B.P.R 2,798 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Quite unique band attachment there mate .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Quite unique band attachment there mate .... Looked through loads of tube attachment methods but simply attaching them wouldnt work due to how the forks are angled, leather tabs look shite, and i didnt want to mess it up drilling holes so the paracord seemed the best way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Rather than wrap the elastic round the cord... try the inner strands from the cord to tie it...might be a little more secure than the elastic... .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the tip, im sure i read if the string isnt waxed it will cut the elastic? Edited September 30, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kranky 507 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 That's quality! Good work, I made a couple for J1985 and his brother in law which are really similar. Have your bands not arrived yet? I posted them before I posted the fork. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I am not trying to sell any other type of elastic lol It's the power of the internet Micckey. The bloke that started promoting this stuff and called it Dub Dub had only just started shooting catties himself. He started his own forum and set himself up as some sort of expert, along with another bloke and people believed him. You only have to shoot Dub Dub for 5 minutes to see it's failings, like its inability to retain any power if held at full draw for more than a split second and its rapid wear rate. However, the blokes promoting it didn't have a clue and so didn't realise that it was crap compared to what else was out there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
