dave88 1,565 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Its all about what works best for you...i prefer shooting flat bands with 10mm lead but I know there's lads on here that prefer shooting tubes with heavier ammo like 12mm lead. Took me ages to find a setup I was comfortable with. Trial and error Edit. If I were you I'd buy a few types of elastic, few types of ammo and one of the catties listed above and just figure out what works for you Edited January 23, 2018 by dave88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I will start off with the wasp and see how I go from there. Thanks for the info and tips dave88. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Dave88 Did you ever see the one on Amazon for sale. Wonder are they any good. Stainless steel ones. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave88 1,565 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) A lot of those on Amazon and eBay are Chinese zinc alloy crap...I've read some horror stories about forks snapping under the force of the bands and hitting the shooter in the face. Personally I wouldnt buy one but obviously its up to you mate Edited January 23, 2018 by dave88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
