Very impressive shooting - what is your preferred slingshot for target shooting in competition ? is it like the one in your avatar picture ? what is that ?
I just ordered some 8mm steel balls thinking they were small but 6.3mm is really small !!!!
Thanks.
Eric.
For competition, I always use my Spanish style slingshots.
The last one I've been using lately is this, which I introduced some months ago, the one featuring in my avatar

As I explained in previous post, the fact I used my Targa in this video is because if I used my Spanish frames all year long it'd become boring for me.
Due to coronavirus there are not tournaments ahead, and that gives me room for trying out different frames I had taking dust.
Mastering a Spanish frame requires a lot of time but it's by far the one I have gotten best results with in the world cup.
1/4" or 6'3mm ammo also is difficult in itself.
Requires having very thin fingers otherwise it's impossible to handle, but the advantage is you need very very light bands, and that allows you to stay aiming longer, which in the end, improves accuracy. It's a chain effect.
Very nice shooting! I I am impressed how Rock Solid you are when you shoot. It is like your body is completely Frozen through the entire shot no moving at all?! Very nice.
great shooting...love your preshot routine
Thanks for the compliments guys, mastering the technique has taken years, and in my opinion, breathing is key.
It's very similar technique used in recurve archery (olympics).
A shot routine can basically be broken down in seven basic stages.
1. Stance check
2. Bearing placement inside pouch/ Nock it in
3. Anchor
4. Draw
5. Aim
6. Release
7. Follow-through
