Awesome Jegwan. Your 85cm gun shoots 5meters! Incredible. What band percentage are you using with the 16mm bands? And do you get low trajectory?

I think they a about 320% now at maximum - it shoots both acurate and with enough power for my needs here in Denmark. I normally use it on 2/3 of full power. The 17,5mm anaconda X bands was to much.

Thanks. What distance are you getting accurately with the 16mm bands and 320% stretch?

I'm not sure, as I have not pool tested the new setup. I feel confident shooting at targets at a distance of 3-4 meters. I shot mullets at that distance this season :)

Hmmm OK. Im expecting at least 4m accurate shots on my 87cm rollergun, anything less is a failure.

Im worried about low trajectory as this is what ruined my shots on my previous rollergun, hopefully the extra weight helps this out

It does and I'm sure you will succeed. It's always a compromise between power and accuracy (on all types of guns) with regards to what, where and how you hunt.

Jegwan, this gun is amazing. Would love to see it in action… any chances you can upload the drawings too? I'm curious. and: how does double wishbones ease loading?
 
What did you use at the bottom of the gun? (Where you attach the bands)

Many thanks :)

I made the double wishbone with two different lengths so it is easier to grab the wishbone with gloves on. It´s as simple as that.

Here's a fast drawing of the gun and rollers:

Any questions are welcome..

That is awesome. Thanks.

Will start looking into a new build soon. Trying to get some ideas in. Not sure if itll be an invert or double roller yet!
