Default OK Rage rubber band guys....what size

I've finally found a source for the rubber bands (Ebay). Someone was going to send me some.....but I haven't seen anything....and I'm wanting to use them, now.

What size (if you use them) do you use? There are several sizes available.

Thanks.

I found several sizes on Ebay....but I'm just unsure of which ones to order.

It's not what you're thinking, though.....

What I've noticed is.....on my octane quiver....the blades stick out below the protective cover on the quiver. Twice, so far this year, I've taken my quiver off to hold my bow (REALLY thick....and I though a quick shot op. might happen). When I hold the bow.....I take the quiver off and hang it on my bow hook. When I do this.....the blades rub the bow hook....and I'm afraid it'll "jar" them loose. the rubber bands would only be "insurance" to keep this from occurring.

But I still don't know what size to get. I'd GLADLY buy some from someone who had a lot of extras.

Thanks.

Jeff, I got some on ebay from this place. I went with the 1/8 ones. They are small but they do fit. I think 100 were $2.99 shipped.

Number five O-Rings from the Depot or Lowes. They work great.

Planter....I'm headed to Lowe's in a few minutes. Just so we're clear....I'm not looking for replacement o-rings. I want the band to hold the blades in place. Is this what you're talking about?
