What sort of elastic do you boys recomend for out and out power ?Personally i use the red tube type but i find that it usually snaps right where it goes onto the frame after a few weeks of firing .Does anyone recomend any that might be better ? |

Never used it (don't know where to get it) but that flat band looks pretty good and also the 6mm square is good. :P |

the elastic you was using bud is great when using the right ammo 44 lead balls but if you wont power order your self some flatbands very powerful but the only problem is they make a slap sound when you release but dont get me wrong they are bloody powerful ive taken rabbits,pigeons,squirrels,rats with my cattys and all of them have got flatbands on only got my strike nine with sergical elastic on but flatbands hands down for power all the best sh heres some home made natural cattys with flatbands on all the best sh

Surgical Band arrived today! A bit to thin quite stretchy but to thin to be of any great power ,be ok if you were wanting to make your own condoms but never mind ill have to look elsewhere for the elusive super power band |
