    Ive been shooting for a few months now figuring out what setup and shooting style works for me. Im 18 years old now but ive wanted a slingshot since I was 9. Never could get one till I moved out of New Jersey. Now I live in Okc and have been shooting everyday. Ive become slightly obsessed with...

    Hi all, I’ve been shooting for about 3 years and average around 50% on a 40mm spinner after I’m warmed up. I practice from 10m most of the time. What are some good exercises / tips for improving accuracy? Thanks in advance, Wes Mitchell

    Hi, all! Since I’ve been back to shooting, my personal best is 8/10 shots on a 60mm spinner (from 10m away). I’ve done that three separate times in the past couple of days. But when I switch to a 40mm spinner, all heck breaks loose. My hit percentage drops drastically (~40-50%), and that’s just...

    Hey Folks, I shoot OTT and vertical. I have noticed, in order to make the 2 bands overlap, the top band "covers" the bottom band when shooting ,I have to tilt the top fork tip to the right, but by doing this, the 2 forks are not perfectly "vertical" any more. Interestingly enough, this doesn't...

    Happy Sunday fellow slingshot lovers! I hope you are having a great day. I'm very new to this. I did my homework online. And I ordered a simple shot scout LT online, just placed the order. Now, I also would like to shoot tubes because it lasts longer. Maybe 1mm thick flat bands last just as...

    Thanks so much for having me. I'm pretty much a novice. I have a daisy powerline model I bought from walmart. I have had some practice with it as I also owned one before. I was really hoping someone could give me tips on mods for better accuracy, and faster firing. I was thinking I should mod...

    [i feel like alot of people overlook the blogs, which are loaded with tons of good tips and info from people that are worth listening to. I thought I'd put this out there, it's from Tex's blog and it should be the twenty commandments. Pop Shot] The key word in becoming a great shooter is...

    Well some of us spoke last week about strike any where matches, and their unavailability here in nanny territory... so thought id have a crack at putting out a candle, this was my first try, and after a couple of very close shots I got it.. about 20m or 60 odd ft, single theraband gold, and...

    I'm starting to itch all over from competition withdrawl! The best time you can have with a slingshot is shooting with some friends and that always leads to "I bet I can hit that over there" or I can hit that more times than you can" wether spoken or not. Well, I don't have any local friends to...

  13. The Art of Shooting
    i have been experimenting with many shapes of traditional/non-traditional slingshots, pretty much any shape and material the question is... if one design is superior to another why aren't we all using the same exact shape and design if one is inherently more accurate than others? 1)the myth...

    I'll apologize before hand for the poor formatting of this post, but I'm in a bit of a hurry. Does anybody know of an inexpensive, effective way to make a sight for a wrist-braced slingshot? I have a Marksman 3061, and it shoots nicely, but I prefer a greater degree of accuracy only attainable...

    Hello everyone, I have a question but I fear that it might ruffle some feathers. It is not intended as a slight on any personal preference so please don't take it that way. I have been doing a lot of reading about various slingshot systems from types of frames, bands, pouches, and ammunition...
