I’m an old timer at 75 getting back into the “new era”that being frames beyond wrist rockets.Than you for this very helpful anf well done from the heart video.
Just scrolling and found this video. Great shooting bro and excellent message at the end. The slingshot community is awesome. Lots of great people involved in the sport!
Thanks for the video. I've been looking at several slingshot tip videos, and this one was one of the only ones that has actually provided good tips. I look forward to looking thru your other videos
Your presentation was the purest representation of clarity & honesty I've ever been witness to please keep doing what your doing its humbled & inspired me truly
Great video. Just bought a Barnett Black Widow, more for nostalgia than anything else as used to shoot one about 40 years ago. Was a lousy shot then so looking to gain some tips for better accuracy and control.
Question? In tournaments what are the closest and furthest yards for the targets? Meaning if someone is at home and would like to practice for tournaments .
For most outdoor “woods walks” it’s like a 3D archery shoot. You walk a path and stop at shooting stakes and shoot at steel targets in the woods. Most average 20 to 60 feet with a few “gong” targets that are larger and farther away. Like maybe a large skillet at 80 feet. Most formal competitions are at 11 meters. Practicing at 30 feet would have you comfortable at most shoots.
Thank you,Scott for a great video! I'm new to using a slingshot so I appreciate the tips. Looks like you were shooting 8-10 yards out? Also, did you make your ammo catcher? If so, what is behind the paper to stop the ammo? Thanks
The ammo catcher is a plastic barrel. I drilled two holes across from each other just below the rim big enough to stick a length of 1/2 inch pcv through. I strung a bunch of old T-Shirts up by running the pcv pipe through the sleves and bunching them close together. Works great.
When i was a kid 50 years ago..i used wire coat hanges and rubber bands...i was deadly with those..my best braging shot ever..was a blue jay in flight...busted it...approximately 10 other boys saw me do it...i pretend it wasnt a big deal...however it was pure luck😂😂😂
Thanks for asking. Your fork tips need to be perpendicular (at a 90 degree angle) to the sight plane to the target. You fork tips do, however, maintain the same relationship to your body as shown in this video. You should bend at the waist to shoot up hill or down hill to maintain the same alignment of your head, arms, and shoulders for extreme accuracy.
Pouch dimensions that (usually) MATCH UP to projectile diameters ? PLEASE ! Just saying the obvious 'whatever works for you' serves no purpose at all to a novice like myself, looking to make an informed 'startup' selection, does it ?
I was referring to pouch style and material, not pouch size as it relates to ammo size. Any manufacture that sells pouches on line gives recommendations as to what ammo size their different pouches are best suited for. A pouch from Catty Shack Hunter designed to handle 3/8" ammo is going to be a different dimension than a pouch from Simpleshot designed to handle 3/8" ammo. I highly recommend checking out both these companies on line. They have a wealth of information on their web sites concerning this topic. Simpleshot in particular has a very educational CZcams channel covering all things slingshot.

Hi scout xt I love it uk
Maybe I can come shoot in 2024 thanks for the tips
Thanks for the tips! Does that sling shot have enough power to kill a grouse with a body shot?
Yes sir.
Waaw. Thanks
where is the video of that shoot out?
When i was a kid 50 years ago..i used wire coat hanges and rubber bands...i was deadly with those..my best braging shot ever..was a blue jay in flight...busted it...approximately 10 other boys saw me do it...i pretend it wasnt a big deal...however it was pure luck😂😂😂
god bless!!!!!
almost shooting a bow Scott
Same alignment and back tension makes for accurate shooting with both.
We're to by good sling shots
Man. ❤
Frame perpendicular to the ground even when the target is below eye level?

Bend at the waist? Why not just bend your elbow,,keeping your bands strait and in line?
@@buskingkarma2503 tilting your elbow will only adjust your release hand usually makes you bump on release causing fork hits
Did he say "whack outdoors"?

Paper is not necessary only! If you can't see where your ammo is going. Which, you should it's not traveling that fast.
Then maybe you should. Lol
Paper shows you exactly where your shot goes.
8mm steel ball moving at 260fps is hard to see
