Absolutely true! The one thing I would add to that is once you have your anchor point set there are fork widths you will shoot better than others. But the price, who makes it and where it is made don't mean nothing. Its all how you shoot it that makes it accurate. Great video brother

I agree with you brother it comes down to the operator !

Natural forks are even cheaper , They actually do grow on trees .

I agree. Once you get the basics down and an outer fork gap that suits your point of release the best your all set. It's just a mater of comfort from there. The frame is just a handle the performance is in the bands and how they're cut.

Preferencefor all metal frame because it doesn't flex under pressure, survives fork hits very well, won't shatter as theframe gets older. Some wood/metal hybrids can break under pressure over time especially if the handle is wood and is bolted onto metal forks. If frame and handle are all one piece of metal, far less .ikely to break over time. Also look for easier to install band mechanisms.

This is by far the best video I’ve seen yet and you are so right brother

💯👍 yup. Only thing I didn't understand is why you had to go back for the camera? 😂great video brother 👊🥃

Hello, I'm happy to have found your channel and I'm enjoying your videos. I completely agree. I started with an Ocularus and still think it's a great value. I rarely shoot it in favor of my homemade frames, which is a whole other addiction on its own. I just started cutting my own bands. My initial ones were far from perfect. Despite that, I was able to adapt to their quirks become accurate. For target practice I've been shooting simple shot black .6mm in 16mm straight cut. For backyard can smashing they have enough umph with 3/8th steel. They live a lot long than tapered bands and are much easier to cut. The thing I like best is the lighter draw and no dancing fork tips. I can step up to 18 or 20 mm to gain some power. 20 is a bit too much for 3/8th, it will give you some hand slap.

Great video and "points". This is the first video of yours that I've watched... and immediately subscribed to your channel.. was also the 369th "like" for this video. A World Class, real life example of what you said in this video.... was that of Rufus Hussey - aka - "The Bean Shooter Man" from Seagrove, NC. He was featured on Johnny Carson's - Tonight Show, back in 1986 if I remember correctly. I have NEVER in my life (been around for 7 decades, now) seen ANYONE, Anywhere... shoot a slingshot as fast, and with more accuracy, than ole Rufus did. He could flip a Dime up in the air, load his slingshot and hit the dime (sometimes a nickel, or a quarter... whatever he had on him) before it was half way back down from its arc!! He was also known to have shot bugs on leaves, from over 30 ft away... without Ever, touching the leaf itself. He would shoot at a standing reed in a roadside ditch.... you tell him which way you wanted it to fall (left or right), and he would make it fall in that direction, better than 95% of the time... from 30 to 50 ft away! But, here's the "kicker".... he NEVER owned a "store bought" slingshot... he made his own, out of Dog Wood "forked" branches (and sold a lot of them, to), and also Maple .... his last one was numbered 15, 364 (not positive on the last 3 digits), and he used tire Inner Tube rubber for bands, for many years, but I believe he switched to Latex rubber, when they stopped making the old "red" rubber inner tubes, years ago. For ammo pouches, Rufus would make them from old, leather Shoe "tongues" (between the shoe laces & your foot... for you young people who don't know), but the Real "clincher" was his ammo............ Rocks / Stones!!! He could fire off 2 or 3 shots with 100% on target accuracy.... in the time it takes Many SS shooters to aim and let off even One shot.... and that was when he was in his 60's!! His "Average" time, between loading a stone, and sending it to its target, was Less than 4 Seconds!! There are video's of him online (unless someone in his family had them removed for whatever reason)... and one special one, was a TV interview with him out at his farm... look for it, you will be awe-struck at how fast and accurate ole Rufus "The Bean Shooter Man" Hussey, really was!! Even Johnny Carson had him on his TV show.... you should look it up. It was pulled off of YT for a year or so, supposedly for copyright infringement, but it's back up there again... I believe it was in 1986, that ole Rufus was on there. He was truly a Slingshot Legend in his time (he passed away on Feb.24th, 1994... just 74 years old).... and Still is, in the hearts and minds of those who ever witnessed his unbelievable shooting skills and speed with homemade slingshots.... and Rocks!! Keep up the good work with your video's.... will be watching. Thanks again.

Great video! Been shooting about a year. Started with scout....moved to cheap frame (which I love) and now buying a Robin. Stay safe Brad

You are the absolute truth brother! 👍🏾

Amazing video brother!! You said it right!

again a great video brother👍yes, you're right. and actually one slingshot is enough, but i think me and most slingshot shooters have more🤷‍♂️

Great video! That pouch is super important too.

That is true brother! I’ve got a 15 dollar Chinese slingshot from Amazon that I shot pretty well. On a side note my Simple Shot slingbow came in yesterday. So far I’m pretty impressed with it. Shots fast and seems pretty accurate. Of course I need to practice with it a lot more

Amazing!!

Good shooting as always. Have to agree it's the shooter. I have many frames. But I'm most consistent with the axiom champ. Small frame. I think I bought that on special from simpleshot Christmas deal for like 20 bucks if that. Love it and shoot it all the time.

