Guest Bowhunter2114 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Where do you get the rubber bands for your mechanicals? I would imagine those rubber bands that people put in their mouth would work But i don't know where to get them, I already checked CVS. By the way I just got the Rocky Mountain Snyper XP3's And they are AWESOME. I am glad I gave Mechanicals a try. I could even see the blade marks in the target So I know they Open. Only problem is everytime I shoot in the targety it pulls the rubber band off...Of course once I make sure they are all going to fly good I will just shoot my field tips. Anyway; any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: Rubber Bands If the hair bands don't work try a local office goods store like Office depot or Staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: Rubber Bands I did a quick search, and could not find any. In the future if you want to shoot them you could use dental floss to tie them tight just to see where they are hitting. The blades will not open, but at least you wont be wasting your bands.

Switchback29A1 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: Rubber Bands You can also tie fishing line, we use spider wire but i'm sure any will work and just wrap it a few times and knot it when ur done wrapping it and they don't open.
