Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Comes in a roll, 1 mtr long by 26cm wide and you cut it yourself. I tried my tbg taper of 22mm to 17mm but it didn't feel right so I cut it at 22mm straight and I'm as accurate as ever. What taper do you shoot tbg Greyman ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I,ve moved away from tapering my bands a bit as it seems to shorten the life, I use 15mm straight cuts for shooting tins in the garden 25mm covers target and small game and I have a couple with 32mmstraights that are for purely hunting also use 12mm lead in the bigger bands and 10mm steel in the smaller ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I was using simpleshot black latex but it was terrible on a cold morning but got better as the temperature got up. I'm hoping this stuff will be better. If you want to try some of this stuff just pm me a address and I'll send you some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barrywhite 282 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 the thing to do would be make a sets of bands using gzk and theraband and shoot them over a chrono . Test the draw weight against speed the lowest draw weight with the highest speed is the winner . Also see what rubber last the longest . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 381 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Had 1mm gzk 30/25 taper on my ppmg for a while now, lasts well and hits hard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goshawking719 487 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Gzk seems to last a lot longer than tbg in my opinion. Much faster but a harder draw. I wouldent go back to tbg after using this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I haven't shot with tbg for a long time, I moved over to black latex from simpleshot and was quite happy with it until the temperatures dropped and with my normal anchor point I was shooting 4" too low, so I thought I'd give gzk a go . It is much stronger than tbg and lasts longer but ain't a patch on the black latex , it looks like I'll have to adjust my anchor point to use the black stuff and change to gzk when the bad weather hits us.

Devon Minnow 152 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Had 1mm gzk 30/25 taper on my ppmg for a while now, lasts well and hits hard I've just got one of these bandset and try it this weekend. Way to heavy draw but doesn't half throw a 12.5mm lead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
