Today I nailed it dead center. One shot. (Only 1 shot).

I had a great teacher.

Now you're going to have to find some flat rocks to skip shoot it

You know it's funny, I've been shooting slingshots since March of this year and I have never shot a can or paper? Spinners seem like the obvious choice for increasing accuracy and getting better. I might have to try shooting a can soon. Just hard for me to go to a can when it's so much bigger than my spinners.

I will. But get a little more consistency first.

Definitely give cans a try Vince, cut my first ever yesterday and it was so rewarding smacking that can senseless, lol

Vince, Spinners can be hard to tell where you are missing. Paper gives you the advantage to analyze the grouping and see the splatter of your consistency. If you are nailing the 30mm spinner every time, then it is a mute point and don't worry about paper.

Shooting cans is more than just hitting a can. Yes, they are larger than a spinner, but after a few shots into it, you get the feeling that you are doing surgery with a slingshot and picking out specs on the can to aim for. It takes good aim to cut the edges and separate the top from bottom. Of course there are a few tricks, but can shooting is a great skill builder. Oh and once the can is cut, turn it so you can aim at the top. Now cut the top out of the can.
