I agree im looking a new skill due to my health and this kills time ive been following the steps as per the previous vid and they have improved me slightly time and practice is key but its such an underrated hobby
Got my first slingshot about a week ago. I couldn't hit anything first few days. Today something clicked and I'm hitting targets left and right. This video definitely helped. Thank you!
Exactly!....I played around with at least 3 slingshots as a kid, never knowing how to aim them correctly (pre-internet), and now in the space of 3 days I can hit a 3 inch target at 20 feet 85% of the time. Way cool.
🎯Awesome, glad i stumbled across this video! Nice job to show the different angles to show the proper technique for shooting and aiming! Thanks for sharing!
I never get tired of watching this video, you are the best. I adopted his style and I get along very well, it has improved my accuracy a lot. Thank you.👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
El mejor video que he visto sobre cómo dispara con un tirachinas. Clarísimo, fácil de entender y lo más dificil: logras muestrar el proceso a seguir de una manera facilísima de entender. Gracias por regalarnos tu conocimiento. Eres muy generoso. Felicitaciones
This is by far the best video I've seen on how to aim, line up the shot and release. It even shows the slight variances that happen when you move a little bit in the slow motion. Very encouraging and makes me want to get out and shoot. During this pandemic it will be a good break from staying inside. 👍🏾
Excellent - learned more from this video than all other slingshot and archery videos combined - and I have watched a bunch of slingshot and archery videos! Keep up the good work, mate!
Thank you for making this video. I wish You Tube had of been around back in the late 80s and 90s when I was doing archery. The same fundamentals work for either the catapult or a traditional English Longbow. I was fortunate enough to win five belt buckles from the Texas state long bowl championship. Are used to hunt small game with a catapult when I was growing up I think after watching your videos I’m getting back into it.
Just started again after doing as a kid. I find comfort wise that holding the sling shot at 45 degrees, and using the top tip of the fork as a aiming guide seems to be working for me...can u think of any disadvantages of that position. I am assuming that the "up and down" adjustment will be off, meaning not along the Y axis so to speak but more at an angle...but i have found in the past..using the fundamentals and developing good habits in the beginning is probably best.
Mate ive been watching your channel for a long time now and you have been Key in improving my technique! I have to say this vid is such a great POV vid! Every post you put up I jump on it straight away! With slingshot ive noticed you never stop learning new things & ive been shooting (daily) for around 5yrs! I thank you my freind & Gamekeeper for helping my son (10) and I for your posts! Well done! Top stuff
I am a Beginner, and this Video was really Helpfull, i will try tomorrow after Work, on a Place, where I placed a little Stone on a Branch of a Tree, and try to aim again, my first Try Today was 3 Hits of 30 Shots and I am proud of this, because that was my first try ever to shot a Slingshot^^ Thank You, i will Test it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you notice he also blinks before every shot to clear his eye so it focus in on target perfectly and of course blink after cuse it's natural response to anything moving fast and making a noise near your eye.
Best VID I've seen anywhere on how to aim for newbies. My boys are so fired up now to get outdoors and do some shooting. Maybe in a future vid you could demo round bands. Big box stores typically sell round bands which is therefore what newbies typically start with.
Thank you. I recently pick up a slingshot for the first time since I was a kid. I was excellent then but I had forgotten how to properly shoot. Now the aggressive stray dogs will leave us alone.
Hi Chris just want to say a big thank u for inspiring me to take up catapulting. Iv watched all your TH-cam videos and think there ace and learned a lot only been catapulting a week but I'm hitting cans at 13meters well not all the time but I'm getting better
Great video.. your the slingshot savage! My good old trusty custom has heavy tubing and I use marbles since the weight n size r perfect plus I get about 50 for a dollar 😉 but now I was gifted a real beauty with flat hand and my world has changed and I'm having trouble finding that perfect ammo 🤔 any suggestions mate? I would hate to go and mess around with different bands 🤫 that's for later but for now I'd like to get the most outta these light bands with the small pouches
Brilliant video this guy is a true sling shot PRO ive watched alot of he's Instructionals about catapult slingshots ammo sizes n bands and taper measurements. I also watch an English guy called gamekeeper John his slingshot designs are ace I can't be sure but I think he has one called the WASP if so then I'm intending on getting it to start my slingshot hobby....I followed EV ones advice about making my own so I found an awesome sturdy forked branch moy sure what type o wood it is but I cut it to decent size that fits my hand. I microwaved it as recommended. I didn't strip bark off I like it with bark still on I not sure if that's bad idea but it looks good. I cut grooves around on circumference abround to receive my string to attach my flat tapered band 20 to 15..….I made my own pouch which is so hard core huge pouch compared to normal pouches out of leather from old belt I owned....I followed instructions as taught for OVER the TOP set up.....whallaaah my first slingshot I made.....I was well pleased but I didn't have 8 mm sized ball ammo n didn't want steel due to tebpimd danger in close quarter ie my room...I picked up small stones n set up target cautiously to catch everything I'm old teashirts n t towels backdrops ...it is awesome o was very impressed even though I fiddled with trying to attach bands to my pouch.... I had rubbish bands I found from yoga fitness dept I'm shop on floor so quality band questionable.... I'm future I hope get green gzk bands....this was my first attempt making slingshot as adult lol.....last year I stumbled upon blow dart gun channel and I was amazed how easy it was when I copied there advice now I have about 5 blowpipes various calibers n various darts n various material pipes ...my fave is 3 ft PVC pipe I found building site no rust or inner seam my ammo 2 types target rounds are bar b que scewers wooden can be sharpened if blunt flies very quick m decent penetration easily take small game in emergency ie squirrel burgers lol and other ammo darts are metal carpet TAKS and I use paper from lottery ticket to form a flight cone with sticky tape that's all nothing else u be so surprised that thing penetrates n sticks deep into concrete I get good pass throughs of two orange juice cartons...
Hello Chris .you could knock the balls of a fly...,while it's flying....a question do you follow the band's as line or the tip of the slingshot.? Thanks in advance.
I guess you just have to find what works best for you and you enjoy most. I have just recently become interested again in slingshots. I had great fun with a hand-carved tree branch with surgical tubing bands my dad made for me some 65 yrs ago. I am 76 yrs now. I shot instinctively of course and still think that's the way I would prefer to shoot though my sling has a sight. My mistake is getting a sling with bands almost too strong for this old man! Maybe they will loosen up some. Advice welcome.
Mine shoots way to the right of where im aiming? Like at 0:28 exactly where you're lined up, looks the exact same to me, but my steel ball would most likely not even hit the entire box you have, it would go into the bush almost halfway between the target and the blue barrel target... Its not where im anchoring either, as I've moved my anchor point and SWEAR that the bands are angled INWARDS, and yet my ball STILL goes to the right.
Dude you’re awesome for this video Me and my nephew just bought a couple for shits and giggles and we started to figure it out and we were very close thank you for helping us dial this in
I’m aiming my Hammer XT wrong I know, yet I hit the target sometimes. It’s almost like I naturally will the ball to the target when I just pull back and let it fly. I guess I’m doing some things right from winging it all these years yet I never have been properly trained.
Cheers, probably the best video for us newbs yet. I have to say your skill and accuracy is amazing. This country girl has pillaged the local trees, whittled them to a work of art and is awaiting thier cure. My fiance is a we bit jealous of the skills you have good sir and your deadly accuracy , so I kindly pat him with reassurance and tell him, some day you will be as good as that bloke across the pond.. But hurry up we are over run by wild rabbits here i the American Southwest!
Hands down best how to aim a slingshot video I’ve ever seen.

