So, fish is up for it but are the dankun contingent?!?!?!?

i promise a genuine comparison. Dont have a chrono so i'll leave the scientific stuff to joerg but will do accuracy comparison (just as important i think) and see what each can produce while mouching about?!?!?

i would also be interested in trying the hunter bands on a modified dankun frame, im sure theres something about the free moving bands that helps my accuracy?

one of my finding of the performance is that the elastic's performance decreases significantly if you aim too long with the full draw.

So I pull draw the 14 cm to 82 cm and release it almost without stop. Intuitive shot,not very accurately but I enjoy it.

Releasing the pouch at the same time of pushing the slingshot forward also increases the velocity dramatically( release when the elastic is at the peak and still be stretching ). But that's sort of dangerous.

Yes, rubber tires out if you keep it drawn out. That is the reason why slingshot rifles make little sense.

But a few seconds should not make a big difference.

The "flipstyle" technique works, but my tests show no big power increase. The biggest plus of that style is that you can use real low forks (even no fork at all, see this video of mine:

couldn't agree with any more.
Slingshot gun or rifle makes little sense.

I've found a very practical use of The "flipstyle" technique, when used actively,it makes the ammo fly much more straight ,which make big difference to long-distance aiming and shooting. The ammo can fly directly to the rabbit or other object 55 yards away when you use the 'flipstyle 'actively . Otherwise the ammo would drop towards the ground obviously rather than to the object.

That makes the 'flipstyle' very useful for hunting.

One thing on the tube and theraband comparison that no one has brought up and is verry important for my choice of band material is smoothness.

I find that tapered theraband shoots much more smoothly than any tube band (for me anyway) and that translates into accuracy..and accuracy is more important than raw speed for me even if Im hunting.

just my two bits

Will you test it against the Fish hunter? How can you compare dankungs (see how I got around that power crap) to Fish's hunter ? Just the way they are sent to the customer I guess? Can't wait to see another new video!

i was planning to compare them by having a little target shooting session with each and then decide which i prefer. Nothing scientific, just my unbiased opinion!

Dosent look like its going to happen now anyway!

i dont know what video your talking about, i havent even got my head around posting pics on here yet?
