BARNETTtubular elastic natural rubber - Power Band

Absolutely spot on. Fits the original Black Widow perfectly. Comes complete with two new black plastic tips. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐥 (𝐈𝐒𝐏) 𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. You will not get this band on without it. Do not use soap. The band will come off again!Order of assembly:1. If fitted, replace the black tips.2. You then dip, one end at a time, of the elastic into the ISP and wet the black tips with ISP.3. The elastic will now just effortlessly slide straight on.

Found my old Barnett Diablo in the loft after about 20-30 years & the rubber elastics had perished & snapped when I tried to use them! Good old amazon, they had replacements!Little tricky to slide on over original rubber bungs, but with a little water on bungs and a bit of patience and twisting they went on.Super strong, I can fully stretch them back for a shot and they are fine, really powerful!I’d recommend a bag of the clay shots being sold on here, kids loved the target range we made with cans, pots & bottles!Brought back memories!

I have had a few of these bands over the years and one thing that has become very clear is surprisingly for Barnett their quality control is really letting them down, the problem is that you never know what your going to get as far as the leather pouch is concerned, I have had them where the leather is so soft and weak (probably the edge of the hide) that after just a handful of pulls they have torn at the fastening point, now for me it wasn't too bad because I had an old pair of Rigger boots that I have cut up and made into pouches for my catapults, but if your relying on the one you get from Barnett then you may be disappointed, these two that I just got were absolutely perfect hence the 5 stars because when they get it right these are a great product for the price,yes you can get better at 3x the price but for what I do these orange bands are just right. I have in the past and will in the future continue to recommend these bands but I always make people aware about the pouch, so come on Barnett get your act together there's no reason ALL your pouches can't be as good as the two I have just bought. I hope this review is helpful to you, all the best Boshy...

These bands have a noticeably heavier draw compared to the tan-coloured Barnett bands. Not to the point of being unusable but requiring more upper body strength to draw fully.Being heavy bands they are best suited to heavy ammo like 12.5mm lead or 14mm steel. They are no advantages using heavy bands for light/medium ammo like 8mm or 9.5mm steel and some possible disadvantages too - because it is harder to be accurate with heavy bands.This said, if you really want to obliterate stuff, these bands plus 12.5mm lead will do that!Have a bottle of IPA available for easier fitting to Barnett frames.

Very powerful bands, yet easy to pull back and draw...tubular slungshot bands tend to have a longer life then their flat and counterparts and this product certainly did...When it tears it tends to always tear at the frame side right at the point it makes contact with frame, after it tears or I find a hole I simply remove the band, cut it shorter so the tear has been taken off and reattach, I may lose perhaps a couple inches in draw length but it’s good to go for another few hundred shots..,rinse and repeat tills it gets to small to fire 🤗

Received very fast and Well packaged.The band is made of strong durable rubber which has been tested a number of times with different weighted bearings and fires well.This replaced the broken rubber from the black widow slingshot that broke several times under similar weights, I have to say it is extremely good quality and exceptional value for the price.Highly recommended.

I had real trouble getting this to fit my catapult. In the end I used a lubricant and even then one side just refused to go on although after lots of cursing I did sort it. That said, this is a good solid replacement for my catapult - perhaps harder to pull than the original one, but I'm sure I'll get used to that.

The advert shows two items and the description is in plural, at no time does it state or ask the purchaser to choose between them. They only deliver the lower power band and even then the accompanying picture shows two items. Don't be fooled - move on false advertising and I will be reporting them to Amazon as such!
