Dual bands on 90cm gun

[Joao Pedro]

I never saw a 90cm gun with two bands, how they perform? Anyone ever had experience with that?

The reason I ask it's because I don't know how a "short" barrel will behave with the power of two bands (16mm).

Any thoughts? Thanks, have a great week!

It depends if the gun was designed to use twin bands.
Adding an extra band to a standard thin barrel gun will very often overpower it & you might well loose accuracy, increase recoils and generally upset the performance!
If you own a more bulky or heavy mass gun like a wooden mid handle then twin bands will be far more manageable.
You could try it out for yourself and see how the gun behaves, perhaps consider twin 14mm bands as well.

look here:

95 cm gun with double 14 mil bands

and here, same guy, same gun, but different bands:

95 cm gun with double 18 mil bands

I have used the same 95 cm gun with twin 18 mil bands, but (for me) there was too much recoil and couldn't hit anything. Besides, after a day fishing I felt pain on the inside of my palm, due to recoil.
Still, Alessandro (the guy from the videos) is doing pretty good!

Thanks guys. Nice shots on the first video btw.

I had twin 16mm bands on my old Beuchat 95 gun at 320%-330%. Worked like a charm.
