I'll have to go over the glossary. Seems we have to add a few additions!

Thanks Flatband.

If you private-message me when you have updated the glossary, I'll check whether I have time currently to put it into alphabetical order, if you don't want to do that. I can't promise anything though.

Ok Bud!

Don't think I saw this, ignore this post if it's already included.

Plinking - informal shooting, typically at non-standard targets such as cans, logs, bottles, or other homemade or naturally occurring targets.

Very good information, Thanks for posting this. It's a great reference for new shooters as well as "old" shooters who just need to brush up on the terminology

I looked through this terminology post, but did not see what we call Pitch and Yaw? Unless I missed it. Apparently "Canting" = Roll (and so I have been misusing the term up until now). I suspect I have a problem with Pitch; ie, when the slingshot is held gangsta, the top fork might be a scootch closer or further away from the target than the bottom fork, from shot to shot. Folks have advised me to use a mirror or a video to check, but I would like to know what this error is called, now that I figured out that's not canting.

If we dump "vertical" axis and call it "perpendicular" (to the slingshot), then this should be "yaw"?

I never heard a slang word for a fork not held perpendicular to the ground or one for a fork tilted a bit backwards or forwards. The only one I know of is Cant. I guess we could take from the airplane lingo and use Yaw-Roll.

I can't shoot any of my slingshots without a bit of cant ...

Archers have been using the same word for years for people who lean their bow while aiming and shooting.

A right handed archer (bow in left hand) typically tips the upper limb to the right.

It seems to me that if a slingshot is held full gangsta, that is 90 degrees cant. But then if, as the OP described, the line between the upper and lower fork is not at right angles to the shooter's line of sight, that sounds like yaw to me, from the airplane analogy.

May have missed it in the awesome list you made but what is LBS, OPFS, OLBS, etc. I know PFS is pickle fork but some of the other abbreviations I'm lost lol.

To prevent the arrow from falling to the left, off the hand, I guess.
