Single Card (Fixed) Slingshot and Top Card
How to Easily and Perfectly Install Rubber Bands on (Fixed) Slingshots
Important Installation Details:
1. The single card slingshot is divided into a "large hole" and a "small hole." The small hole faces you, and the large hole faces the target.
2. Roll one end of the rubber band into a small cylinder, pass it through the small hole, pull it out from the large hole, and straighten the rubber. Do the same for the other end, leaving about 1 cm at each end.
3. For top card slingshots, push the rubber band down through the hole at the top end and pull it out from the other side. The length of the rubber band should be aligned with the edge of the hole.
3. Insert the beads into the end of the rubber band and push them to the very front. Make sure the rubber bands on both the left and right sides are the same length.
4. Lightly pull the rubber band to adjust its tension, ensuring it's neither too tight nor too loose. Make sure the rubber band is not loose at the fixed point and that the beads are securely fixed.

Inspection and Testing:
1. After installation, check that the rubber bands are securely fixed and that the left and right lengths match.
2. Conduct a test shot and observe the projectile's trajectory and range. Adjust the rubber bands as needed. If the shooting effect is poor, the rubber band is likely too tight. If the shooting distance is insufficient, the rubber band is likely too loose.
Important Notes
1. Adjust the position of the rubber band opening to maintain symmetry and prevent deviation during firing.
2. Replace rubber bands regularly and avoid excessive stretching or prolonged exposure to sunlight.
3. Do not choose poor quality slingshots or rubber bands. To prevent accidents, it is recommended to use high-quality latex rubber bands.The latex for these rubber bands is made in Germany. If the slingshot is made of metal, using a poor-quality slingshot can cause the fork to break. At least choose a high-quality aluminum alloy. Of course, stainless steel is lighter and sturdier. Titanium alloy is the best.
