How do you AIM your slingshot ?

Looks good to me. I think for OTT, most of us use your version.

It depends on the slingshot, with a wide gap on the forks like the old wrist rocket's, I aim between the forks and adjust the height for distance. I use the same anchor point when shooting that style, no matter what fork, but for me, at 20 yards, a 4" fork width is dead on. Different width forks give you different aim points. I usually shoot instinctive with a floating anchor, partial to full butterfly.

I shoot slightly high and to the right so I put my fork corner at the 7 o'clock position of the target. The same Idea though, use that corner as your reference and adjust from there. Try using a piece of paper and just draw a simple dot. Shoot 5 shots at the dot. Even if you miss the dot, don't adjust your aim point until you are done with the 5 shots, always shoot at the dot in the same way. Take a look at your grouping and adjust your aiming point. If your group is not consistent then you just need more shooting time. If your grouping is all low, high, left, or right, you can make adjustments.

With gappers OTT top corner. With PFS I tend to use projection aiming sighting with the bands

A new movie from GZK that shows the importance of knowing your comfortable fork width.

Great posts guys - really appreciate the info ! Thx Reed for the video ... I found another from a GZK shooter that is really helpful - for me, I'm mostly going to be an indoor shooter, so I like the idea of the fiberoptic aiming systems - will have to look into that --->

Top corner in general for me. But depends on the frame. I have one that shoots high right. One just high. One just right. A couple bang on.

Some people adjust their anchor. But I find that adds a whole laundry list of problems for me. I just use the same anchor and move my reference point.

Shooting butterfly adding any variance into my anchor, that already took ages to build the muscle memory for, just messes up my consistency completely. But just moving my reference to suit the slingshot in hand is fine.

I will say though if I had a slingshot that shot low I'd probably adjust my anchor for that one. Thankfully I don't.

As a fairly new shooter, I'm still experimenting & working through what aiming point works best for me. I'm experimenting with OTT & TTF slingshots (I shoot horizontal).. I like the crisp 90° top corner sight picture with OTT so far. I'd love to hear how the more experienced shooters here sight their slingshots ... I'm sure there are many different ways - just want to explore all the options that work for other folks. Many thanks - here's a pic of the sight picture that seems to work best for me ---->

Same for me... I think...?

Been just doing instinctive but I think my hanfmd-eye-lizard brain is seeing that sight picture... but my focus is on the target. If I think/ aim too much it all gets wonky.
