So today I took the Scout XT and the D&Q down to the 28 foot basement range.
I have the Scout set up with some .070 green band material and a GZK pouch I received from raventree78. The active band length is about 10.5 inches so it draws easily to 3/4 butterfly and I am shooting fairly well that way.
Today I was targeting the teaspoon spinner and getting maybe 3 or 4 hits per 10 shots and most of my misses seemed to be very close. I'm pretty happy with that as tomorrow will be the 1 month anniversary of my starting to shoot slingshots.
So after shooting the Scout 3/4 butterfly for awhile I decided to switch to the D&Q that is set up with the black SimpleShot bands and a SuperSure Roo pouch with an active band length of about 9.5 inches. My normal anchor point for this setup is my earlobe, but without even thinking I started going 3/4 butterfly with this setup also. And was actually shooting pretty darn good!!
When I first started shooting the Black SimpleShot bands they seemed much harder to pull than the bands that came with the D&Q and I was getting quite a bit of hand shake using the earlobe anchor point, but I must be getting stronger as the hand shake seems to be much less now, however going 3/4 butterfly did bring back some hand shake.
Overall I am happy with my progress so far. I am sure If I keep shooting pretty much every day as I have been I will keep getting better and stronger. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get a range set up outdoors to shoot a full 10 meters and longer!
