Definitely a better option to make your own!!!
Only 8 mins in.
Already the best advice on honing your skills I've seen yet 👍🏻
Giving your secrets away??
Your a good bloke for sharing this, much appreciated Chris, cheers👍🏻
Be well stay free.
I've won everything I've ever wanted to win now so I'll share my "secrets" 😂
That was one of the best videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. I’ve never shot a slingshot and came upon your video by chance. 22:34 video in one take was just brilliant. Very informative and it has inspired me to have a go. Thanks very much!
you explain this so simply! My kiddo and I both improved our aim and form after this video
That's great I'm glad to have helped
Thanks Chris, really enjoyed your explanation. For me it’s one of the best tutorials on you tube. Nice work 👍🏼
Thank you buddy I'm glad you found it useful
I haven't shot a slingshot in about 30 years since I was at school, but a few years later in my teens, I got into archery for a while, until work commitments took over, but what you said about drawing and anchoring, all essential parts of archery technique, so I'm interested to see how much of that training I can carry over, and see what happens 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for the inspiration to look into trying something new 👍👍👍
Hi Chris , thanks very much for the detailed explanation and sharing your experience to help novices like myself. I have been shooting for a little less than a year and have had some success but I sometimes shoot high and left. Your video is the first one I came across that talked about head tilt and it changed my shooting dramatically for the better. I am currently shooting an Evo field pro OTT and finally I am getting more consistent with it. I tried your tips for the two stage anchor point and it is fantastic as well. ( now I just have to perfect my release.) 😁 Thanks again 👍
Hello Cris, I improved my shooting a lot after I saw you shooting, your posture, grip and anchoring are perfect for a high level of accuracy. Thank you very much for your work. 🇧🇷🤜🤛👏👏👏
This is the best video and the best advice I’ve seen yet on this subject. I’m new to shooting, been shooting about 3 weeks now, I can hit a can 3 out of 5 times at 30 feet. I get so frustrated at myself at times. But when I do I stop shooting for about an hour bc I don’t want to pick up bad habits through my frustration. Great video brother, thanks for your advice.
Ive seen so many tutorials, and in this video, even by only the first 4 minutes, i got what im looking for. Now my shoots never missed up until 30m. Thx a lot mate
This is perhaps the single BEST slingshot instructional video here on youtube 👍🏻👏🏻 Huge thanks for sharing this w/ the rest of us, Chris 🙏🏻 😀
This video helped me immensely. I get from 10% hit rate to 80%. All my shots did go consistently to right above. Turned out, I pulled the puoch closer to myself, when I tilted my head. Also I was not aware using my thumb to release the bullet. Focusing on more than one anchor point made me realize this.
Thanks. Very nice, relaxed, experienced... It almost felt like watching a meditation video... I am exaggerating, but I think, it is a very good video and a very sympathetic teacher!!!
I'm cross-dominant, right handed/left eye dominant. I discovered this after years of archery frustration. So I taught myself how to shoot left handed. Took about 5 sessions before I was shooting well with my left hand draw. It is so much easier to shoot with my dominant eye. I recommend this for everyone. What I'm trying to say is that if I can learn to shoot a bow with my "off hand", then anyone can learn to shoot a slingshot with their "off hand". Do it. It's worth it. Edit: by the way, I love the slingshot that I bought from you last year! Keep up the great work!
!! Me too - left handed/right eye dominant. I could never hit anything with a bat as a kid and with thumb "catapult"(slingshot) couldn't get any accuracy. Goodness what a revelation! !
As for switching - it shouldn't be a problem _ I drove a "stick shift" car in USA for many years changing gear with the other hand - it took about 2 weeks to get to not-thinking -about -it muscle memory (the pedals are the same thank God - lol)..then another 2 weeks to switch back when I returned to the UK.
Ive just ordered a starter kit from Wasp, so starting again with the sport after a 50 year gap!...so I will try the switch from when I was ..11,12,13
Great Video Chris - thank you(found you from the Wasp website)
Me too and my left-right handed performance very similar now. Most importantly keeping away my frustrated chiropractor where he complained of my deteriorating skeleton structure when my 3-month dominant handed shooting.
