Our hand-cut Wasp Candy 0.60mm flat bands are precision-tuned specifically for target shooters running 8mm steel ammo. Cut on our popular 18-12 taper template, this setup is engineered for ultimate balance, delivering a highly responsive release, flat trajectories, and a remarkably smooth draw cycle.
Each pack includes 4 fresh, hand-cut band sets featuring our signature Parallel-Ends build. By running the ends perfectly parallel, we eliminate uneven stress concentrations at the forks and pouch, significantly increasing your band life and guaranteeing a highly predictable, repeatable release.
Our Recommended Setup Specifications:
Primary Application: Precision Target Shooting / All-Day Plinking
Best Ammo Match: 8mm Steel Projectiles (Also excellent for 7mm to 7.5mm steel)
Signature Build: Parallel-Ends Style (Extended Band Life)
Target Draw Length: Optimized for standard 70cm to 80cm draws (ideal for 72cm setups)
Standard Pack Quantity: 4 Band Sets per order *
*Pack Variation Notice: We gladly accommodate custom hand-cut tapers upon request. If you need a specific custom taper template, please leave a note in the text box at checkout to let us know. However, please note that if you request a heavy custom taper wider than a 20-15 template, your order will be supplied as a 3-pack instead of a 4-pack due to the increased volume of raw latex required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Wasp Candy latex different from AK Velocity? While AK Velocity is tuned for aggressive, raw speed, Wasp Candy is all about balance, smoothness, and consistency. It provides a highly predictable, forgiving shot cycle with an incredibly clean release, making it the absolute gold standard for competitive target shooters who want to drill bulls-eyes all day without fatiguing their shoulders.
Why is the 0.60mm thickness with an 18-12 taper optimized for 8mm steel? Matching your rubber mass to your projectile weight is the key to maximizing velocity while eliminating hand-slap. An 18-12 taper in a premium 0.60mm gauge provides the exact amount of contraction energy needed to drive an 8mm steel ball efficiently. It gives you maximum snapping velocity without unnecessary drawing resistance.
What draw length and frames are these bands cut for? These sets are cut to accommodate standard draw lengths, optimized right around 72cm draws at a high-performance active ratio. Every pack includes extra wrap-and-tuck band-tying material, making them 100% ready for wrap-and-tuck frames and clipped frames right out of the box.
