I Use 7/16" for Practice target shooting. 0.75mm orange-yellow PRECISE band just propel that balls very well. No lack of power and range here in cold Winter.
I assume this promotion is to find out which slingshots are in demand. Dankung please make some flatband Through The Fork (TTF) slingshots, this method of attaching the bands supposedly is most accurate for shooting, I cant wait when there will be non plastic or aluminum metal TTF slingshot on a market
I just put a looped tubes on Orangutan and give it a try again and it worse that how I remembered it. Wide fork and long ears make it awkward to hold in any grip style I try, as for Hammer grip it have long fork which acts as a lever and put a lot of stress on your wrist. If you trying to solve tube rolling problem and you going to order a custom made one make sure to ask Dankung to make a traditional round tips bended 20-30 degrees toward a shooter instead of long ovals so you have place for your fingers. Or just modify a Palm Predator as I did by cold bending tips 25 degrees in a vise
I use 1632 (looped) to 6mm steel, soft airgun pellets and up to 8mm steel.
I find this band hold more than 3000 shots.
I have only have one band that snappt, and that was after about 5000 shots.
If I have a little bigger pouch, 10mm steel will be fine up to 15m.

It depends on a way you hold it, if you use a "choker" grip it sits nice in a hand but for "pinch" grip / "finger-hook" / "thumb-braced" very long and wide ears get in a way and there is no comfortable space left for your fingers. With some additional padding it OK for hammer grip too. Over all its not my favorite but it is precise and gentle on tubes
I see you got a DK's Orangutan how dose it feel and how dose it shot? I may even try asking DK to custom made me one with 9mm 440C stainless steel rod..
Very Nice and a Very Different way of making a bands, 6mm BB with this kind of speed would still give a human one hell of a Sting coz i've been shot by BB rifle be4 and i did not like that at all..lolz
plug converters to flat-bands are great for Dankung slingshots they let you use your favorite Dankung with bands and makes band changing as quick as tubes but to make your shoots as repeatable as possible try making area where bands attach to fork as thin as possible by folding flat-band into a tube shape
I have many slingshots but my favorite is a Palm Predator since I dedicated it to be my beater that is always with me, some other slingshots outperform Palm Predator but I afraid to scratch my precious :D
Wow..Really? i never know 1632 can handle 10mm steel ball up to 15m, you are not talking about hunting with it right? Coz i feel 1632 may be a bit weak for 10mm steel ball..