I started out left eye dominant and right handed. I actually just brute forced my way through it, and now I'm more right eye dominant 😂
Thank you , I have been using mine for pest control for a few years now , your system is perfect .
Hi Chris. A very late response but revisited this vid today whilst lying in eating a bacon sarnie !. More than superb advice, covers it all, thorough isn't the word !. Over three years of shooting I've addressed all the points you mentioned and shoot 99.9% similarly to yourself. A typical session at moment is 8 or 10 consecutives (8mm) through the bottom of a coke tin - ridged area - 47mm ish, at 12 or 13 metres, 1 to 1.8 inch grouping. A hell of a lot of work in getting there - down the woods three or four times a week every week for three years. One point I'd add, you might have mentioned it, is establish your aim, maintain your 'whole', your stance, anchor point, head position et al, maintain absolutely with no movement, 'bore in' to target and raise your 'equipment' (Catty) into your sight line, going slightly above then dropping on to target, release when your 'system' - brain says it's right to do so. Excellent stuff Chris ! !,
AL.
I'm just a beginner shooting slingshots... been fooling with it over the past several months.
I highly recommend re-watching this video to truly learn how to shoot well... watch it after you have been shooting some over a short period of time... or even a long period of time... all the good points that Chris addresses will make more sense... you will realize what you are probably doing wrong, or not completely correct !
Thank you Chris for this great video !
You're very welcome
Thanks Chris! Watching while I work. Im 6 months in and improving. Ive listened to you Wayne and many others on how to shoot better.
For me......shooting paper is the way to go. I use cardboard boxes and tape paper to them. I shoot a shot and try to stay on the original hole. I can tell when my release is bad....stance is off and correct.
Ive also found that shooting A LOT will help. I shoot 300-500 a week a repeat postive results.
Thanks bub. Your videos got me started.
🤘••••••••••••••••••••••••🎯
🤘🙏👊Brad
Yes buddy paper separates the men from the boys. I'm glad you like the video and keep up the practice and keep it fun
Thank you for this video and the wealth of knowledge shared, Yes, we intermediate shooters need some coaching and this was laid out so well for what I am personally and actively working on that it seems like you read my mind.
I am using a mental check list and disciplined focus to shoot paper for 50 shots every day. That bit in the end where you talk about getting worse before you get better really saved my confidence during the transition from some bad habits I developed in my posture and stance, follow through, and getting lined up for a clean line to the target consistently.
I needed this video to help me iron out some wrinkles and now I am chasing some really improved accuracy for me.
I watch as many videos on shooting as I can and your approach to shooting seems more basic and helpful than some I have seen, I have watched Bill Hayes shoot and bought one of his slingshots but he seems to be more into the long band shooting and I have tried that and have no idea how that is done. I try and shoot more to your style and stance than other shooters I have seen. This video was encouraging to me because for all the shooting I have done I still am not consistent in my shooting which amounts to frustration. I wish I had looked into this when I was much younger, but, I am having fun doing it so it is fun for me to practice and since retired I don't have anything pressing to do but piddiling anyway. Thanks for the tips and techniques.
I'm glad you have took up the sport and are enjoying it but try to limit your frustration and keep it fun you'll find that you will improve much faster 😉
Thanks a lot for making this video! I have a home business taking care of people with disabilities and the everyday grind can drive one mad, so i got into airgunning. Its so much fun but the downside was it was too noisy late at night when everyone's asleep, but is also my only down time. I am learning to shoot slingshots with my hallway as a range and the satisfaction is far greater in maintaining my mental health and keeping me sane. lol. I hope to gain more accuracy with the tips that You, Gamekeeper John, Nathan Masters, Zach Fowler and GZK (to mention a few) via the videos you produce. Again, I really appreciate you making this. Cheers from WA State!👍
Spot on Chris... very much appreciate the refresher...
Thanks Chris, brilliant video.
I'm just back into shooting after about 12 years out of the game, changed the tubes to precise flat bands on my old gypsy frame I had back in the day and after a few weeks gained loads of confidence with it - enough to bag some good game for me and the kids to cook up.
