Awesome video! I only wish it came out 3 months ago, when I started shooting.. but, I can't say enough good things about Simple Shot's products and customer service, not to mention their entire library of slingshot videos :)
I thought I'd share a flaw in my shooting I recently figured out. I was the kid that was always told to sit up straight. As a result I naturally slouch just a bit. I kept getting left/right misses I couldn't explain. One day it clicked and I started making sure I was standing up straight and tensing my back muscles a bit. A straight back is a kind of mechanical lock. You can't be any more upright than that. That makes it easily repeatable, whereas a slouching posture can a bit different every time.
I just recently received my Scout X. I have not had the opportunity to shoot it yet. I am very much looking forward to it. This demo came at just the right time. Thanks!
So cool ! I just got into sling shots a year or two ago and am addicted. It's really fun, good wholesome fun but my neighbors yelled at me for shooting the STOP sign. Good thing a bunch of coolege girls thought it was hilarious and took photos of the dented sign for online, I suppose.
@@simpleshothi there i just did your eye dominance test. I hold slingshot in my left hand im right handed. Ive always used my right eye for ott because thats how its taught. But doing your test im left eye dominant?? So now what the heck do i do im not changing hands!?? You teach nwver to change your anchor point. But im getting groups about 2inches right and high. And i cant aford to be aiming in an imaginary point two inches left and low all the time cos its not accurate floating out in the wind hoping for a hit. You need that hit on your reference point else why bother having sites at all?? Surely you move your reference point to match your anchor??
Thank you for the great tutorial. I have a quick question. It has become apparent from watching this video that i am sighting with my non-dominant eye. I hold the pouch with my right hand, sight with my right eye, and my anchor point is my right cheek, but it is actually my left eye that is dominant, so does this pose a problem for me with regards to accuracy and how can i correct this if it does? Many thanks for the great vids and awesome products. Simpleshot rules.
I shoot with the "wrong eye" also, it really just depends on the shooter. I'm right handed, right eye dominate, but I usually shoot my slingshot holding the frame in my right hand. Your dominate hand is better at point and shoot. Hope this helps
It will certainly be more difficult to have consistent accuracy. Try holding the frame in the other hand and drawing to your dominant eye. While it is odd feeling at first, it does help in the long run.
@@coyoteslings Thanks, yes that helps. Haha, I've just been stood with my slingshot practicing my aim trying to work out if i'm just weird or not. I'm right handed, hold the slingshot with my left hand and i'm left eye dominant, but i use my right eye to sight. When i close my right eye and use my left instead it throws my aim out by a few inches. I think as long as i'm sighting down the bands to the fork tip then i can still use my non dominant eye to get that straight line of sight. It's something i've never considered before and has me intrigued. Thanks bud, i appreciate it.
@@simpleshot Thanks for the reply. I'm going to give it a go. It really has me intrigued as i've never considered eye dominance before. I guess tomorrow i'm going to be trying a few things out. If it helps me become a more consistant shooter then it'll be well worth it. I feel like i have an opportunity to level up my progression and break through a plateau. Thanks again, it means a lot to me.
@@GhostZero1111when I first started, I was missing my targets by a few inches consistently until I soon realized I was using the wrong eye. I’m right handed, left eye dominant. I am kind of a motor moron with drawing with my left arm, so I trained myself to use my -dominant eye for aiming. This has worked for me. I carry it over to my firearm training as well, to stay consistent.
Thank you Mike. I grew up on a brushy ranch and everything pokes ya. Eye glasses were just a given. But I notice that hikers and campers and even guys slingin' 8mm steel rarely have a pair of glasses on. One bit of saw dust/bark etc to the eye can wreck a fishing, hunting, hiking, shooting....trip. As a bonified old man, " kids! Wear yer glasses". Thank you, end of rant.
Can we please see a Glow in the dark Slant Roller or Sparrow next? Those are two really cool and really comfortable slingshots besides being unique. I know the Scout is popular but, it'd be nice to see other frames in cool colors/ glow in the dark besides the scout. If you made a glow in the dark Slant Roller or a glow in the dark Sparrow I'd buy it or them on the spot. Glow in the dark things are cool.
I like the optic! Does the clip fit on other Scout models? I recently brought out my Axiom Ocularis, which I haven’t used in a while. Realized my Scout is my favorite😜
Fantastic my friend! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Jordan, as much as I try I still need direction.
Nice Job Jordan 👌
Add wearing safety glasses to step 1!

Thanks for the visit
Great video.
Thanks!
I notice that eye protection is not on the list.
It's written out a few times during the demonstration. Thanks for being cautious!

Unfortunately at this time, other frames are not an option.
Saw the glow in the dark champ and ordered immediately. Getting closer to the ultimate frame. Let’s get a glow in the dark LT2 and I’ll buy 3 of em.
There's glow in the dark scales and clips for the scout LT2!!
I like the optic! Does the clip fit on other Scout models?
I recently brought out my Axiom Ocularis, which I haven’t used in a while. Realized my Scout is my favorite😜
Ooooh… I see there’s a special model for the X! Didn’t know this was a thing!
I’ll just have to get the new Scout, too!😜
Smo!
because his thumbnail is facing his cheek, and he's pinching the ammo, does this mean the bands are pulled with a 90 degree twist in them?
I can't wink lol
Is he wearing Safety Contacts?
