The key is concentrating on slow release. It's kinda like yanking the trigger on a gun, the faster you pull the trigger, the more apt you are to miss the shot. Seferal,things to think of when shooting sling- hold eleastic parallel with top of sling, pouch needs to be even elastic bands need to be even, and the release needs to be smooth and even. If you forget one step, the shot will be off target, possibly,hitting thumb or finger or fork. The release though seems to be quite critical (as do the other two factors mentioned) You need to learn to let both thumb and index to let go evenly. That takes practice and deliberate concentration in the beginning.
Am beging to Love u man. Watched other videos and soo many complications... but just a single video of urs and one day practice am close to perfect... the best statement that changed me is.. "there's no right or wrong but what works for you" kisses on ur cheek
Great vid John 👌🏼 I cut my pouch now just long enuf for it to close after the ammos loaded but but I keep my grip rite in front of the ball, thumb up for ttf, and are not much wider than the ammo I’m using enuf to cover the ball tho, but this is a big prob with a lot of shooters 👍🏻
It would be interesting to see in super slo of a close up of the pinch and release wrongly and correctly done I had one of these sling shots as a kid and gave it up because I was a lousy shot I am going to get another because this tutelage has shown me the light heh heh thanky much
I would like to learn you way,to squeeze the pouch in front of the lead ball,because when you are maxed out with your double bands,it can be tricky to hold it tight over the longer period of time
This is where I am messing up, finding it all so unnatural for some reason. Only new to the sport but it’s starting to bug me. Shooting high at only 15feet or so. Great videos, as with everything new practice is key.

As a newbie to using a Slingshot which Slingshot would you recommend that I buy please? I did buy one last year but the square band snapped after just a few uses. So I obviously would like to buy one with a strong reliable band. Thank you for your Videos. JOHN
I was wondering if a rusty ball is better because it would create small dimples like a golf ball? If you look at golf ball dimples on google it says it makes the ball travel significantly further. Maybe you could do some tests to prove/ disprove my theory.
Hey John! I’m a huge fan of you’re catapults. I’m really wanting to buy a PPMG Plus, but unfortunately I’m from the US, and shipping from ProShot to me would be around 18 US Dollars. So I was wondering if you could give me a discounted or free shipping code to use at ProShot Catapults. Any help is appreciated! Cheers!
My question is my front hand that hold the slingshot should my hand point towards the target after i release or should i keep it straight up and down or what it seems like every single time i shoot i seem to shoot it different bc i cant get comfortable shooting it at all
Hi how much is your ttf plus catapult and what is the best stick to present a lot of people as shooting small ammo these days what do you recommend if you can get back to me it be appreciated 👍 this is an aluminium catapult
Подскажите , уже вторую неделю, хожу стреляю камешками, но результат практически ни какой., стреляю с 15етров., попадание 1 к 20 ((.Сколько мне еще учится? Благодарю.
I’ve been using my thumb and middle finger. It started bc when I loaded the pouch with one hand the grip happened naturally. Now when I bring the pouch to my reference point there are three points of contact…middle finger under my lip, middle knuckle of thumb at corner of my mouth and index finger on nose.
