@@raytry69 One of the things they don't tell you about when shooting a slingshot is that the slingshot has to be custom size to yourself; width of the fork and size of your face affects where the anchor point should be, few millimetres off means the difference between a pin point accurate shot and a miss, When GP J says the anchor point he uses is at the corner of the lip, that is what is right for him with the width of slingshot frame he uses, if someone else picks up that slingshot, they may not get as accurate a shot, when shooting slingshots and bows, the thing is your body is a part of the weapon; the reference and anchor points are the foresight and rear iron sights respectively, except in a slingshot the foresight which is the reference point is higher that the rear sight in the case of a Rifle or handgun, it may seem a bit weird, but that's how it works Once you get those nailed down, you will get accurate shots that can put meat in the pot

@stevevess8464 2 жыл бұрын

One of the lessons I learned shooting Archery was the importance of FOLLOW THROUGH after the shot, and I haven't seen it addressed in any how to shoot a slingshot videos. Which is the subconscious tendency to anticipate the shot and relaxing one or both of your hands and/or the body position prematurely, also called peeking. The fix is to hold your entire hand and body positions until the shot hits the target. Then relax. Also allow a brief time interval between the shots. To allow the muscles to recover and your brain to process the prior shot. Don't hurry and instantly begin reloading for the next shot thus blurring all the shots together!

@Nazareth434 Ай бұрын

that is probably the single most important bit of advice that i have found- as long as im totally concentrated on holding the slingshot hand steady i can really zero in on the target consistently- but it's hard to keep remembering to do that- and after a dozen or more misses- it comes back to me that I wasn't holding slingshot hand position until target is reached=- -

Thank you for the great tutorial. There was no internet and no instructions came with the slingshots I purchased years ago, nor was there anyone to ask for help learning to shoot the slingshot accurately so it was point and shoot inaccurately with no idea what to do to improve. I had no idea about anchor point and reference point but enjoyed many hours of fun regardless. I will put your information to use as soon as I decide which slingshot to purchase or make.

@saintsfisherman 6 жыл бұрын

wonderful wonderful wonderful! I enjoy that you are not telling people that there is only one way. You are right that as long as you are hitting the target you are doing what suits you. I have taught rifle and handgun marksmanship and my classes were very similar to this class. It was nice for me to have it broken back down from grade one and worked up from there. I would love to be one of the guys that can not think and just shoot but I think there are years ahead of me before that. So I am going to take your thumb to cheek method and see where that takes me. Thanks again for your videos. Now if I can use your other video and attach my pouch and straps then we will see how I do. ha ha
