Hello

In quest for more accuracy, I was experimenting with litepipe color sight. These are used on shotgun. They work great on slingshot and you will be able to see your reference point better.

What I done for an OTT slingshot, This will work too for TTF:

1- cut one litepipe in half

2- used crazy glue and attach it to the tip of my slingshot

3- It did give a better reference sight.

I got these sight from https://www.hivizsights.com/product/litewave-compsight-replacement-litepipe/

I've been using fiber optic sights on my slingshots for many months. I use fiber optics with my shotgun, handguns and paintball rifles before I got into slingshots. I really do like the fiber-optic for me when I make a homemade slingshot I can grind just the very corner off and then super glue the fiber-optic on. I then put some five minute epoxy over the whole thing to seal it in so it won't move or get knocked off.

All that being said, I have made my mini shooter that fits in the palm of your hand and did not add a fiber optic to it. What I did instead was on the wood mini shooter I made a very sharp corner and then took a Sharpie and highlighted the very edge and tip of the slingshot. This gave me a great reference point that stood out for shooting.

I only shoot two slingshots, my mini shooter and my D1 titanium slingshot. One with fiber optic one without and they both shoot just as good and just as accurately.

I really think it comes down to having either a very sharp corner or something for your eye to really draw to like a fiber optics.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

I ordered a variety pack of them off of Amazon for 10 bucks. Just for fun. We’ll see what happens. I usually don’t have an issue unless I’m using black bands on my black frame shooting at my black catchbox. It might definitely help there.
