been playing with this style for a couple years,off and on,finger positioning is the difficult part for me-arthritis-but it is a lot of fun,and a simple EDC,i'll keep trying ,

 

[skarrd]

so after watching some youtube vids,from some chinese shooters and one from a slinger named Volp,i have found a different anchoring system,instead of trying to bring the tubes over the fingernails,i tried it their way of over the knuckle and ball of the thumb,much more comforatable for my Old fingers,in the pics that is a string,no one here to take pics but me and the dogs,and they all pointed out that they did not have thumbs,so had to hold tension with teeth,LOL! i think this might work out very well

Yep, that's how I hold frameless also skarrd

yep,that over the fingernails/crooked fingers is a no go for these old hand bones

current line up,117's for BBs,1745[/?] and green mysterys [from Amazon] for 3/8s steels and clays

Awesome thread Chef! I too enjoy frameless. I shoot 1632s sleeved up with paracord just to give it a look and to protect the bands a Lil from the elements. I shoot mine with my pointer finger and thumb forming like an "O." I shoot standard draw or full albatross/butter. Here's an old video of mine:

Want to give a big Thanks to you my friend for showing how you form your*frame* i tried doing the Q finger position [with the BB shooter] and it works Very well for my old arthritic fingers,accuracy improved as well/Thanks For sharing it

 

[skarrd]

meant *O* lol

 

[skarrd]

still getting the occasional * fork hit* when using 3/8s steel,but 5/16ths and under are no prob,actually hitting the target pretty consistantly at 20 feet,

 

[skarrd]

with this setup,green mysterys at 16 inches

 

[skarrd]

yeah,i find that as long as i twist-no *fork* hits-when i lose concentration [or get lazy] Bam! just have to practice when the womans not talking to me LOL

 

[skarrd]

moving up from 1/4 inch steel to 3/8s clay,no *fork*hits yet,and starting to fall into the muscle memory aspect of the Dark Art.the only thing about Frameless is other than the paracord protector,there is no decorative aspect ,but it does appeal to a simpler more primal side of shooting.

 

[skarrd]

not ready to try hunting,frameless.yetbut hopefully soon as the pecan tree has a Bunch of podlings and the squirells will be out and about

 

[skarrd]

interesting concept,hows it shoot?

 

[skarrd]

very cool! this is now on my list of trys! love the comment *tighter than a nuns corset*.Thanks Brother!

 

[skarrd]

nursing a *fork hit* i dont know what it is about the 3/8s steels,i dont have a problem with 3/8s clays or any of the smaller steels 5/16,1/4,or BBs,but 3/8s steels i always end up with at least one [or in this case 3] fork hits and only with the green 1842s,the 1632s no fork hits even with 1/2 in,gonna try some different pouches,but i am open to any info thats out there,i shoot from an ear anchor,Thanks

 

[skarrd]

you may be on it,i used to use 2040s and only had a couple hits,,will try it out,i still have some 2040 in the fridge Thanks again

 

[skarrd]

Finally got the trick,a little *bump* to the pouch-no fork/frame hits with 3/8s steels-over 150 shots,release is getting better as well,more hits per shots

 

[skarrd]

this was from the other day,red 1745s,and green 1842s,14 inch length[?] 3/8s steels,very 1st frameless can cut

 

[skarrd]

Thanks! its been a Long time coming,but the light finally came on

 

[skarrd]

I started with 117b office bands and 6mm ammo, but I use two pouches and find that it helps me center everything up. J5 was using that system when I started, don't know if he still does.

thats how i do it with flats,tubes just one long piece

 

[skarrd]

I'm makin that video tonight lol, it'll be in a new thread (In case its deemed worthy of a Pin) for those interested!
