I got up at 6:00 am this morning, drank a cup of coffee and ate a
Myoplex bar and went out to my back yard, set up my target and backdrop
to catch my bb's.
After 9 hours and 45 minutes of shooting ( minus a lunch break) various sling shots I went through
15 pounds of 3/8" steel ammo. I shot about a third of it with my King Cat and
the rest with sling shots I got from Flatband, A+, Tex-Shooter, Bunny Buster,
and Chief AJ. I've spent so much time with my King Cat that I didn't realize how much
fun shooting these other GREAT sling shots could be. I had tons of fun and learned
a lot from trial and error. Different without the sights. I tried various aiming methods but
the instinctive method was great surprising as far as accuracy is concerned.
The sling shots: I shot 6 different SS's I've got from Flatband all good shooters with
2 of them being exceptional. There's something about Gary's SS's that just make me want
to just hold them in my hand. They are beautiful pieces of work, shoot great and feel great
in my hands. My favorite traditional style SS to date. Great work Gary!!!
I have a PS3 from Perry at A+ that I must admit at first I thought was too large for my
small hands but after 100 rounds or so I became very attached to this SS and found a comfortable
hand hold that worked well. Love the hole at the bottom for my pinkie. Amazingly accurate.
Hats off to you Perry for a great sling shot!!!
I have a Bunny Buster from Tom. I shot it around a 100 or so shots and it too was
a great shooter. Felt good in my hand. The bands felt different than any others I've used
but shot well. Another quality piece that shoots great. Good job Tom!!!
Another great shooter was a Falcon I got from Tex Shooter. Probably the most accurate of the day
for a non-sighted SS. His bands have to be some of the best out there. Very comfortable in the hand
and after several hundred shots I had no discomfort in my hand/wrist areas. I can really nail the target
with this SS. Thanks Tex!!!
Last but certainly not least was Chief AJ's Top Shot model with red bands. Top 3 as far as accuracy but
this might not be a fair statement being I shot it at the end of the day and fatique was starting to become a factor.
Very light weight and quick to draw back to anchor point. Probably the best feeling band as far as strength
for all day shooting. Very simple SS that's very effective. Good work here Chief!!!
The beginning of the day was several hundred shots with my King Cat. The most awesome and well put together SS
on the planet. Craftsmanship is off the charts. Accuracy with the sighting system is second to none if you have the patience
to play with it to get it set-up correctly for your shooting style. My tournament shooter for sure. I have some long distance sights
that Jack sent me to play with for longer distances. I plan on mounting the sights tomorrow for a test run. After tomorrow
I'm taking several days off. I'm really feeling it right now from TONS of shooting pratice and fun today.
Odered a SS from Jim Harris yesterday. Can't wait to try that beauty out. I picked cherry as my wood choice.
This is a very addictive sport and very fun. I can't thank Jack Koehler and Gary Miller enough for all their help and guidance.
I've bought most of my SS's from Gary and he's a first class individual to deal with. He's been very good to me from the get go.
If you're not out there shooting your sling shots, you're missing out on some serious FUN folks.
Hope you've enjoyed this write-up as much as I've enjoyed sharing it.
Get out there and shoot!!!
