Method 1 of 1: Shoot Farther
This part shows how to shoot a rubber band with your bare hands at a distance of more than six meters, without additional effort.
Step 1. Hook the elastic around the tip of your left or right thumb
It is more helpful for you to hook it around the top of your thumb, as high as you can. Otherwise, you could risk shooting in reverse.
Step 2. Grab the other end of the elastic with your index finger, creating twice as much tension on the left side as on the right, or vice versa
Step 3. Release the elastic with your index finger
Advice
- Try to find an elastic that is neither too thin nor too big.
- The further back you pull the rubber band, the farther it will shoot.
Warnings
- If the rubber band slips off your index finger, it will come back and hit you.
- Never aim directly at people or animals.
