    Good video Keith mate. I'm shooting quite well but every now and again I get a shot going an inch or so higher than the target and could never work out why.... after watching this I'm assuming my bottom fork is slightly further forward than the top. Something to keep an eye on. Great tip. Cheers fella and happy shooting

    • @keithdighton
      @keithdighton  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No problem rob, yes I would say that's what your doing. If your bottom band is retracting faster then it will force the ammo up.
      Ita quite important to get the forks level!

    The forks aren’t perpendicular to the target. They are parallel to the target and perpendicular to the ground.

    As a right handed person which hand would you recommend my catty is in? ... I've just got a wasp starter kit and have been shooting with my frame in my right hand ???

    • @keithdighton
      @keithdighton  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      totally depends on what is your dominant eye is andy, if your left eye dominant you want to be holding in your right hand and if your right eye dominant you hold in your left and like me.
      if your sat down, point at a small target with both eyes open. then close your left eye while still pointing. if your finnger is still on the target your left eye dominant if its not then you are right eye. simple!

    Hi Keith me again,
    Have you ever known this,changed bands yesterday and started shooting groups like a champion,couldn't believe it,only when I checked my bands I'd put ttf on my ott,how the hell does that work!

    • @keithdighton
      @keithdighton  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      if your shooting well like that then keep doing it! i know several people who tie ott bandsets on ttf frames and vice versa. you may be getting a rifling effect on the ball on release and if its working dont change it as we are all different
