Well, I put up a vid of a fellow named Philly who hit 14 in a row at 10M w/ bbs, he missed a couple after that but came out with I think 18 for 20 , In my thought , that s great can accuracy. But who know what would happen if he was shooting a 40 mm,,,, I think you have to "work at it" more than most,including me to hit a 40 like Ambrocious 35 times in a row, dont want to work, I already got a job lol
Defining slingshot accuracy
Just what is accurate shooting? To a hunter, a head shot on a squirrel, halfway up a tree, is accurate shooting. To a trick shot, consistently hitting a quarter, tossed in the air, is accurate shooting. To a tournament shooter, consistently hitting a 4" steel plate, at ten meters, might be accurate shooting. For me, consistently hitting a variety of targets, at unknown ranges, is accurate shooting. However, I think we need a standard of accuracy. The international agreed upon distance for slingshot competition is ten meters. The most obiquitous slingshot target is the pop can. So, I say consistently hitting pop cans, at ten meters, is accurate shooting. What do you think?

I was told , and its proving true, if you want to get more accurate , shoot small too. Im shooting little toy army men, when you go back to shooting cans {my favorite} the cans seem to have got way bigger lol for realI changed my mind. Maybe we should lower accuracy requirements by one can from what I wrote above. So, as another poster wrote, the start of good accuracy would be 6 cans out of 10. That would be more realistic for people with limited practice time.
I would flub some, but Im working on itI think top accuracy requires form and an aiming process beyond instinctive. Consistent stance, draw, anchor, release and follow-through are a must. Once you have that down, developing a precise aiming method is a must. I just set up a can at 24 yards and hit it 5 shots in a row. I probably could have easily hit it 10 straight. I have consistent form, just like I was shooting a recurve, and I use the top of the fork as a sight. I place the fork tip in the same spot and hit the can each shot. You can easily do this at 10 meters and never miss a can.
, I hope for 10 for 10 soon, shooting smaller stuff to hopefully get to it. Im very impressed when someone can do it again and again, bbs or big steel
With that defination GKJ , GZK etc , are not shooting accurately , everybody misses,When I hit what I am aiming at whatever the distance then I am shooting accurately. That's my definition.
