    Really helpful info, I was looking at the thing I do and discovered atleast 3 ways I can improve. (light ammo, over extending and tight tying) I was probably getting 100 shots a band, ahwell I got 10 bands with my slingshot so atleast I have some time to fix some of these problems, thankyou John!

    Great informative vid John. I’ve got one of your Ali PPSG and must say that after 6 months of practice I am completely at one with it now. I don’t hunt....only cos I can’t find the time....but with 9.5 steel and 25/20 TBG singles the thing is a absolute beast! 10 metre beer cans turned end on so I’m aiming for the bottom of the can. Every shot hits the target. Glad you are starting to put up more new vids. I’ve learnt so much from you.....if not everything. Cheers .👊✌️

    • @jimmy66603
      @jimmy66603 6 років тому

      Shaun McGrew cheers for that....I’ll get the calculator out and convert your set up to mm and give it a go. And yes, I only use 9.5mm steel now. Bought a mould and cast my own 10mm lead and have tried larger steels. But, basically a disaster! Such a difference in aim etc. I just don’t get on with anything other than 9.5. So accurate for me. I’ll let you know how I get on with your set up. Thanks again.

    First I want to thank you for posting this video. You obviously know you stuff and I learn a lot from you about slingshots.
    Your #8 and #3 is my number 1&2. I buy Them pre-cut and tied so I Figured tht was normal to break at the pouch tied. and I didn't know shooting light ammo would affect the bands but it makes sense once you said it, it's basically like dry fire. Question i have is how to know which bands are too heavy and which ones will be ok for the small ammo I often shoot

    I'd also like to suggest adding a little talc to your bands and fork tips before each shoot, I'm fairly confident it is adding to my band life quite significantly over the several months I've been doing it. Perhaps worth a proper test, John?

    Dry firing shortens life of bands but
    Is a good way to practice maintaining your posture during the drawback and realse.

  • @reesdavies7902
    @reesdavies7902 Рік тому

    Why would dry firing cause an issue? Is it because it’s a wasted shot? A pull is a pull isn’t it?

    Hey John I just got back into slingsots/catapult's about 4 weeks ago and iv got back to where I'm an ok shot and can hit a bottle top pretty regularly at 10 meters but I'm a horribly bad cold start shooter (I have to warm up) and lately it seems I haven't been real consistent . I know all the things to do but I can't seem to drill the target like i should. Any tips you got for me would be great. Love your channel...

    Is there an expected shelf life for theraband?
    I bought a load a while back, kept it dry, in the dark and away from anything else, it perished way quicker than expected. Its hot here in summer but not all year and not turbo hot!!

    • @jimmyh8090
      @jimmyh8090 3 роки тому +1

      Theraband is natural rubber so it perishes quickly ,try and keep it in an air tight container. Most people don't use it any more , try gzk or snipersling rubber. Hope this helps jim
