Another great video! Now you know you have to sell some clear axiom Ocularis slingshots! That would be an amazing addition and second slingshot from you all :)
Love it got my first slingshot posted down under today got the scout xt I love it. Never shot slingshot before it feels quite easy to be relatively accurate but all these tips are great yeeeeeooooowwwww🇦🇺🙏
This video only discussed right or left. My most hits are on upper side of the paper. I tried to lower a little bit of my front hand then it not hit the target paper at all. I tried higher of the back hand then the band hit my chin😂 I’m very new and so confuse about where I should adjust
Woah that clear axiom ocularis looks so cool. Wish you guys had that on your site. I ordered my first ever slingshot and I definitely would've gotten the clear. Bet I'll enjoy it anyway (;
@@simpleshot I saw that! Looks super clean. From what I've seen I'll need to wait till I'm really good at normal slingshots before I dive into pickle forks. Definitely will get that one later on!
i am weird i hold right hand but am l right eye dominant i had an accident and now my left eye doesnt line up well where before i was accurate now am trying to hold left hand and use right eye other than practice any tips
What if ur a left handed shooter and the shots keep to the 3oclock area im confused why. the grouping is good just need 2 inches 2 the left .should i move my anchor out away from my face. Ps i shoot gangster
I have a question, in one of your videos you mentioned that slingshots have a shooter/target side, and that on the axiom ocularis the logo was to be on the shooter side, i would like to know what would happen if I assembled everything correctly but I had the logo facing outwards. Is the hole tapered? Thanks ahead of time
No, Diego. The Ocularis hole is not tapered, so you'd be just fine. You just wouldn't be experiencing the grip as designed. The frame is designed to be held with the logo facing the shooter, so you wouldn't be benefiting from the grips on the fork. But like most things... whatever works for you! :)
Not a stupid question at all. First: whatever is most comfortable for YOU! A great idea though (with all marksmanship skills) is to draw back to your dominant eye. Most shooters can keep both eyes open when drawing to the dominant eye. No everyone draws to the dominant eye, but it's a best practice.
I'm a right handed shooter(OTT) but my shots fall about 3 inches(grouped) to the left of the target. I need to put a rubber sight on all of my slingshots to compensate for the irregularity of the sight. Am I doing something wrong? Buy the way I have your torque, Scout XT, and the Axiom champ. I shoot really accurate with the torque with a rubber sight sticking out from the frame.
Sometimes I drill a little hole in the fork and stick one of those little red straws in, from cans of spray lube. Also, I may dot some dayglo nail polish on it.
I thought I saw in another video of yours saying that this falling away with the hand was fine, as long as it's consistent? Like if you flick at the end... Or was that the pouch release? I've seen the GZK guy has a pretty pronounced anchor hand flick.
There are shooters who flick. As long as you flick it the same way and do not move it off of the target, it is fine. It does take more work to do this consistently though. The pouch release hand you want stationary with no movement.
I'm left handed Nathan but my shots are going to the right side of the target and there going high aswell I've been shooting for 2 years now I was a pretty decent shot couple months ago but I've changed slingshot from ttf to ott and changed from 8mm to 9.5 I don't get what's going on are you able to help by any chance please??
Nice tips sir, I'm right handed shooting as u hold ur slingshot, but sir which eye should I use for sighting my aim is it left eye or my right eye, kindly respond I m new to slingshot aiming.
You use the eye on the same side as the drawing hand. If you are drawing with your right hand you will aim with your right eye. If you are drawing with your left hand you will use your left eye.
@@simpleshot Thanks sir for ur respond I m drawing with my left hand. And here in local area we use 90° meaning slingshot upward not side way how u hold or other competition players hold. And with heavy draw weight of tube band for more power using marbals or stone more than 15mm as ammo for hunting is it good or not sir
@@simpleshot sir I have watch your heavy band draw weight video tips but here from generation to generation we r using heavy draw weight band for bird hunting. Which would be wrong I accept, kindly make some more convince video to use lighter band, more over sir heavy band last more longer time.
@@simpleshot You know what, I was just practicing a little, and I think I figured it out. I'm right handed, and I hold my slingshot with my left hand. My shots were consistently hitting to the left and slightly low. Focusing on keeping the slingshot steady seemed to help. So you were right, I just didn't understand what you meant by a "right handed shooter". Thanks for the video!
I just discovered that whole slingshot stuff after almost two decades of not shooting one (and having found out, that we did it terribly wrong as kids): Is it a bad idea - and if so, why? - to hold the slingshot in your right hand if you are right handed. The idea is, that it should be way easier to hold everything stable if you use your dominant hand as anchor hand.
It is not a problem at all. Eye dominance is more important than the stronger hand in general, but the number one factor is what's comfortable for you! Whatever produces consistent results for you is the way to go!
You got a good piece of advice here. Just a small adjustment in the anchor point will make a big difference. It could be the anchor hand as discussed here, still, depending on how you shoot. Some people "flick" the frame and that can throw your shot too! In the end, consistently high is great. If you're always high, you can adjust and be consistently right on!

