Gamekeeper John was kind enough to give me some flatband strips and leather to use on Bill hay's striker s/shot unfortunately I cannot get it to work for me I have posted a video giving as much information as I possibly can.

it looks like your doing everythink right hawk! but if you want my honest opinion i would say stick to tubes, you certainly shoot a lot better with them, john,
I still have some left so will give it another go, I have shot theraband gold in the past and never had trouble before only with premature snaps thats why I stopped using it,
I'm just confused as to why it's not working for me a pride thing I think I don't like failing.

The bands are even so it's not that i'm going to change the pouch I have fitted it with my jacket leather pouch, it is quite light so I am going to put the pouch on that I kept from tex's set up it's heavier and thicker if that fails i'm going to fit it to one of my own s/shots I have a feeling the pouch is the problem but will have to wait until tomorrow if it does not rain not the best of weather here.

Thanks for your comments everyone, it's certainly not the s/shot as I had no problems with tex bands it was deadly accurate, and theraband gold also has excellent results many forum members use it, Ive gathered valuable information from you all so we will see what happens tomorrow inbetween practice shooting in Bill hays predator comp trying to fine tuning my accuracy.
