fred90 3,096 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 is there any difference in the colour of GZK bands? Black, green, yellow etc. the yellow seem to last me longer or is it just coincidence? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think the black is anti cold but don’t know about the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard something on a vid that they are different......and unfortunately I can’t guarantee it but I’m sure someone said, and I’m not sure if they knew there stuff or not......but...........wait for it...........yellow green black.........from left to right equals a tougher draw. Im not sure if it’s speed related or not. Im not keen on gzk.....I’ve had a few now that got holes in the middle of the bands. Prefer sheshou or precise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check this seller out....he had some earlier .....sheshou...that is https://www.cattyshack.co.uk/product-category/flat-bands/rolls-of-band/page/2/ Ive been trying sheshou .75 with 18mm -13mm active 15 and 8mm , works for me but everyone’s different. I did find it was going prematurely at the pouch when I divided my draw length by five so normally my active is 15 so I just add a centimetre and it’s lasting well. The only thing I don’t like about sheshou and it’s stupid, but it gets on my nerves.......is the bands some how shimmer with sunlight.....and it catches your eye.......not when you shoot...that’s fine. The new SimpleShot black bands that came on my scout lt seemed different to gzk black. The SimpleShot seemed like it was tough band......wasn’t the right band for me at the time so I only used it for a few shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't cost you much to do yourself.....you’ll save a fortune.....plus once you made a couple it’s straight forward.....loads of vids or advice on here if you need any advice.....honestly it’s worth it. Get a band template of the taper you want for a tenner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was curious as I knew I had a few spare bands in green gzk .66, 25/20 taper, but I’ve just checked and the full length of the band from the pouch to the end of elastic is 16cm. I am happy to post them on to you if you can make use of them.......if there too short I’m sure somebody else on here could make use of them, but you have first refusal. I was using these for 9.5mm. I’ve recently been shooting 8mm hence these sitting doing nothing. Just let me know if you want them.....then message me your address. Ah......just realised your shooting ttf and these are over the top.......anyway....it’s up to you.....I was shooting ttf for quite some time and recently switched back to ott.
