Gain Slingshot Accuracy Fast 

Boy I can make two of those sling shots from my wife's favorite cutting board. She will just love that.

I can't tell you how valuable your videos are to me! So simply explained. You are a great teacher Lonnie.

I bought my dad a slingshot for his 62nd birthday about 20 yrs ago. He had not shot one in about 25 yrs. He picked up some rocks off the ground and shot at a can on the ground about 20 foot away. The first shot he missed about an inch-the next 3 shots he hit it. Him and his twin brother used to hunt with them when they were growing up and he was one of the best around this part of the country. The only person around here that could out shoot him was a guy called slingshot charley from around tiptonville tennessee. I think he was the state champion or something like that. My dad passed 4 yrs ago and I feel like part of me died-He taught me so much.-I just wish I was half the man he was. He was one of the best hunters around this part of the state. One of the most simple men you could ever meet, but so wise and everybody loved him and he never met a stranger. I miss him so. Thanks for this video.

Excellent tip about the thumb and finger release, I've been shooting for a few year's now and it took me a long time to realise the effect this has on your accuracy :) wish I found your video sooner.

thus was much more helpful than other videos ive seen on how to aim a slingshot. thanks!

Great ideas. I could have used those pointers 60 years ago. Never too late. Young only once, juvenile forever. My wife would agree about that regarding me. I just bought a used cutting board at a garage sale for fifty cents. Perfect, easily make two sling shot frames. When I was a kid I used to go to town where there was a store that had all sorts of old logging stuff for sale cheap and also a barrel of old ball bearings. I'd buy a sack of those bearings and use them with my sling shot. They'd punch right through plywood or 1" cedar boards. Very lethal. Shot a pheasant once and other times could have used one to shoot blue grouse if I'd had a sling shot with me. Thanks again for the very good pointers.

Wow!Great shooting.Super fast reflexs when the garage door poped.Thanks again.Tennessee

Wonderful tip, Lonnie! I think it is just what I needed to improve my self-taught slingshot method (maybe my accuracy will improve.) Good luck hunting!!! Thanks so much, Clark

Thanks for the excellent video. Your clear explanation for release helped straightened out my shot!

Great craftsmanship on the slingshot and the target. Looks like a lot of fun and a great skill to acquire. I need to set something like this up. Cheers!

I enjoyed your video! You're new design was very expressive out of 1/2" high density plastic! And you points on aiming was was very important to know! Accuracy is the biggest issue with a slingshot! Thank you for the good instructions!

Love the channel and the in depth explanations. Really helped to improve my skill. Keep up the good work! Many Thanks

Excellent video as always!

Awesome video, Lonnie. Used slingshots since I was a kid. Just a forked stick and an old bicycle inner tube! Even though I've used them for over 40 years, I learned a lot from this video. Sure makes sense. Thanks again! Mike

As always you never cease to amaze me and inspire me to break out my slingshot and start practising good luck on the caribou hunt and May God look over you and protect you

Thanks for the video. I have a slingshot. Time for me to try your suggestions, and see what I can do.

Great video Lonnie, some fantastic shooting and tips that you gave! Also, loving the beard, lookin like a true Alaskan Mountain Man! Greetings from Germany

haha love the smirk of confidence when you hit the can for the third straight time in a row; ready to drag out my old sling shot. thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Wow! Thanks so much for the tips. I've gotten interested in slingshots just very recently. They're light, and in the wild, if you run out of gun ammo, you always have ammo on the ground. It could be a lot faster and more efficient than perhaps trying to set a lot of snares when you don't have forever to find something to eat.

Thank you. That was informative and fun to watch. Always learning from you.

i share all these videos with my two sons!! thank you and keep up the great work!!

Great video, thanks for the helpful tips Lonnie!

OBTW Lonnie, I love DIY - but in appreciation for his contributions and free templates, got off my duff and ordered a The Hathcock Target Sniper from him. Essentially the same design refined and renamed. Have always used "over the top" designs in the past, but watching your video convinced me this is the way to go to improve my own accuracy. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for this! These videos are awesome!

Great shooting! I just picked up a slingshot recently, they're great fun.

Really good stuff, thanks for sharing. Cook up looks great!

Always learning something from you Lonnie. God bless and keep up the great work!

Great video, you are quite obviously legendary. I bought a hays slingshot the other day, took 3 weeks to arrive and I was delighted when it did. Interested to see your version and defo going to make a version of my own at some point. Happy hunting

Your voice is interesting. Storyteller vibes

Very informative! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Just ran across this video again. Good refresher! Hope you're well 🙂

this is actually what I needed. I'm getting a triple band hunting slingshot, has a bit more optimized aiming than a crappy Daisy. holding I can put in some practice soon. think I'll need clay shot and I'll just have to hit the mountains. no place to really practice here lol. I do like that design you got though. it's real nice. I had a budget so I didn't get a uber high end model but it's solid brass, and looked like it has good aiming points.

and thank you for getting back to my comment I appreciate that you took your time to do it and I really appreciate all your tips they've helped me become a more accurate shot with my slingshot God bless you and once again good luck with your health I'm praying for you

I just wanted to say thank you . I had a slingshot when I was a kid and gave it up as hopeless. after I watched you video I went to our local sporting goods store and bought one for $8. I applied what you went over and after about 45 min. I was hitting a pie pan 7/10 times at about 35 feet. I'm not great yet but you definitely made this highly enjoyable activity more approachable and I'm sure I will continue to improve. My compliments on excellent video.

i really want a slingshot now haha sweet video, seeing how accurate u r has giving me faith

Thank you for this video. Awesome shooting and instruction.

