I tried the hole in tube type attachment, and I have seen the pouch curl. New to shooting, so I am not consistent enough to see
a big accuracy difference yet.

Maybe some if the issue with the hole in tube and the rubber cuff is that the attachment acts like a slipknot and continuously
tries to tighten as the rubber stretches. This would not happen with the string or other tie attachments.

by the way here are two videos I watched from Wingshooter (http://i.viglink.com/?

, but never thought to use it. I also try to use stuff that people can find around the house. The tubes I used were much bigger in
diameter, and even though in time they bunch up ( reasons you stated) they are easier to massage out quickly, before it
becomes an issue.

I have never tried this method with my 1745 or 2040s, actually, I only did this method to try to mimic my barnett tubes..
Otherwise I normally use zip ties (http://i.viglink.com/?

cuffs or string on small tubes.. now that I saw that video again ( long forgot about it) I may give it a try.. Of course, it still may
not be my method.. Since I only try out other options for what I think could interest others in the community.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and how you went about it.

I just made a set of 3060s using this process for my speed shooter. It was really easy and looks super sano. Can't wait to try it
out tomorrow.
Thanks LGD!

Interesting useful information. I find that if the tie is too close to the pouch, or if the hole is too small, there is more chances of
pouch curl.

B.P.R

Im still a little confused?..

If youve only made 1 slit... how do you get both sides of the forceps out?...

Do you have any more 'clearer' pictures?

I had been seeing shooters attaching bands (tubes and flats) to pouches with small pieces of tubing and I

thought it was the cats meow so I spent a few hours, a lot of thought and a little money making a fixture to assemble bands
like this very fast (about 25 sets a hour). It worked like a dream and I made several sets. I mentioned this to Charles
Saunders and sent him a set. He said that they had run test a while back and found that it messed up
accuracy. So I run my own shooting test and was shocked to found out that it messed up my accuracy big
time. Wow and I have sold several sets! Now I am not the most accurate shooter in the world so I thought it just might be
me, so I cut off the tubing and retied with cotton string. My accuracy came back like magic. In conclusion I
have a fixture that I will not use for that (might find another use for it) and that is why I just stopped selling my black field
bands until I have some more testing under my belt. I am in the process of conducting that test right now. I have shot so
much my hands are sore, so be patient I will get there. -- Tex

They are limited on what kind of products that they can sell because of the size of the company and the sue nuts out there. -- Tex

THANK YOU for the heads-up and verification on this, Tex-Shooter. Very interesting to note that those small pieces of
tubing affects accuracy. I've discovered that I prefer string ties as well. 
 
Although... those cuffs look pretty cool.