I am right handed with everything in life except for catapults/rifles/shotguns and playing pool?? I can only do left handed for some reason so it's good to see a video that explains about shooting other ways - it might help quite a few people out.
Can't wait for the next video, teach me more mate!!!
I also use my thumb nail under cheekbone as an anchor point , the idea paying attention to whole length of the thumb and shaping it to the cheekbone is something I will be adding to my shooting . Thanks for the tips , all the best for 2022 .
I'm glad I could be of help to you buddy
Today I was straightening up my head and body and it did make a big difference. Thanks 👍
..thank you for your Zen tutorial, very knowledgeable , encouraging stuffs .
Same happened to me Chris,all through my childhood l shot left handed,l write left handed and I think that’s why I did that. With no one to teach us back in the day I just carried on. Until 5 years ago I started archery and realised I was right eye dominant and so l changed over. I use the catapult for archery practice and both have improved greatly (all those wasted years!). A few aches and pains at 73 years but hey! Thanks Chris,love watching your tutorials.
Thanks Philip 👍
It's amazing how long someone will persevere with incorrect form. I done it myself
I used to shoot competitively as a kid (.22), and won a ton of high gun trophies and team awards. The emphasis on repetitive technique cannot be stressed enough. Once you determine what's making your shots accurate, do everything you can to repeat that. For me it was tilting my hand back to ensure that the slingshot frame was facing the target straight....meaning the outside face of the frame is parallel to your target. Once I figured this out I started landing shots way more consistently. The rest is just as important.......same anchor point EVERY time, and you will muscle memory it if you do it consistently and often enough. I also play guitar. Nothing is any different where that is concerned with playing very fast. Muscle memory.
While preparing your shot, release your breath, don't hold it. I always aim my slingshot down, release my breath, and then raise it into position while drawing, and 99% of the time come UP to the shot as opposed to over it and DOWN to the shot. Every one will differ, but whatever works for you, make it consistent.
Thanks Chris that was a massive help. I wondered where I went wrong sometimes you help me out there 👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful.
Like you I shot slingshots as a kid of 9-10. Only picked up slingshots again in 2016, but only shot 4-5 times in 3 years. I have now picked the hobby up again this year and was surprised how accurate I got in a matter of a 2-3 weeks.
But sometimes I can be out shooting at consistently hit high and right. I could not understand why after being accurate just days before. I was so consistent that I started adjusting where I aimed. Then this weekend i was off again.
After watching this video I think it is the tilt on my head. I can’t wait to get out and test that. I am also considering changing my anchor point to be closer to my eye. I currently use my earlobe.
Anyway, thanks again!
This was fantastic. I have been consistently shooting low left. Great vid.
What a master class from the ' Meisterslinger'!!
You are a great weapons instructor. Seriously, you communicate the various concepts so clearly.
Thank you. I try my best to do that
Nice video! For anyone who wants to confirm which is their dominant eye (or do an interesting exercise), you can test this pretty quickly. Hold your arms straight in front of you and make a triangle with your fingers: thumbs horizontal with tips touching to form the bottom of the triangle and your index fingers forming the left and right of the triangle. You should be looking at the back of your hands. Then look at an object (like a picture on the wall) and frame it inside the triangle opening. Close one eye and then the other. You will be able to see the object with one eye and it will disappear behind your hand with the other. Whichever open eye you can see it with is your dominant eye. It is really surprising just how strong eye dominance is.
I'm watching this before I start shooting, my sling shot is on the way .thank u , u touched on all points and very clear
Great video Chris as usual well done and thank you
Excellent advice Chris.
I sort of had an idea what was changing my accuracy but I like to shoot different frames and ammo. Your vid has confirmed it. (I sometimes have a stiff neck) so it's the head tilt that's affecting my accuracy as my grouping is usually good.
Thanks again Chris.
I'm glad you found my videos useful buddy
I would say wider frames typically suit a fully upright head position
Thanks for this gonna be a massive help
Thanks,this is very helpful-your analysis is 💯% on point!
