It's amazing what we can make work when we really want it to and when we don't know any better lol.
I've made rock slings out of paracord and duct tape that I think are the bees knees. Just got to use what you have and make it work!
You can do that is r just cut a hole in the tube band and put the other end in it is tighter and less work.
That's cool! I haven't tried that, I would be worried about longevity though. How do they hold up?
@@sharpshooterjd Although many Chinese pre-made band and pouch sets uses the "cut (or tear) in the tube" method, unfortunately, they break easily...always, tie tube bands with rubber, like what you did; they'd last longer (up to 1200 shots on my experience). The best way to tie tube bands is by using a piece of the tube itself and loop it around the bands but it's a complicated process... th-cam.com/video/ixGp-7unAQs/w-d-xo.html
Well done
Thank you!
top tip bro ta
nice vid dude!!
+Rajiv Lackchan Thanks man!
I can’t find replacement tube latex the right size for my slingshot. Lowes and Home Depot both sell tan 1/4 inch ID latex tube in the plumbing section, I don’t know if it is strong enough to work. I used plastic dip paint to dip the slingshot into to increase the slingshot diameter size. I might need to dip it a few more times before the 1/4 inch ID latex tube will work. I hope someone knows where to buy latex tube.
Ace hardware , $2.69 per foot ,
When you say you used strips of laytex to wrap the bands, could I use strips cut from a thin latex glove?
That should work! I think you can also use strips from a latex balloon, although it doesn't work quite as well. As long as you wrap it tight, it should hold just fine :).
Not all latex is created equal, I found that out the hard way last week. I recently bought rubber exercise band in a big sports store, similar stuff to Theraband but different color. I cut thin strips from it for tying my bands to fork and on the third or fourth shot the bands came loose from the fork nearly hitting my eye. So be warned! I immediately threw the stuff away because it also smelled nauseating despite it being labelled as 100% latex.
couldnt make out what the wrap was made from, i know i heard tubing, or you can use "terrapin gold", but when i googled it it came up ale??, but i guess you could use about anything, i mean even sewing thread wrapped tight enough, and wrapped several times could possibly work just fine, dont you think...excuse the ignorance this will be my first one so i haven't been thru the trial and error part yet
+Jess Evans I said Theraband Gold. You can also use strips of latex, office rubber bands, or waxed thread. Just be careful with thread, if done too tight it can cut the bands. Use a constrictor knot for best results :). If you have any more questions let me know!
Why not use a constrictor knot instead warping the elastic ?
They both work and I use both methods. Some people prefer one over the other. I have tutorials on both. I find this method to be a little slower, but easier to do and more reliable, so I tend to use it more often.
Nice tuto, thankzz for sharing :-)
+lancepierres Your are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
hey,where do u get your pouches???

+sharpshooterjd I like how your not scared of showing your faith in Christ
Thanks man :). I have been very negligent about it in the past. I just hope I can inspire someone to look up the verse and start reading :).
and bands?????
Oooohannnnnnnn
Please make for me
Hi
ये रबर कहाँ मीलते है
Quicker method: Use small cable tie.
Quicker method to go through band sets.
There are many similar projects in Stodoys's plans.
