Hi guys new to catapult shooting got a wasp enzo starter kit with green bands shooting 8mm steel feel like I’m really having to stretch the bands to max to get decent speed any suggestions on more suitable bands ?

Are they maxing out on your normal draw or do they stretch past your face? They may well need to be cut down to suit your draw length. Bands need to be tuned to the ammo and the shooters draw for best performance, they will be setup for 8mm if that’s what came with it so just need a little adjustment to suit you better

If was at range pulled bands back and a lad who shoots cats really well said Jesus when I stretched it a long way he has a lot shorter pull and as you say I feel I could pull it past my head

Just checked I can probably pull 6 inch past my head before I get what feels like max tension?

Yea I thought that would be the case, they generally come longer than needed so that anyone can use the supplied set.
Do you have clips on it or tying on? If clips it’s very easy to whip them off, mark say 5 or 10mm on each one and cut then try them out and see how they feel, can keep going until your happy with how they feel. I wouldn’t max them out fully as they won’t last as long and it’s not necessary for target shooting. If it’s stretching an extra 6 inches you will probably want to lose around an inch but I would go in small increments at a time as you can’t put it back on!
Just make sure when you do, the cuts are straight and the same amount is coming off each side, a rotary cutter is best but carefully with sharp scissors can work
