The whole community always wondered why and how tapered bands are faster and more powerful. Lots of theories and guesses, but no data.
This changed when Destin came to Germany, with his great professional grade super high speed cam in tow!
Finally, at last, reliable data.

Anyway, this video demystifies tapered bands. The hi speed video allows accurate acceleration graphs, and side by side comparisons.
Dan, aka ZDP189, has much more calculations on his blog
( ), I recommend reading it!
For those of you who want to make your own slingshot, I have written and published a pdf manual, plus a band size calculator. Here:
Good luck!
