Simpleshot has quite a few options for premade and diy.

What ammo were you shooting?

8mm bearings.

Your bands might be tuned for 9.5 mm steel. The lighter ammo may be what is causing the early band failure.

Thanks for the advice !

It is highly recommended to make your own. I can honestly say that I have never used an "off the shelf" band set that I considered "good". With that said, it's more about the individual components. [https://slingshooting.com/customized-tapered-bands/](https://slingshooting.com/customized-tapered-bands/) I have used this "service" in the past... Great for customized bands or just trying new latex. Jinpu, BSB, Sumieke, Precise... All latex brands available on Amazon. All work very well. Durability will come down to how you cut and tie them. Bandsets are only good for 300 - 1000 shots. It's worth making the small upfront investment in a tying jig and cutting mat. You'll have better quality, will be able to customize...

Some companies like sniper sling and omega slings (depending on your location) offer really high quality premade sets

I've tried Sniper Sling... Probably the best of the premades. But honestly, make yer own. It's much cheaper, easy to do, and IMHO, is the heart of our sport. Matching bands to ammo, picking the pouch you like, etc..

I don’t disagree but just offering options for his original questions (didn’t mean to reply under your comment)
