Your technical explanations are by far the most comprehensive I've ever heard. Thank you for your knowledge and the way you simplify your explanation. This is why I subscribed.
From an 80 year-old newbie, thanks for a great lesson on left or right misses. I’ve been an observer of this sport for some time, but when Nathan made his plea for help from Helene, I decided to jump in and give it a try. I was an archery hunter before I got too old to do it, so my learning curve was pretty short. I quickly realized that coming to full draw with a slingshot isn’t a whole lot different than drawing down on a bull elk at 20 yards. For this old man, that’s a really good thing and brings back lots of great memories. I bought a Scout X and an LT2, and both are great fun to shoot. Love those fiber optic sights. I was consistently missing right until I found this video, and you fixed me right up. Thanks again; this is a very helpful video. 😎
Awesomeness, there is a lot that is the same as archery when slingshot shooting. I am so glad you found the sport. Glad this video was helpful for you, shoot straight buddy!
agreed! The majority of my shots left or right are because of the fork angle. I've found the width of the fork grip makes a difference. A wider grip, not necessarily gap makes it easier to have it orientated correctly. My wrist can move more freely when there's less distance between my thumb and index finger. I've also found that I occasionally find my anchor, thumb knuckle to the sweet spot on my cheek bone for example and then press the knuckle into my face harder than usual. That tiny little bit is enough to put my shot off center. I do that most often when I'm struggling against overly stiff bands or otherwise under stress that prevents me from noticing the little details. The proper head space is important. That said I like to practice at different times so I'm on game to some degree regardless of mental state. Examples. Skipped lunch and starting to feel woozy from hunger. Take a few shot and figure out what went wrong, after eating and gaining back your metal acuity of course. Had a a few beers, smash the empties and figure out what makes you miss in that state. In other words, knowing the process and executing it in an alternated state are very different things. 👍
I'm not much of a drinker but I can see the advantage of that training. I'm the exact opposite and for me the narrower are the easiest to get a good square hold on.
