Ya, you heard it right, I put most of my shots at about 30 yds or so in the local area of where I'm aiming. I'm much, much better than I was a few years ago for sure but nothing like the shooters most of you guys are.
I was out shooting today and most of the shots are in about a foot+ square at around the 28 yard area, sometimes I hit but most often it is a miss, but not a huge miss. I would say that if a Starling landed where I was shooting he would be in danger of me hitting him, but it is not a sure thing :- )
I can say that I have been trying to work on my anchor point just behind my ear lobe and just barely touching it with the tip of my middle finger which greatly keeps the highs and lows down and the draw length consistent. I also don't hold very long as I don't want to loose power in the elastic by holding and aiming. For a pure target shooter that does not matter much, but for a guy that messes around and sometimes uses his sling for pest situations, I would rather work on accuracy and being able to get the shot off reasonably fast.
I'm heading out in the am tomorrow just to work on my hold while trying to be more constant. I will be shooting BB's as they are cheap as heck, fly very fast and a BB sling is easy to pull back using light single tubes.
