[TowerTalk] Broken slingshot - need quality replacement to get antennas up in the trees

[Patrick Greenlee]

If anyone gets good bands or uses surgical tubing be advised that when 
not in use you can store them in the freezer and they will last for a 
very very long time. (Let warm up before stretching.)

Apparently these crappy replacement bands for Marksman are all made in China now.  No wonder the price went down.  I had used my Marksman slingshot with American made replacement bands for the past 20+ years before this and was able to get the 2 oz fishing sinker above branches at close to 100’ above ground – this is my goal.  But now it is impossible – the replacement bands are USELESS!
