- Theraband Gold Review and Speed Test
In this video I will review Theraband gold. With a taper of 24-12 and maxed out elongation I will test the speed, draw weight, penatration and overall feel of the bands.

i still have about a metre of this in my box , the taper you used surprised me with the indoor speed tests , one thing i always loved about theraband gold was the smell , its well nice
Lol its true it doesn't have that nasty funk about it like some other bands. I was surprised with the speeds too. 24-12 shoot really nice and I bet you in temps around 24°c these 8mm steel will be screaming fast.
That sweet smell is intoxicating. Once in a while I have to open my sealed bag of theraband gold and take a quick sniff.
@@rikulaatikainen1929 It does smell good! :)
glad to see you back, I still use a type of Thera band myself. I use the blue for long draw. with 9mm clay and 8mm steel, with a 20/15 taper, and about a 250mm active band.
Nice. I haven't tried any of the other theraband elastic. I might give it a shot.
@@ATOMark the blue is a .38 thick. It’s definitely for light ammo. Also good for long draw/ butterfly
Always an honest review 👍
Hi Bro!
My flat bands were always TBG, I only recently started using other brands.
We used to double up TBG and shoot big leads with TTF slingshots :)
Really appreciate these reviews. I’m in Ottawa, Canada myself. The cold is always a problem!
Oh cool, it's nice to hear from another Canadian shooter. I agree the cold can be challenging.
Glad to see you back mark excellent review of theraband gold 👍🏻
Thanks buddy. I didn't end up getting my surgery. It got postponed 😕 . I don't have a new date yet but I am hoping for one soon.
@@ATOMark hope you get it soon 🤞🏻
TBG still pretty good looks like. Nice test!
Always a good standby vicar!
Hi great video, EXCELLENT shooting. I had a question and I know your busy and if you can't answer thats fine, I recently pulled out my old cobra sling shot ( i love that nostalgic platform) and placed a TBG on ( 20 -25 mm the description of the bands said) her and she performed astonishingly well (7 inch cut) now as of today after only a dozen or so shots with 8 inch steel balls one band snapped. Should I double the band or adjust the length? Any longer I'd have to be 6'6 I'm 5'8.. Thanks and Great vids as always
Love it. Like I said. I have a roll. So it will be used.
Hi Mark. Great video and shooting as always.
Maybe iscor targets shooting next?
Greetings from Poland
I will be going back to the iscor challenges as soon as my eyes are fixed. I did the first 4 just have the last ones left now.
Can't beat good old theraband it's the only flat band I use for hunting and target shooting aslo great video
Thanks man. I have some blue coming for a light setup for target shooting. I'm curious to see how they perform
I look forward to seeing the vid man
I call it Theraband Mustard. And I love it. We have to understand its elongation-force characteristic. It is different. But when I cut the right size, it works exactly as good (in good weather) as any hyped flatband. And it has fragnance - while the others smell. :))
Yup true. They seem to shoot really well in normal weather but they do not like the cold. All the theraband i have tried before shooting this video was pre-made over built stupid heavy bands. Which honestly made me not like them. After trying my own cuts I am pretty impressed with them. They shoot better than some modern bands....... oh ya I agree 100% they are the best smelling bands on the market.
Exactly theraband is all about the proper taper you can dramatically effect how fast or slow you’re shooting by which angle you cut it at. I cut some bands fat as rock tossers and others are what I call petites or fast bands and they’re one mil by two mil and they’re more snappy and accurate.
@@ATOMark Yeah they don’t like the cold mess around with your taper theraband takes some tuning but once you find your perfect measurement you can make some super snappy and accurate bands.
Great vid! Theraband gold is awesome in the summer but they're horrible in the winter imo.
Ya they really do dip in performance in the cold. I have to say though. After trying one of my tapers and not double bands or monster tapers. I like them. If I can get them at a good price I would shoot them more often. I wouldn't mind trying some of the other bands and testing them out.
Nice mate...I saw you dropped a truck going by at the back... Lol...
Lol he never knew what hit him. Lol
Theraband gold , that was blast from the past . Be interested to hear how you find they compare to modern bands long term . I always used to find they just kept elongating with use and I'd have keep re-tying them to get back to the right draw length .
I found that was happening with this set too. I did my 20 or so shots to warm up the bands snd when I speed tested them they had a little more stretch. The thing is, I pre-stretch my bands when I make them. I will shoot these bands until they fail and see how much longer they get. I will do an update video.
@@ATOMark I think modern bands are more consistent over their lifespan . I remember when Theraband was the only option , never imagined we'd have the range of bands we have now .
@@rickheasman8547 oh ya tell me about it. I would take snipersling or simpleshot over gold any day but I think if you are a plinker and can get it cheap they are good enough for sure.
@@rickheasman8547 Same, it was all I could get years ago.
For band life alone I'm always going to use gold bands
Gold does last long. For me, it lacks in performance a little but still good bands.
