Amber Bags
Its a given that if your using latex flat bands on your slingshot, sooner than later they'll wear out.
I keep several extra different size bands already made up for replacing the busted or wore out bands on my slingshot, or possibly different size bands for shooting different sized ammo.
Now maybe your not aware, but if you have any type of latex and in this case slingshot bands, if they are not stored properly, they'll not take kindly to being stored where the sun can get at them.
To keep this from happening, I use UV resistant and airtight amber bags as seen in the photo to protect my extra bands from UV and Ozone, the two major contaminants of latex.
You may recognize these amber bags, as sensitive electronic components upon being purchased may also be packaged in them.
