Tonight, I had my phone in my overall bibs, talkin with my brother while I hung a light behind my sheet in my target catchbox.(which is actually an old curio cabinet) so I can see my hits more easily at night.

I sprayed my stencil and hung it, still putterin and jawin at my brother, ..then I let one fly whilst in mid-sentence and ended that sentence with a common, happy, expletive! "Holy $***!"

Not skill.
Absolute luck.
..But that one shot made me feel like the king of my own mountain this evening.

I just wanted to share it with some folks who share my slingshot crazy.

..can I get an amen?

Beautiful! That feeling is what keeps us enthusiastic about the sport. When life is getting you down, the subtle thup of a paper target, or the loud bash of a can getting annihilated really brings up the mood. Thanks for sharing!

Man.. You got that right, sir.

Honestly, the shooting part is mostly a meditation for me. Oddly, very much like playing guitar or riding a motorcycle for me. ..when I'm doing it right, it makes time go away. I don't put too much pressure on myself, although, I am always looking for improvement in myself and my hobby of making stuff.

Those are the days of slingshot heaven.
Word! ..im literally going to put it in a frame for myself. Ha! I'll probably never hit a bullseye on a virgin target again if I live another 55 years.

Excellent idea, looking at it on dull grey days it will definitely cheer you up

Welcome to the Forum! That is a great way to start a thread I must say. My wife says that men are wired through their our ego departments. All I know is that when I hit what I am looking at I get a rush in the back of my brain that tells me that I am good at this thing. If I miss what I am shooting at then the other half of my brain is very quick to remind me that I am still good at this thing and to just keep going. Other parts of my life aren't so simple which is why the slingshot wins no matter what.

That is an awesome shot, that is the best feeling. Welcome to the form and by the way that is an amazing and cool slingshot.

I did the same thing with a new silicone spinner I made that had a little suction cup hole in the very center my first shot went straight in and ammo got stuck inside the hole! I left that Ammo there to remind myself that I can shoot well with the right Focus.

Cheers
