Powerful shooting that Wayne, Im having a spot of bother shooting 11nm steel with the goblet evo. I've noticed that with certain animals i previously wasn't killing them with body shots with steel ammo so i am under the impression that the issue is i needed to max out my bands a tad more. Today ive been shooting 0.85 great white (i think it might be the 0.80 stuff) with them fully maxed out but the hand slap is proving very sore and disappointing when shooting at my makeshift catchbox. I do see a far better speed and i feel this is exactly how i ought to be shooting 11mm for effective kills head or body for longer ranges. Could you do a video please Wayne on this problem on how you counteract the hand slap. I have been trying to throw my hand forward with the momentum like a half second after i know the ball has passed through the forks to change the course of the return of the bands so i don't get slapped. Is this the only way this issue can be avoided in your opinion?
Hello mate. Forget body shots, it’s really head and neck shots only. Hand slap is a really individual thing, it can be caused by several things. Too much power being used, for the size of the ball being used, or your bands are too long. If your bands are completely maxed out, I would say go back to how they were and focus on practicing accuracy for head and neck shots only. It doesn’t matter the power you use with 11mm steel, body shots will never be reliable or humane in most instances.
Wayne I’m a teen and I bearly turned into a teen and I’m trying to take care of sum squirrels that been eating my corn and peaches I’ve been hitting them with my slingshot but I just can’t hit their head I only hit body shots and they don’t go down my slingshot has bands like ur bands but my slingshot isn’t like on of those metal one neither the ones that pros use my sling is just a fork i got from a tree it doesn’t have any like good grip or stuff like that if u see this can u give me any tips pls
@@CattyShackHunter I reckon you'd be a natural! It's mostly about constancy with your technique, and using the tip as reference, so there is some 'aiming' involved. I expect a lot of your gained technique would pass over nicely, ie, you're elbow positioning, smooth release etc👍 How's your lurcher getting on?
@@joshwilkinson947 Thank you. Yeah, sounds pretty much the same as the catapult! He’s doing good thank you, no problem with fur, but categorically will not touch feather.
@@CattyShackHunter Happy days mate 👍 can't beat beddy crosses. My beddywhippet has just had a litter, and I've got a beddy greyhound. It's not just yours, mine don't like how pigeon feathers seem to fall off in their mouth. The greyhound cross will do it, but regrets it after! Hopefully I'll get more this year with my Goblet Evo, hoping to upgrade to the metal one by the end of the season 👍
@@joshwilkinson947 mine won’t touch any feather, no matter what bird. Neither would my previous two though, so it’s nothing new 😂 Cheers mate, sounds like a plan! 👍
Hi Wayne, quick question, should one expect skin penetration with a 9.5mm steel or lead on a squirrel (body shot)? I have been getting successful kill shots on small American red squirrels hitting the vital zone but wondering if I'm doing something wrong since there is usually no entry wound.. thanks for any expert advice !!
No, it’s very rare to pierce the fur layer of a Squirrel on the body (piercing on the head is normal) What usually happens is the ball creates a hole in the skin layer, underneath the outer fur layer of the animal, as if the ball had passed through…but it hasn’t. Mass internal damage, but seemingly nothing from the exterior.
@@CattyShackHunter Great thanks Wayne, I was about to give up hunting them as I didn't think they were ethical clean kills without penetration (although they died in short order). Now that makes sense since when I clean them they have massive blood and damage to the vitals in spite of no entry wound. Thanks again!
Quality shooting, that sound on the hits is awesome 😁
Lets be fair, with those bands and 11mm lead, even that second shot that missed would still be a dead rabbit/pheasant.
Exactly that mate, that’s why I use the heavier set-ups. You can be a little bit off, and still make a clean kill.
Absolute cracking couple of shots. Your videos have inspired me to get back into the sport.
Ridiculous accuracy, fair play
Cheers Ste 👍
The sound of them hits 😮
Got some wallop! 💪🏻👍
When a man is that acurate with setup that heavy- you know he lifts. haha
😂😂😂👍👍
Bang on the Money,,
Thank you Squire 👍
@@CattyShackHunter 💥🍻
Nailed it! That frame is on my list.

Amazing wayne....just cant believe someone can be that accurate mate....well done sausage lol👏👏👏👏👏👍
Haha! Cheers bud 👍
Great shooting. Love the sound of the hit.
Thank you mate 👍
Excellent shooting Wayne 👍🏻
Cheers Simon 👍
I would say, that answer is Yes 👏👍
🤘🎯
Haha! Cheers Janne 👍
Class shots as always 🙂
Thanks Ed 👍
They got some power they bands. If your shot strayed a little it'll still be dead hey!!
How the hell can you even see those coins from that distance? Must be all those carrots you steal from the farmers field. lol.
😂😂😂
Great channel Sir. I'm new to the slingshot world and will be watching your videos with great interest.
Thank you Shaun, and welcome! Countless hours of fun to be had with slingshots! 👍

@@CattyShackHunter thanks for the reply Wayne, I'll need to practise more with my catch box. Cheers 👍
Fantastic. Hope the hunt was successful
Thank you. Yes, bagged a pigeon, picked some wild pears, and am making dinner! Pics will be up on my Instagram page later 👍
Very nice. How many mm is the tape?
Thank you. 17.5cm for an 81cm draw length.
That’s crazy that’s better than I can do with hw100

Literally can't understand how you're that accurate! Do you do any instinctive bow shooting?
Thank you mate. No none at all, but this isn’t really instinctive shooting, you can aim a catapult…to a certain extent.
