What is the fastest initial speed for a flat leather band?

1mm thick leather bands have the fastest initial velocity.

The initial speed of a slingshot and the final force of the blow are critical. From a striking power standpoint, we all know that flat leather bands have a much faster initial velocity than traditional bows. Some bowhunters on the internet have measured it with a speedometer and reached an initial speed of 128 meters per second. Conventional slingshots only reach 70 or 80, with the highest being 80 or 90.

Initial speed is the initial speed at which the leather strap drags the steel ball. Does the faster the initial speed, the stronger the attack? The answer is no. This is a misunderstanding of many people, the correct statement is that the faster the ultimate speed (final speed), the greater the ability to strike. Initial speed is not proportional to final speed, but initial speed that is very fast does increase final speed.

Flat leather bands can have a very high initial speed, so it has a strong attack. On the other hand, many people are enamored with thick leather bands, large beads, and are looking for power in their strikes. If 2050, 3060 leather bands are not strong enough, they wear 10, 11, 12 beads with 4070 leather bands.

But in this case, the moment one hits it feels great, it feels loud and crunchy, but that's really nothing more than the sound of the beads rubbing in the wind. The advantages of this close range are obvious, and the long range weight may be there too, but the penetration is small. And 8 cm steel beads of flat leather band can fly more than 100 initial speed, penetration, tearing force is quite powerful.
