Default Rubber bands for expandable broadheads

I shoot rocket and shockwave expandable broadheads and wanted to know if anyone knows where i can get rubber bands for expandable broadheads? I can only target practice so much with them because i don't have any more rubber bands and want to purchase some. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Yep, got the perfect solution for you... because I shot those same heads for years.

Go to your local orthodontist's office and ask for a couple bags of those rubber bands they put on braces; mine gave me a couple hundred of them just for asking. They work perfectly.

Your local hardware store should sell O rings that work great for that

Not having seen what you're referring to with the O-rings, I wouldn't know... I would just advise caution on putting a thick O-ring on a Rocket. They're made to be deployed with those little yellow rubber bands.

Again, the orthodontist's rubber bands are perfect. I got mine free, and with a couple hundred in a bag, I never had to go get more.

The ever so stealthy Greg hit the perverbial nail on the head. That's the perfect solution, and they are quite inexpensive.

Show yerself, I tell ya!! LOL
