• How to Aim a Slingshot - Jak na to + styl
I think it's great what you guys are doing for the sport. I'm a huge fan of slingin it! I'm from Wisconsin U.S.A. so the accents are a little hard to pick up on at times but I understand 99%. You actually back up what you are saying as true by giving life experiences and logical wisdom. Focusing on quality vs quantity is important, just like in martial arts. Taking frequent breaks is important. Never in a natural environment are you physically required to do countless repetitions of the exact same movement and their for should be avoided. That's one way of looking at it. One day on a camping trip, i was shooting at a half burried can from 30ft away, using clay shot. I was hitting it good at first, then missed like 20 times in a row. I finally hit it and it bounced a couple feet back. I just keept shooting at it as it layed and hit it like 3 times in a row even after it keeps moving farther away. I ended up shooting it until it landed approximately 60ft away. I was hitting far more frequently with the target moving spots. It just goes to show that everything in nature changes and we should allow ourselves to change and adapt by taking frequent breaks. We should always look to the workings of nature to better ourselves. I bought the orange companion from you awhile back and love it! Just ordered one of your new aluminum designs and really looking forward to shooting it. I'm kinda starting my own shooting community thanks to you guys. I am proud of you guys!
Five mins after watching this adjusted my release slightly and I’m hitting much more consistently thanks boys
I watch all these boys so please keep them coming your input is appreciated lads helps alot of baginers out aswell
Enjoyed the chat. I'm new to the sport so hearing your stories helps. So many variables to consider. Just trying to keep it fresh and enjoyable.
This series is awesome, I learn *so* much from you guys chatting. Have you considered running a catapult training camp? Literally a camp....paid of course...we bring camp gear, you supply some permission land and we have a great time and learn lots. I'd be there in a flash....pretty sure there'd be more than enough demand. Plan something now for the summer...
I shoot 23/13 taper 8mm steel and with the Electric White I promise you it’s the power we have needed!!! Even in zero degrees its performance is second to none!!!!
Good to see you back lads, happy new year !. Always look forward to your stuff. I've been shooting for three years now, retired now and shooting takes up virtually all my time, exclusively target so light bands - Precise .45 Gen 3 at 22x18 with 5.85 inches slack 30 inch draw for around 80% extension. Reckon I've got all technique down pat with good consistent accuracy at distances varying from 11, 13, 15 and occasionally 18 metres. Consistently hit 48mm disc (yesterday bottom of slim coke tin !) at first three distances.
Good release is like other things, essential to accuracy. As an aid to shooting I have the 'five C's' which I concentrate on the way to, and during a shot - Clear head, Calmness , Confidence, Concentration and Consistency. Love it. Keep vids coming lads, all best.

Pit pouch is also great aid to accuracy, positively and accurately centralising ball every time,
Cheers,
AL.
Been waiting for another episode!!
fork width... i think its as important as the release once you find your fork width you improve so much... i have also found that with steel a 90mm fork throws me high so for steel i now use a M95 n the S90 for lead.. n im still dead on... at 30 yd..
Always happens to me on the last one ill miss.... its a pain.... good channel Catapult Carnage
Great talk as always boys!!
Could you cover the topic of tournaments, how new shooters can get competitive. Joining clubs, teams etc. How you and other Olympic competitors get selected for your country.
Great discussion. I switched to the snipersling .06 green from precise brand, it's a big difference, and the results are so much better. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Sounds like you have a compound bow vs catapult shoot off brewing.
Chris , do you ever shoot clay ammo or only steel and lead shot?
happy new year guys !!!!
thank you very much for your help , i will be more attentive about my fork hand stability , when i was shooting my compound bow i was conscious that this detail is crucial but with slingshot shooting it's so easy to forget it ......
thanks again !!!!
Does the pouch make a difference which do you two use?
I'd be interested to know if that 8" miss is always above the target because that shit happens to me sometimes & I'm putting it down to fatigue, it seems after about 80 shots with 9mm lead I wasn't holding the forks at 90° with the lower fork coming in towards my body at full draw which I reckon was sending it upwards. Taking a break is the best advice I've heard.
I'm from Srilanka ,I became big fan of your channel
Thank you so much 😀
I keep coming across your videos and you have a lot of experience with slingshot darts my main question is can you do a video on how to tie the string that replaces the pouch to be able to shoot darts with band and tubes because honestly I can't remember the name of the knot to be able to search it up to rekindle my memory
Very good discussion and hang out guys. You guys are awesome man. Learned how to shoot from yall. Love from San Antonio Texas
Thank you for answering my question!
Appreciate it 🤙
No problem 👍
The snipersling. 50 yellow dont have a wall ❤😂👍
What could be the reason that after 10 to 15 shots on new rubber, deep scratches appear in the rubber?
Happy New Year Chris! Glad to see a new video!
Same to you!
Can you make a traditional slingshot with the steel frame wrapped in leather?
Hey sorry to bother you greetings from across the plastic filled pond! When I see you use your spindle sander do you just have either an abrasive paper disk or regular sandpaper tied or rubber banded to the spindle? Please tell me briefly what that is it could save a ton of money!
Happy new year. Love the catapult.
Hi guy,s so good to see you back,
Happy New Year lads, enjoyed the chat, thanks for posting 👍
Same to you!
Hunting with 8mm what do max bands would you use
Loving these chats mate. Keep them coming! 👍🏻
Glad you like them!
Even with 8mm , omega electric white penetrates the squirrel!!! They have the best latex I have ever used!!!! I have way more power using there latex something else it’s insane power!!!! OMEGA SLINGS 👍🏻👍🏻
you definitely had snipersling black from a way better batch.. I have been shooting the band set that you sent with my S90 n it's still going n I shoot it daily.. the stuff I have can n has broke in the band jig.. the .07 army green is definitely my favorite followed by .08 yellow.. good stuff as always.. my thing is letting shots fly before I get on the 🎯 properly for whatever reason lol
What's your opinion on mechanical releases?
happy new year guys.
sling'in it is my new favourite watch on CZcams.
on to barefoot shoes Chris as you mentioned vivo...check out wildling shoes. I've found these to be the closest to barefoot, more so then vivo. vivo however have the forest esc boot that I think is the best bushcraft/outdoor barefoot boot on the market.
❤❤
Aku suka videonya❤
Happy new year guys!
happy new year pal
Hi lads, good to see you back
Hey, thanks!
I get trouble with my 3rd shot but often would hit 9 out of 10. It drives me crazy. Think I've got phobia about it . 🙄
I m frm africa zambia lusaka u can deliver to me some darts i want to buy?
🔥🔥👍🍻
I need your slingshot
seen an article on the news recently .looks like catapult hunting will soon be outlawed just as bow hunting was in the 60s what is needed from hunters is a strong ,loud unified voice and political representation .it will happen if we allow it to and dont become proactive .
I tell ya what , I found out the hard way how bad and shitty Thera Band is !!!!! This shit is garbage mate. I will only take your advice from here on out!! I went by Zack Fowler and I completely disagree unfortunately with him this stuff isn’t worth a darn!!!!