One of my biggest issues over the years was head tilt. Glad the videos could help 👍
Heads up!!!!
Ooh im shooting high aswell and think I tilt my head aswell.. Will try this thanks so much

Really a good demonstration about aiming with slingshots
Great video on explaining how to sun etc. what pouches do you use if you don’t mind me asking.
..darn good ,and v less ego.question , will a mudball be just equal impact, distance wise compared to steel balls.??
Late comment I know, but awesome vid mate, was looking for someone to just show how it's done without pointless talk and you did, subscribed.
Show, isso ajuda muito quem está começando, parabéns pela iniciativa. Brazil
Caramba o cara é mestre , desejo um dia chegar perto dusso pelo menos, parabéns voce é o melhor que pude ver em todos os tempos!
Another great video mate and to see it in shot rather than just explained
Must be that titan, bc my scout doesnt shoot that accurate 😉. Great video Chris..impressive shot. Very helpful

Great video Chris.. top class shooting mate 👌👌👌 love the look of them frames.....

Maybe in a future vid you could demo round bands. Big box stores typically sell round bands which is therefore what newbies typically start with.
Do you mean "tubes"? They're inaccurate (unless you are Chinese). Shoot with "flatbands", you'll do better, especially at first.
Good job. Nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent video man.Well put across...
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Sy sentiasa belajar apa yg baru tentang slingshot
Very VERY well doon. Learned a loot full - thank you!

Could I ask what catapult u prefer out of the TTF GZK-Hammer or John Webb's TTF-PPMG+ ?

Brilliant Chris very informative great helped me loads hitting targets a lot easier thnks your the best mate 💥💥💥💥👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks buddy glad it helped
This was extremely helpful Chris, thank you!
Never knew a catapults was so accurate!!!!!! Bloody Amazing 🤓
It’s not the rifle it’s the sniper !
I got a slingshot yesterday and couldn’t work out why I couldn’t hit anything. This improved my aim in 30 seconds.😊
I’ve always used the same anchor point and adjusted the fork. Never thought of adjusting the anchor point🤯. Guess what I’m experimenting with today👍🏼
Very effective and makes you a more versatile shooter
@@CatapultCarnage I bought this slingshot.plz give buying link and plz give reply.
Great video Chris 👍 wish that I could shoot like you. Experiencing fork strikes constantly.
@@daveo4005 maybe you could try an over the top catapult
@@bobl.1044 thanks Bob L, shooting much better since I tried OTT.
Hi, thank you for this video. What size ammo are you using in this video 3/8" / 10mm ? Also what distance 10 mtrs ?
Excellent sling shot 👌👌👌
Great vid
You’re a machine brother…..👍🏻🏁
Also what’s a good size tapper? I’m trying many but think less may be best.
Buen día caballero, una pregunta, Donde consigo tu tirachina, no la encuentro en Amazon, Aliexpress, Wish. Gracias y saludos desde Colombia.