Great pointers on slingshot use. Good fun for anyone, and fodder for the cook pot too. Thank you.

Good shooting Lonnie nothing like a sling shot what ever the age, my sling shot is still in use after 45 yrs love it made it myself, thanks for your tips 👌👋🇬🇧

You shoot like a pro. Good tips. Thanks for sharing

very cool! 2 things.. throat lozenge & edit those parts out. you are bad ass.

Great video and I liked that shooting technique... The bannock and grouse looked great!

Great tips! Thank you for sharing

I usually miss the target by no more than an inch. I think I know why now. I've been holding the pouch the way you "used" to hold it. It makes perfect sense. Glad I stumbled across your video.

after you hit those 3 in a row your face was priceless. great video and I'm gonna work on the tips you have given. honestly I can't get any worse lol.

Hi Lonnie. I've just recently thought about getting back into slingshotting. Especially with the "wild" turkeys that just come right through our yard here. Can't use a gun - too many houses close by. Anyway back to the point. I was fair to middlin with my wrist rocket as a kid. Never hunted with one though. Did a lot of bow hunting as well as shotgun and even some black powder rifle. Only rifle hunting allowed in MA is pre 1865 black powder. Never thought of this before but what a great way to take some small game if your out big game hunting and don't want to make a lot of noise. You're inspiring me for sure Lonnie. I just have to get that sling shot action going again now.

I'm just getting started with slingshots. When you did this video, you were already better than I am now. I'm starting off with empty gallon milk jugs at about 7 yards. I am favoring my Barnett Black Widow, which does have a wrist support. I think that helps me with a consistent hold. I am using the same hold you are, sideways with the device in my left hand, and I use the tip of the upper yoke where the round band attaches as my sight, and I place it dead center on the milk jug. I'm probably getting 6 or 7 hits out of of 10 shots. But, I don't have a good target box where I can recover my ammo yet, so I'm using small gravel, and, believe it or not, the seeds from podocarpus trees, as my ammo. Anyway, thanks for this video, and I hope you are well too.

You are the MAN! Great video. Man, if I were in Alaska, or anywhere w/in traveling distance, you and me would be going trout fishing, and we'd nail em! Hahaha. Thanks for the great tips!

Nice instructional vid! Just purchase a slingshot. I look forward in practicing myself. Nice shooting. God Bless

Good Luck on your Caribou. I was blessed with a Bighorn Sheep tag. I have till December to get in shape. This video was really super thank you!

Thanks for the tips, very interesting going to try that out later!!

Awesome vid. Great shot. I think I'm gonna go get a sling shot today. Thanks Lonnie.

Hi Lonnie. That was some great shooting! Your videos are always interesting, educational, and entertaining. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks and keep them coming.

Pretty fancy shooting there Lonnie!

Great video very useful information i hadnt been able to find anywhere else. Thank You for this. I will surely watch more of your videos!

Good hunting Lonnie! Will be watching for those future videos mentioned in this one - sounds like something a guy should know..

Thanks, good video, just what I needed.

Nice. I have 3 or 4 slingshots and never use them because I can't aim worth a crap. I'm gonna try that technique. Thanks.

Great video! Thanks!!

Very imformative as usual Lonnie hope your both keeping well, atb Ken

Great tips, thank you.

Good one, Lonny. I agree, a slingshot is a great way to have a partridge or two for supper. Although, I never took the time to hone the skill as you're doing. I guess it was because it wasn't unusual to find a bird kind enough to hang around if I missed the first time.Thanks for posting.

That was excellent Lonnie! Have also decided to get back to a sling shot and have one on the way but would also like to experiment with Bill Hayes design as well. Appreciate all the DIY information and technique which should make my endeavour more fruitful. Been shooting the bow lately so this should be a relatively smooth adaptation. Use the same anchor point and hadn't seen that used yet. Best wishes on the caribou hunt!

Thanks Lonnie for the demonstration. This method of hunting is quite good. I remember the old Wrist Rockets. Trouble with them was, the rubber tubing always gave out. The only way you could get replacement tubing in those days was to go to a medical or chemistry supply store. Many times, you would be turned down because they thought you were just some druggie looking for some of this tubing to help find a vein to shoot up.

Nice video! Good teacher! God bless You!

Thanks for the tips sr .

This guy is the best. Thanks for the videos.

enjoyed video thank you for teaching me something new

That look to camera after the third shot on target was gold. 😂 Legend.

You're a slingshot wizard!

i love my slingshot!! is part of my arsenal with my revolver and my semi automatic gun 🔫.

Thanks for the tips, very nice shooting and good luck with the caribou hunt.

You just got a new subscriber, really good video! I have to say I found it funny when you said around 13:44mins where you said you'd show a clip of one of the Grouse you got...I thought it would be you hunting it...LOL you were already cooking it - awesome dude!!

I like the spent ammo retrieve system.

Thanks for the advice nice vid
