Slingshot Shooting Fundamentals

Slingshots are simple and easy to learn tools. However, mastering the fundamentals goes a long way towards increasing your long term enjoyment. Learn the fundamentals early on and avoid developing bad habits, and your slingshot shooting will not only be more pleasurable but more effective.

One of the best slingshot/ catapult videos ever produced by amateur or pro! I subscribed today and was able to hit the target today as well thanks to you. Thank you brother... -Mike

[@bryanaugard4060]

Dude thanks for this. Fundamentals first in everything!

[@kalebwiebe2888]

Even though its one of your older video its super helpful thanks SimpleShot.

[@tmcmellon]

I have found that it helps a great deal to roll your eyes back and look at the position of your fingers before the release when practicing. You won't believe how much you can be biased to to the left or right or up or down. Your fingers should be positioned to release the ball straight ahead. I learned the hard way.

[@alexandraocean9398]

Thx , very precise! Much appreciated!

[@saint3210]

When you said "rotate the pouch almost 90degrees". I was like WHAT?? But I tried it and surprisingly hit the target! wow!

[@ZZZ7773]

Excellent man, you just told me everything I was doing wrong. Thank you so much !!!

[@SRowe1999]

I'm 42 years old, but I'm never too old to learn.

Nice!

[@ericwiese7479]

Hmm…I’m inconsistently inconsistent 🤔. Lol. It’s been awhile! Plus it’s cold outside here in Minnesota.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@simpleshot]

No problem

[@marshalldunlap8358]

Excellent. We’ll done.

[@simpleshot]

Thank you! We hope that it helped you out.

[@nityanandaray5298]

Sir, what would be my actual band length ,if I use flat band of8.5mm rubber, my total elongation being 30inches?

[@simpleshot]

That would depend on what the bands elongation factor is.

[@a234633]

Hi I was wondering if this what the slingshot course you offer is like?

[@simpleshot]

Yes, there are videos like this and each is broke down so you can move at your own pace.

[@ahmedelkhatib8367]

Why does the band slap your finger when you shoot

[@simpleshot]

It's recoil. Check out czcams.com/video/kS-4jX7heBo/video.html for an old video on this topic!
And it's easy to fix!

[@squirmssq3352]

aim with Both eyes or no.....??? WE NEED MORE great advice

[@simpleshot]

Aim with your dominant eye if aiming.

[@choco_m9]

My release is trash. If I don't firmly pinch it always slips. But you say not to pinch. Im confused

[@simpleshot]

You want to pinch the ammo, not pinch in front of the ammo on the pouch. 😉

I have a wrist banded one i only keep it at my summer place in PA

[@_g_520]

I practice i dont wanna hurt the animals

Quando si cerca di spiegare, come ingegneri, come si tira una fionda.
Un po' come spiegare a Rocco Siffredi come si tromba.

[@gregrandolph2845]

Question: Are you right handed?

[@syouqsyouqree7381]

i think he is lefty... 😅 coz he pull the pouch with the left hand. hahaha

[@squirmssq3352]

I'm left handed -But shoot slingshot/Bow right handed..... and Play guitar right handed.... everything else I do lefty lol

[@syouqsyouqree7381]

@@squirmssq3352
see..just like mine too, i shoot slingshot with my right hand even i'm lefty too. hihihi.... coz my right eye does not work better than my left eye sir. that's why....kikikiki LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@randycassidy198]

@@squirmssq3352 same I’m lefty but right eye dominant

[@tomt8915]

Why follow through it's so important?

[@simpleshot]

This helps you keep on target and not move off which can throw the shot off of target as well.

[@JustinNathanson]

A slingshot fundamentals video, with no demonstration of shooting anything. In fact Ive been through all of your videos.....do you realize that you never ever show anyone properly using this product?

[@simpleshot]

You are correct, we don't have many videos of just plain shooting. Rather, we offer more in depth videos on specifics of the slingshot sport. What sort of shooting videos would you like to see us make? In the meantime, check out a few of these: czcams.com/video/iS3jMOUl9SI/video.html

Thanks guys. I know you are product makers, not video makers per se, but in my quest to find the perfect slingshot, it would have been cool to see a clear, full torso shot of someone using the product. I am looking for one. And it was just something that made me curious, as I looked through all of your videos....one video turned into the next....and as someone who works in marketing, yeah, it just made me curious is all. I'm sure you guys make an awesome product....it looks great. CZcams being a visual medium, I think there is an opportunity - cool videos of people shooting them - I bet you'd even sell a heck more! Even hold a slingshot -trickshot contest, for example. ....people can make / send in their own videos. Anyway. I'll buy one.

[@simpleshot]

Thanks Justin. We will consider everything you say during our next shoot. :)

[@squirmssq3352]

this video helPs alot about tiPs on what to do...!!! seeing HIM hit Bullseye WONT make U any Better..... Pshhh
