The most important thing in this video was: Don't use over heavy bands !!! That is a thing, that makes perfect release very difficult.

New to the hobby. Strangly addicted (recently retired). Great tips. Always felt my release was my weakness. God's speed.

Wow. Your advice on having an "open pouch" and a relaxed hand have lead to the biggest improvement in my accuracy and consistency. I've have only been shooting for 3 weeks, doing at least 100 shots per day, and watching lots and lots of KZfaq videos, but THIS was by far the most helpful to me. I've just built a catch box similar to your barrel, and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos and spending many more hours with my slingshot. Liked and subscribed!

Boy you’re definitely on point!!!! 👍

Really good video 🤟🤟🤟

Great vid , thanks for taking the time,very helpful

Excellent video ! I've only been shooting since mid-2023, and really love shooting slingshots... I did archery with my father when I was about 5 years until I was in my mid-20s... got away from it due to other interests and getting married... now retired... been into spring-piston airguns for a couple of decades now, and have a nice 42 foot shooting range in my basement... perfect for setting up a slingshot target, & really enjoying it ! If I were to add a 4th component, it would be breathing, which is really important for everything one does (I'm also a harmonica player). Deep breath through your nose using your diaphragm while drawing the bands, pause, aim, release and slow breath out (nose or mouth). A few practice breaths before starting to shoot always helps too... helps getting you relaxed... good for your blood pressure too ! I really enjoy your channel !

Thanks. Great tips for this newbie.

Very very good informative video I really mean that buddy. I tend to keep my elbow low because my dam shoulder always hurts me from a car accident I was in, but now I know why I get fork hits sometimes now I can really believe you saying this it makes so much sence. Thank you very much my friend.

Thanks for these tips,going to try them out

Great content as usual. Very important tips and advices. Very valuable!

Wonderful advice for the paper!

Thank you very much for this vid. Great tips.

great tips ... thanks for sharing :)

Brother! Great tutorial! I think you’ve found your calling! 👊

Solid work

The band set advice was dead on! Great advice!

Best ever video!

Solid advice, all second nature to me now. Really well explained video this one.

Only been at at this since April Mark but I find myself going back to your vids all the time for tutorials. Thanks so much for posting! Hope to be as good accuracy wise as you one day....

great video and great tips my friend😊👍

Thanks a lot, your videos are the best to learn slingshot shooting right from the beginning! Very well done! 👍👍

Great lesson.,I enjoy all your enthusiasm and knowledge..much obliged !

When I was shooting a lot, we used to shoot sticks and stones against the bank. You could see where the shot went. Great help. I would have never have thought of the open pouch. Bad posture you can hear the ball hit the top rail of the fence. Thank you for the tips, Mark. Stay safe and stay cool

Hi there, this is the best advice on this subject I've found on KZfaq, Thanks so much. Mike from the UK.

Thank you so much for your advice I need it I started out several months ago I love the way you explain it you break it down great video !

that pouch hold you showed in brand new to me, Im gonna try it tonight, you have some great tips , Im subbing!! thanks

Great tips mark I really enjoy your vids! Your a great teacher!

Excellent

Great informative video thanks mark 👍

im glad I found this channel def subscribed, great content 👌🏽👌🏽

You shoot a slingshot like I play golf. If it doesn’t land where you want it to, you have to figure it out. Exactly. So many golfers at the range are just hitting ball after ball. They’re just practicing their bad habits. Getting better at hitting bad shots. And you don’t get ‘another shot’ in the course. I can see part of your physical pre-shot routine. There’s probably something similar going on in your head. Enjoying your clips a lot.

Excellent video. Good solid info there friend. Nice backyard. No snow! Agree on the powerful bands. Seen the same in archery. A lot of people over bow and their form falls apart cause they cannot handle the poundage yet.

Thanks for the tips, new to slingshots and think my accuracy failing may be pouch grip so going to give it a try👍

glad I found this. I was about to dismiss, believing I have first suggestion already done, but posture and bands weight makes a lot of sense that I've suspected but didn't check thoroughly, like with a camera.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻a very informative video there Mark......great tips.....2 Gamechange r tips for me there(I hope so anyway)......+++jumped to .62 bands and found it difficult to hold on the bone ......so bad form followed....thanks soooo much for doing that vid bro🤙🏻🤙🏻

🎉🎉❤

Wisdom cannot be purchased, it can be earned. Your way is a correct way.

Great video as usual pal. I shoot my bands the other way around, bands making a V right at the pouch. Not too sure if it makes any difference, you should try it out to see if there is any difference. If so maybe do a video on it

Just found your channel - great stuff! Nice to watch a slingshot video where the host has a Canadian accent EH! Cheers from Perth Ontario!

My fork hits are gone! Thanks Mark.😃

Excellent advice - thank you! A pinch pouch helped me eliminate I had a lot of the problems that you describe. I also cut bands from resistance bands - cheap and light.

1:16 what do you call those washers or gazkets around your screws / bolts? I really like the look been searching for them.

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful! By the way,I'm looking for the titan hunter,can you tell me where can I buy it?On line store?

How much money do you estimate you've spent on slingshot stuff. Great vid

Thanks for the video. I guess I've got a lot to work on with my release. I uploaded a few short videos of me shooting, maybe you could give them a look?

This is a tough challenge, I ain't have a vice grip, unless I quick shoot, I can't maintain that V opening for a moment

Great shooting buddy, don't you do any hunting? I can here ducks and geese in the video.

at 4:25 you talk about curving the pouch and not being predictable. i was having a bad time shooting with small framed slingshots and bbs. they were very inconsistent on the vertical plane. even though the anchor point was always the same i had a response from gzk to upper my pouch to lower the shot but i realized that tilting thw pouch can be predictable and very helpfull to know. Now for the slingshot community if you tilt your thumb down the shot wil.go.down if your thumb goes up your shot will also go up. give it a try. that way your anchor point dosent have to change when you change slingshots.

8:26 and slow down video to 0.25. Your ammo went straight to the right after the fork hit :D

Mark tagged ya buddy new video let me know if you want to

Lovely stuff, but if i pull straight at the elbow (horizontal) i literally have to turn my hand over and release finger up (upside down to you if you will) cos my arms is too long, but if i tuck my elbow in as you say my release is all over the shop, thanks for the pointers though vicar very useful!

Just quick technical question. Can I put 23mm bands on 20mm fork tip? Scut lt

That 2 finger hold with the fore finger and the middle finger. I am going to see if it is for me.

How many yards were you shooting in this video.

I see allot of people on youtube aiming straight to the target, but i noticed that i need to aim a little lower from the target to hit my target, is that a release problem or just a distance thing?

Everything has to be in Harmony ! same Anchor point same relaxed pinch grip and Smoothly does it every time ! ..well pretty much when it all comes together its good!

I hear birds in the background.

Good morning from the Sonoran Desert 🏜️ As a new slinger, i found this helped alot. Release is not easily covered on video, and you did a fantastic job describing the little details
