Hi there all. I put this in the newbie question area but it doesn't seem to be generating any replies... which I really need. The wear is getting worse...
I am quite new to slingshots and I'd appreciate some opinions. I have one of these:
and I'm loving it. I've put hundreds (if not thousands) of shots through it and I have noticed that the tube that's on the metal of the fork has started to go black and in a few spots furry. I'm guessing that means the latex is pretty much done?
I would like to play with the length of the tubes and so I'd like to get a length I can cut myself. Would this:
Work? As far as I can tell with a ruler the bands on my slingshot currently are about 9mm outer diameter and about 1.5mm thick. I don't really have the money to buy loads of tubes until I find the right one is why I am asking.
I'm pretty sure theratube blue will work... that's what I have on my barnett blackwidow.. though you have to give em a little more time to dry.. or if they're a little loose just tighten them with wrap and tuck with a rubber band hope this helps
Thanks guys. I'd rather get the surgical tubing for now. It's cheap enough that I can make mistakes and since it'll be my first time replacing tubes I am sure I will.