Oh and hunter tagged you in the 10 shots 10 meter no warmup challenge by Parker Lewis
Ya I saw. No way I will do that now. That penatration test with the 9.5mm steel to me 15 shots to hit the damn thing. Once I have my eyes back ill do it.
@@ATOMark yeah I figured it would be atleast a few weeks.
Your the best band review i have seen ever mashalla...
I have question brother what brand band and width we should use to take a bird with body shot i can not always aim to head a wings and size of ammo please answer ..thanks for your videos
I would use 9.5 or 11mm steel with 25-20 or 25-15 depending on the season with .8100% or 75 south wales cattys
@@ATOMark thanku so much..
Great video bro. '' I was going to do a shoot the crankbait lure hanging 😂 no hooks obviously 😂..
Lol that might be fun. I have some built to catch fisherman might be fun to shoot some. Lol some old rusty spoons too. Thats a great idea.
@@ATOMark I actually got loads of clear soft plastic lures and put them. In a microwave and made them in to a balistics block 😂 to see what the ammo does 😂
@@Ryandawson018 lol thats alot of soft plastic lures. Lol
Have you tried other theraband colors? What band material do you suggest as best all around use?
There are 4 bands I love to shoot. Omega slings, snipersling yellow, gongchi white, South wales cattys. All solid brands
I mostly shoot omega slings
@@ATOMark thank you!
Everything you just showed has been my experience with TG. I don't mind the speeds but I never got real good life out if them. Iv heard people say they last forever with them but I just didn't get that result.
I find it strange that they keep getting longer. I always pre stretch my bands before I make them. I cut them to stop at my draw length. These stretched 1.5 inches by the end of the test.
@@ATOMark I don't keep a set anchor and depending on how much power I want a draw further so I couldn't tell if they stretched really and I don't max my bands out very often but for a target draw shooter like you, I could see that being an issue. I hope your surgery went well
The surgery got postponed. So dissappointed! I don't even have a new date yet.
@@ATOMark oh man that sucks...
What's the thickness of the gold
so then, In your opinion, what is the best rubber & taper for 9.5 steel to get the best penetration & speed with out loosing accuracy? (ie: draw weight is so high your hand wobbles)
When I shoot 9.5mm steel I like .80 100% actually .7 is really good too. I tend to use 25-15 for these. But I do have a hunch that 22-12 might be better. I will test this soon. I also have some snipersling to test out in point .7 yellow and black but so far 100% .8 and .7 are really nice bands
@@ATOMark what is "100%"? I've tried Simpleshot, Burning Skull, GZK and Snipersling.
@@rgilroy1909 100% is a brand by Jan Nowak. A great shooter out of the Czech Republic I think. Really nice bands. I have tested .48 .5, .6, .8 and will be doing .7 soon.
You can also get them from purse nets and fox nets on Facebook and Instagram. Both guys sell these bands and they are great.
idea for a vid ..try different tapers curious to see if any difference.
I have done a video like this. I tested 24-12 25-15 24-18 and I think 25-20 with 8mm and 9.5. I clocked the speeds and totally geeked out on the numbers lol and found which tapers were best. For which ammo. I cant for the life of me understand why so many people shoot 25-20. 25-15 was far superior in speed tests in normal weather.
@@ATOMark Been using 20/18 and 20/15 lately.
I wonder if they compare to bands made specifically for slingshots like GZK or Simpleshot bands. I've seen some professionals like Chris (on his youtube channel) talking about their incomparibility to modern bands...one thing to say is that theraband gold have long life and resistance to the hot weather here in north African. Thank you once more for the reviews man
I agree with Chris. Modern bands are much better. Gold does not compare to snipersling, simpleshot or many others. 2 problems I see with them is. They really slow down in cold weather and they continue to stretch. So your active band length gets longer and longer. Theraband are not the worst bands I have tried.
BIG FOOT, I SAW A BIG FOOT WALK ACROSS YOUR YARD!!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for the test. When l started shooting slingshot again l got a 5 yard roll of Theraband Gold. Now with your video l look at it in better light. I did not measure it but l still have over 3 yards of it with me. I use a 25 15 template to make my bands. I don't max them out, about 16.5 cm active draw length. Around 80-85% l guess. I will check out but would be happy if l get around 200 fps from them.
Maxing them out won't be a big problem. They seem to stretch quite a bit. The more I shoot them the longer they get it seems. Lol
Yes, true. I noticed that. I notice they get real soft with time. You can predict they are going to break when they get too soft and stretchy.
Do you hunt w cattys?
I will be this year. Just waiting for the season to open. It is legal in the province beside mine. Only 30 minutes away.
I always taper my bands no wider than my forks
So many brands of bands out there. Impossible to give edge to any one brand. I moved to GZK bands.
You really like them, don't you
Ya they aren't bad at all. Really they aren't the best bands out there but you can definately shoot these bands and do well.