How about a video about improving range estimation/elevation at random, unknown distances.
That clear axiom is super nice
Thank you for making these vids
I agree! Thanks

I hold the Slingshot in my left hand and seem to always hit high right what's up
Woah that clear axiom ocularis looks so cool. Wish you guys had that on your site. I ordered my first ever slingshot and I definitely would've gotten the clear. Bet I'll enjoy it anyway (;
The only clear we offer is the Flippin Pickle! Thanks for checking out SimpleShot!

Sounds like a stupid question but how would one determine which hand they shoot with i.e. draw hand to anchor hand vice versa.?
Not a stupid question at all.
First: whatever is most comfortable for YOU!
A great idea though (with all marksmanship skills) is to draw back to your dominant eye. Most shooters can keep both eyes open when drawing to the dominant eye.
No everyone draws to the dominant eye, but it's a best practice.
Whats your slingshot?
I'm a right handed shooter(OTT) but my shots fall about 3 inches(grouped) to the left of the target.

If you're consistent, then simply adjusting the sighting is the answer! 👊
Sometimes I drill a little hole in the fork and stick one of those little red straws in, from cans of spray lube. Also, I may dot some dayglo nail polish on it.

Please come to our live chats on our website.
Is it possible to buy a clear axiom ocularis?
Not at this time.
Nice tips sir, I'm right handed shooting as u hold ur slingshot, but sir which eye should I use for sighting my aim is it left eye or my right eye, kindly respond I m new to slingshot aiming.
Please tell me sir, which eye should I use , love from India
You use the eye on the same side as the drawing hand. If you are drawing with your right hand you will aim with your right eye. If you are drawing with your left hand you will use your left eye.

And with heavy draw weight of tube band for more power using marbals or stone more than 15mm as ammo for hunting is it good or not sir
@@AnubhavAnkitGeorge 15mm is more than enough for most hunting. Be careful with those heavy bands though. Heavy bands are hard to aim!
@@simpleshot sir I have watch your heavy band draw weight video tips but here from generation to generation we r using heavy draw weight band for bird hunting. Which would be wrong I accept, kindly make some more convince video to use lighter band, more over sir heavy band last more longer time.
I hold my slingshot in my left hand but all my shots hit like 10 inches right how do I correct that
Try moving your feet perpendicular to the target face.
What if you're right handed and your shots tend to go to the left though?
So you mean you hold with the right hand or draw with the right hand?
@@simpleshot You know what, I was just practicing a little, and I think I figured it out. I'm right handed, and I hold my slingshot with my left hand. My shots were consistently hitting to the left and slightly low. Focusing on keeping the slingshot steady seemed to help.
So you were right, I just didn't understand what you meant by a "right handed shooter".
Thanks for the video!
@@johnhanley9946 Awesome!
This is exactly what we love to hear! Keep at it and you'll be deadly in no time!
well my problem is my shot land everywhere but the point i aim.
Check out slingshotmastery.com and learn from Nathan!
@@simpleshot you know, that's like 87% of my monthly income so i appreciate your offer but im not interested in fasting for a month.

@@simpleshot thank you very much for the reply. If I stick to this I will surely remember your shop anf and get an axiom and some bands 👍
@@numendomini You're very welcome. So glad to hear that you've re-discovered slingshots!
I’m shooting high.
You could try lowering your anchor point slightly.
I think you meant "raise" the anchor point so that the shot takes a lower trajectory.
joker0206 Right. What SamuraiSamoht14 said. Raise your anchor point.
You got a good piece of advice here. Just a small adjustment in the anchor point will make a big difference. It could be the anchor hand as discussed here, still, depending on how you shoot. Some people "flick" the frame and that can throw your shot too!
In the end, consistently high is great. If you're always high, you can adjust and be consistently right on!
@@SamuraiSamoht14 indeed I did. My bad.
im da fiiiiiiiiirst
good videos today keep it up !!! =)
much love !!
Congratulations! :)