Watched it. Agree with you. But…. As a beginner I bought the Simple-Shot Cleaver Pro. A $125 slingshot. To me, that qualifies as expensive. And it immediately improved my accuracy. Now I should add that I think the reason for this is that this model has several holes that allow for different configurations of the wrist strap. A little experimentation resulted in my finding a configuration that provided an extremely stable grip. Not only that but because of the way this slingshot is designed(???) to be gripped, I can allow my hand to completely relax while reloading without the grip changing AT ALL. I can even hang my hand down by my side in a relaxed position and the grip just does not move. This means one aspect of a repeatable technique, the grip and orientation, is always the same.

real talk for sure!!!

Again straight up truth.

Your video helped in my decision making 😉 Eventually I'd like to buy several frames from many of the guys I'm watching on KZfaq. But, for the first two for my grandson and myself, I'll take your advice. We'll see how well we like it (and I'm certain we will!!) and graduate to better well-made frames. Thanks for taking the time!!!

Expensive slingshots are nice to have if You have a lot extra money (I don't have). But yes, You can be accurate, when shooting frameless or with any kind of fork, so it depends just of Your own skills. Good video man 👏👊😎

Great video, you should do one of your expensive ones!

Great video!!!

You are great for telling the truth mate I love it 🎯👍😁

That was absolutely amazing man!

Totally agree with you brother.

I hope that most beginners watch this video, some great information here! Also, excellent shooting man:)

True.. I used wrist rocket slingshot and replaced the tubular bands with flat bands.. At first, I thought my slingshot frame was defect but over the time I keep practicing using it, eventually I get the trick to hit the target.. Currently I can hit the target as far as 20 meters with the target size as big as jam can with that wrist rocket slingshot even without using wrist rest on it..

I have a variety of slingshots and agree with you, but, I shoot better with some frames. Cost has nothing to do with it. I think it’s comfort in the hand. Also some have sites and others don’t. Practice is very important too. Great videos. Keep um comin!

Nice. Do you hold the slingshot in your right hand or is that just camera reversal?

A better saying that soldiers have is “ all the gear, no idea”

Thanks 4 sharing

How to get use to different kind of Slingshot?

that shot was NOICEEEE

100 percent mate. But we all like loads of em , like guns one is never enough, great vid mate. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧

Great video mate 👍🏻 iv just bought my first sling shot glad that I resisted the urge to by a £60 one I had my eye on …..still spent £30 like 🤣 ah well I like the look of it

Yes correct and I buy custom hand made slingshots for the beauty and ergos. Mostly looks bc you can find plastic slingshots that fit like a glove.

💯 Agree it’s the shooter not the frame I can shoot any frame any fork width

That's what's awesome about slingshots

Well said that man

So true

But what when the frames fail happened to me more than a few times or bands I've paid for

I shoot 2 Zachary Fowler designed frames. The Sparrow or the Hornet. The blended profiles of both frames are comfortable to hold.

hahahahaha You had me with Chuck Norris....Great Info and True with a Lot of Funness hahaha

It’s true you don’t NEED more than 1 catapult, but where’s the fun in that? Have a collection! It will make you more experienced and shoot better.👍🇬🇧

Funny guy 😊👍 And yeah ofcause your right on what your saying 😊 Cheers 👍

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I want to support artisans, and local ones if possible. That said, all I want to do, is chase away the flying rats that shit all over my freshly painted fence. I don't need to kill them, and I don't think I need to part with a fat wad of folding to achieve that modest aim. Here, in Scotland, even air pistols or rifles require a gun licence, so it's tomahawks, slings or catapults. I understand your logic. Coming from a construction background, I like working with quality products, but could still get the job done with middle of Lidl chisels, as I know how to get them super sharp. A £20 catapult will, I'm sure, be just fine to shoot the 3 to 5 yards accurately enough with practice.

Oooo helll noooo😂😂😂 Yes bro u right You cant buy accuracy Good video bro👍

Can you recommend me some best slingshot with cheap rate and some very best replacement bands

You can buy a lot of things such as ergonomics, smart band attachment system or sturdy materials, but accuracy is definetely not one of those

Spot on brother.....I have an Enzo wasp...if I put the tip of fork on target it always shoots to the right ...up and down is good..just always shoots to the right....???

😍😍😍

What distance

Love your videos brother, LOL

you talk a lot of sense , subbed u bro hello from the uk

It's done too late, Mr. Vandal! I bought it. But thanks for thinking if me.

It is not the frame that makes the shooter It is the shooter that makes the frame 😁

I bought accuracy LBS BABY!!!

that is a good catapult just because it cost 15$ it is all about doing the same thing every shot practice every chance you get

What are the fundamentals?

where did you buy your slingshot? could you share the link?

20-20 taper!.. Thais not tapered....

Great advice...just curious if the simpleshot XT clips fit on the chinese copy?

Start with a cheap slingshot.

Not going to buy accuracy. Gonna’ buy ‘cool’. It’s a minor hobby. No sweat.

Wel man, this is so true. The only PROBLEM IS people, cant handel the truth. They all think the more money you throw at something, the better they will be. Theirs NOTHING, that will make them shoot better, than good old practice. Their ALL after instant gratification.

ok ok congratulations but i ask you..............which are the foundamentals for beginners shooters slingshot thanks(i buy 1 slingshot on wish for 4 or 5 euro)

Get some brofiger.

I compare it to golf clubs... Buying the most expensive golf clubs is not going to make you the best golfer!!!

You can buy inaccuracy, a shitty slingshot is shitty.