This is the kind of videos I really like! Thank you for taking time to break it down brother! Everything you said was spot on!👊🙏
Thank you
You covered everything I was hoping for..especially target panic and frustration..respect.
You're most welcome
Chris, thank you so much for this exceptional tutorial! The amount of detailed instructions is amazing!
You're welcome
Thank you from slingshot Family from Philippines💯
Great video Chris. I shoot many different frames pretty well but shoot 90mm frames best. I have learned so much in a short time shooting by shooting and assessing my shots good and bad. I started to notice that when my form was off the shot just felt wrong. I started to abort the shot and go through my shot sequence steps to correct the polroblem. Shooting paper was a big thing to help my shot diagnosis too. Paper doesn't lie. I cant wait to see if my shooting improves after I get my cataracts removed. Its always great when you drop some knowledge Chris. I appreciate it brother
No problem mate
You're already and awesome shot imagine how much better you'll be when you get your vision sorted
im beyond a novice! i've just come across this sport and hobby and i can't wait to get into things.
i've wanted to get into shooting bows but financially it just isn't viable for me for probably awhile. however the technique is nearly identical with catapult shooting. so now im hooked. i also really like how cheap it is to get involved with this hobby. i can make my own targets, i can make my own frames. i'd love to be able to purchase a good frame one day, but i just spent something like $60 on bands, band ties, 8mm shot, and i work in the trades so lumber scrap is always available. im going to make my own targets next week (with just diaper boxes!) and a frame from 1x6 scrap, just to get started!
one i start practicing and working on technique and the muscle memory, i know i'll be hooked. i love golfing because of its precision and difficulty and this is going to be very similar.
my goal right now is to just get started with a working frame i make myself (i can basically have infinite attempts, but it also doesn't have to be perfect).
once i get started my goal will be to practice, learn, and improve.
your videos are super helpful, but also very inspiring. thank you!
One of the best tutorial out there...tha KS Chris you given tons of useful things 👍
Great information Chris well put & completely egoless I'm right eye dominant but use my left,I'm going to try it the other way & change from TTF to OTT & see how it goes 👍🏻
I'm trying to learn as much as I can about slingshots and how to aim properly so I can hunt some small game and overall have a nice skill. I've been binging all kinds of videos for the past week. Your accuracy is amazing and I aspire to reach that level one day hopefully.
Outstanding!!!!
Just starting on slingshot
Quality of instruction: detail/presentation would put most teachers to shame
Tks Chris
Brilliant advice thanks for sharing.. I’ve constantly had some days shoot well and others it just terrible even at 10 yards 👍👍👍
I've just started shooting a catapult and this video was so helpful many thanks! :)
Great info. Thanks for this.
Thanks for posting Chris, really enjoyed it! 👍
You're welcome buddy 🙂
Absolutely brilliant video. Really enjoyed this, Thanks buddy.
Thank you for your clear and thorough analysis. This left hand/right eye shooter appreciates you.
And I appreciate your comment
Really good knowledge learned through this video!
Awesome tips thanks.
This Slingshot Video is GOLD! Thx.
Glad to help!
Fantastic video Chris. You and Wayne are without doubt the best guys out there with tutorials my shooting has improved greatly listening to you both. So thanks for that and keep the vids coming ..
Cheers
Phil
Glad I could be of help buddy
Good explanation video chris
I like to think I’m a pretty decent shot but every now and again I get a bit complacent
And go back to your original video just to give me a refresher but this video is far more detailed and helpful thanks again for another great video keep up the good work
You're very welcome Mark
Did you get the S-Ace frame yet?
Great advice I draw up to the target I find its similar to shooting an air rifle with open sights a nice straight line and calm breathing holding your aim to long speeds up fatigue in your arms and like you said your shots will become inconsistent really like your vids and it's nice to see someone giving good honest advice cheers Chris atb
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏
Your such a good man teaching us your expert knowledge
Thank you. I learned a lot!
Great info, I learned a great deal and will incorporate it in to my shooting. Thanks Chris
You're welcome buddy Thanks 😊
Thanks mate. You are a splendid teacher.
