[THWACK!]

I've been shooting TTF for quite a while now, having tried OTT and not caring for it.

Yesterday I gave OTT another try, and POW!, I'm much more accurate and consistent with it. Darn, so much lost time - and yes, at times I lost my marbles...

Well, it's a good thing that I'm retired, and the LIW (live-in-woman) doesn't bother me (I think I convinced her that I can't hear her - when in reality, when it comes to her, I use selective listening, but even then, not often) - because I'm going to spend my time converting as many of my slingshots (about 34) as possible to OTT.

Who wudda thunk it?

Enjoy!

THWACK!

Oh yeah, OTT ROCKS!

Always be a TTF man at heart but I shoot ALOT of OTT and would say for general everyday shooting OTT is better. Most pocket sized frames are OTT and it also allows for smooth instinct shooing and aerials which would otherwise be very difficult if not impossible in TTF!

Naw..no conversion..You obviously need 20 more slings. It's the only answer.

But there's no room, no storage, no space, no nada for more slingshots. Need I sell my five ukuleles, four guitars, two violins, dozen or so harmonicas, dozen or so Mora knives, half a dozen pennywhistles/tinwhistles, hundreds of books, things that go "bang", things that don't go bang (blowgun), etc....

...well maybe...

Enjoy!

THWACK!

Your Ray Mears quote is along the lines of Henry David Thoreau's - He said something to the effect that one shouldn't "rough it" just for the sake of roughness.

Ah, this post made me smile.

Well learned and a bit mischievous is my vein, too.

I wqs a dedicated TTF shooter for 30 plus years...I shoot my 1st OTT ( a pfs actually) and made a bull's eye the first shot...several months later I made another bull and was hooked into OTT.

The big change was relearning instinctive (I learned and ahot as kid) instead of aiming. I want to be both styles...but that just ain't so any more.

BPChef is definitely both.

Welcome to the dark side, where the cool people hang out!

Maybe you can convert a couple of your ukuleles to shoot over the top? Just spitballin here...

Ask yourself, " How much furniture do I Really need? It takes a lot of space." :lol:
