Dude just make a plywood one and use small ammo and go for it . Only way you learn . Everything you need know is in this pic View attachment 355329
Right on. I have one, actually a few now. And I’ve been tinkering with clay ammo. It’s really fun and I know, practice makes perfect. I have to build proper muscle memory and that only comes with experience. I just wanted to make sure I was using it the right way and didn’t have the dang thing upside down or something lol. This pic really helps. Thank you.

No, I hadn’t heard of him yet. I’ll check his channel out though. Yeah, I don’t know, there’s something about the darn thing for me. It’s super addicting! Fork hits with clay ammo are cool it just goes up in dust. I thought I’d peek down a new rabbit hole a tiny bit :p

Do you sight through your forks with a pfs? I always use the corner of the frame just like an ott. The only time I use the fork gap is if I hold the frame upright. That's the best place to start is upright in my opinion. Gangster style takes a bit more practice.

You've got the right idea. There's been some disagreement with that pic and where it actually came from.

My suggestion is to start with an easy to hold, simple frame like the OPFS, Spring Breaker, PFS60, Bone, Mule....etc. When y'all get comfortable with PFS then try the trickier frames like the Nibbler and others

I agree start with the easiest way possible then advance from there.

apart from pocketability, what are the advantages of PFS?
Beats me, they’re just fun! But absolutely not for beginners. You need to have form and release down or you’ll hurt yourself. People hunt with these things and everything. This is also how I react whenever I get into something new with slingshots 😂

Nice man have you shot it yet?
Oh yeah! I was using clay and got half a dozen fork hits and they just blew up in dust in front of me. Oh I already said that. No damage but I kinda even liked that! Lol. I also chucked some 3/8 through it. I’m not bad with clearing the slingshot, I just can’t hit anything past about 10 feet or so.