Happy to help
thanks for sharing what you have learned I am just starting. about 4 days into it. i have to come in and watch your video about every day i learn something new every time but I am over 70 years old so i forget kind of easy. just want to say thanks.
Thank you for the tips very helpful
Thanks you for that Chris iv been getting a few fork hits in the same place over and over again in this last few months so iv not realised it will be down to me putting a bump in the pouch I found this really helpful as I couldn’t figure out why I was getting them . Much appreciated
Imagine holding a pencil straight up and down pinching the pencil like your pouch.
Now turn that pencil down to horizontal. Thats how I improved my grip. Elbow is straight or slightly elevated.
Im new. Just what ive learned.
🤘🎯
Glad I could help you with your release
I appreciate this video. I have watched multiple times. I learn something new every time. I did what you where talking about towards the end- I changed some thing’s trying to be more accurate. Well that really messed up my accuracy. However when I went back to the basics I was more accurate. Thank you for your tutorials
Glad it was helpful. That's why I've done these tutorials. I hope to come up with more informative videos, I hope I can clearly verbalise the concepts in my mind
Great video. Loads to think about!🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Well spoken Cris good stuff ..mate .🎯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great information there is definitely alot to come together for that moment, I have a annoying eye condition I'm happy just hitting that can
This is a great tutorial. I'll be looking at my slingshots as I get a lot of hand strikes
Thanks a lot Chris!!.. never thought about the head tilt!!!!.. that might explain the inconsistency sometimes!... I find that I am very inconsistent at the beginning.. then when I get one right, the others that follow are usually good!
No problem mate thats why I make these videos 👍 keep up the practice
M8 you are right. I've been tilting my head to much. Thank you 👍
Great lesson thank you
Always good advice, Chris. I'm ambidextrous, I write left handed but all else is right handed. I hold my frame in the left hand in the same position as I shoot a gun. I'm using my dominant eye that way however.
Great video. Super helpful information.
Excellent video my man, really enjoy all the content you have so many thanks from the highlands 🏴
Cheers enjoyed that
Love the tips and tutorial videos!
Thank you buddy I love the positive feedback
Another great video Chris 👌👌 .. I was putting my shots to the right for a long time.. even started referencing to the left to get the hit as I wouldn't change my my anchor point.. then discovered it was my head tilt.. straightened my head up a bit and instant success.. 🤔👌 .. Now I'm starting to understand if I miss.. I can now figure out why and how to correct my form.. Shooters can waste hours practicing bad habits ... as I did.. Definitely pays big time to follow the advice given in this video.. Well done Chris 👌👌👌
I did the same thing myself Frank. It's not easy to shoot these things to the high standards expected nowadays 🙄
Great video, very informative.
Greetings from U.S.A You been great thank you so much! i will practice What you said. It is a great video!
Very helpful !!!!!!!!
Wow, game changing advice. If you ever end up in the states, I've got your first beer.
Dear Sir, have learnt some imp tipsfrom ur structural demo which I "'ll remember in mind.many thanks.
Great pointers
Great tutorial Chris, best I’ve seen so far 🤙🏻
Thanks mate I'm glad it helped
Nice one Chris ..One thing i have found with using my slingshots is a tendency to get a stiff Neck from repeated draw and alignment .Always keep the same anchor point!
Hey dude thx so much for the slingshot for my son he has been playing with it all day
Amazing stuff the best vid I've ever seen
Thank you 😊
Excellent informative video thanks Chris 👍🏻
You're welcome Simon
Thankyou sir this was very helpful for us intermediate shooters. Very good good job.

Thank you very much
Probably the single most informative shooting video I've seen, really gave some great suggestions! Thanks buddy!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 I'm glad you found it helpful 😀
Thank you for the Tips.. Love from India
Nice one Chris!👍
Great video as always chris. One of the best teaching videos I've ever seen on catapults. Keep up the good work buddy 👏👏
Wow, thanks!
I haven’t messed with a slingshot since I was a kid long long long time ago. Really enjoy your content good stuff.
Thank you 😊
