Care and Maintenance

• Always examine the band and pouch before use for small nicks, tears, or punctures that may cause the band to break.  If you find any flaws, immediately discard the product and replace before use.
• Before use, check that screws are tight and band is secure and evenly distributed between the frame and side plate
• Store all bands out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures.  This is important to maximize the life of the band, especially in storage.
• Never use rocks or other sharp objects as ammunition.  Rocks and sharp objects will damage the band and pouch.
• After contact with chlorinated water, rinse the bands with tap water and dry flat.
• If the bands becomes sticky, clean with mild soap and water, dry flat, and then dust with talcum powder.

Note:  Please keep in mind that the slingshot bands are made from a natural material. This means that we have no way of predicting the life of the band. Even the best maintained bands can fail inexplicably or have a short life time. Despite our best efforts, using high quality industry standard materials and testing; approximately 1% of the bands fail early. As a result we strongly encourage you to purchase extra bands. We do not provide a warranty of any kind on bands.
