I had a bit of difficulty loading my gun when I first got it, it's a 1300 Caranx. I made a small loading pad based on the recommendations of Mr. X. The pad really helped at first. I just followed the method outlined on the Rob Allen website.
You have to stretch the band a bit before you will be able to place the grip into your upper stomach area, then pulling the band the rest of the way is no problem.
After getting the technique down, I no longer need the loading pad. I've toughened up a bit I quess.
I've been getting plenty of loading practice by missing fish It's part of the program I've developed in order to become proficient at pulling bands.
have fun with your new guns.
I'm curious if over time you'll end up developing a preference for either the double or single band gun. Keep us posted.
Take care,
Mitch
