I fully agree with this comment too ! All action and no excessive talking or stupid music in the background lostinbatcuntry8 months ago Not one word spoken, very informative, and no weak ass music blasting. Quite possibly the greatest RU-vid video ever made..
Good instructional video! (Almost) Everything you need to get shooting full butterfly! I said almost seeing you can't give us the practice to get your accuracy! Your "crazy fast bands" ROCK! Thanks for sharing the knowledge gained from all your testing! Really shortens the "learning curve" for the rest of us!
Hello, I`m right handed and left eye dominat. The left eye thing is the reason for holding my slingshot with the right hand. If you are right eye dominat, you can/should hold the slingshot with your left hand. Best regards Torsten
the most best informative youtuber best smarter ever without lot of crap bla bla bla ....thank you ytube for recommended this to me ...sorry my broken language....🙏🙏🙏😃😃😃😃
pouch hold 2 looks like its gonna bump.. do you aim different for each pouch hold types? maybe it does bump, but as your bands are so long it bumps clean over the tight forks.. try those with a non curvy thumb (lolz, yours are almost a semi circle)
Bear 911 He is awesome and intelligent. We used to discuss designs and styles in Joerg Sprave's slingshot forums. All his videos are silent like this. All of a sudden he stopped posting, wonder what happened, now back after 5 years... must try communicating with him again.
@experiment5113 I use this style because it delivers much more speed at the same draw weight. I think that increases MY accuracy - the more draw weight, the more shaking the slingshot... But I think the short draw style is not less accurate. It`s a question of personal preferences and, yes, practice Regards
Torsten, what exactly are you lining up or aiming? Are you looking over the top of the slingshot or looking through between the two posts or are you just looking at the target and shooting instinctivly? Barry
@chillmagicboy same at me: I`m right handed and hold the slingshot in my right hand, draw with the left. It has something to do with the dominant eye: the left eye is my dominant eye, so I can have a better view at the target when I draw with the left hand. Regards Torsten
@Flatband Thanks Gary! I do not know any other shooter holding the pouch like view 1 - instead of me! I think the second way is more accurate but I don`t come along with it :(
i heard that if your right handed you hold the slingshot with your left hand but i'm right handed and feel for comfortable holding it in my right hand and pulling the rubber thingy with my left hand ? Is it something that i have to get use to cuz it has benefits?
Hi mate,great video,ive just started using slingshot again on our farm for pest control,but i cant hit a dam thing lol,i use the butterfly style but just cant get my aim in(not even at 10 yards,i keep shooting all around the target),,can you help please?? cheers,all the best wayne(scotland,uk).
How the heck do you not snap your face at all? I tried this a few times and the bands popped my face. Also i cant seem to look down the band and aim the same way as normal with this butterfly style...how to aim?
a question: have you ever hit your head using this style. I really think it is possible. btw, it looks so easy to shoot in this way. nice and informative vid
If you use TB blue for high speed bands it last much longer than TBG. It makes not much difference if you use it for slow target bands. The advantage from TB blue: you need much less draw weight to get the same speed as with TBG bands. The advantage from TBG: you don`t need multiple layers to make a (target) band.
How do you aim how do you get anchor point correct every time? I believe I can do it n figure out my self I am just curious if you have a specific way obv I know about normal short style shooting catty short draw I shoot ott using top edge of fork tip for reference point and my anchor point is index knuckle in my nostril and my thumb nail in corner of my mouth at edge of my lip I change elevation with different ammo weights Ido what works for me as it seems to work for me all the time etc so I'm guessing with full butterfly draw maybe the centre of your body your head maybe your nose acts as a type of anchor showing you you have correct elevation I have no clue I'm guessing as I go am I nearly correct or as am I totally no where near correct... I love learning I only got my first catty last month but been educating myself for months before that listening to the slingshot gurus advice and reading convos on forums about dif tapers etc and it so interesting it really has so Many variables it is a science even down to temperature tapers and band thickness and ammo size weight and material all at significant role in how the ballistics will register AWESOME bro stay blessed from the uk.....PEACE
hello. after one week of training and one bad release ( injured face) i am now shooting on 50m cca 35-37cm circle. the nearest shot to the point of aim is 21cm. i have got pocket poacher II - dankung. i dont know bands ( from czech factory) and shooting bearings 14mm. i must to learn my brain to remember the elevation. on 20m i have a 20cm circle group. your video helps me to learn this style. cheers Peter
hi there im new to shooting with a catapult had it bout 6 weeks use it most days but I am right handed and right eye dominant but I hold with right and pull back with left .if im wrong tell me because try get out of bad habbits thanks guys
What are the largest steel balls you will use with this style of shooting? My smallest steel ball which I will use for hunting is 12.7 mm what people know as 1/2 inch steel balls. Those bands are incredibly fast *wow* fast.
@fluteplayer38 I hold the slingshot sideways while shooting. I do not really aim, I`m a more instinctive shooter. I bring the bands exactly in one line with the target and then I focus the target and see the slingshot in the edge of my sight. When I have the feeling I have the right position (hight of the slingshot) I do release the shot. The point of the release is more a thing of the right feeling for me. I tried to aim earlier, but it doesn`t work for me. Regards Torsten
Hi, I'm new to the world of slingshots and thought the idea was to keep your front hand still but you seem to be flicking it forwards..... Why do you do this and should I be doing this?
Some explanation behind why you use this technique would be helpful to avoid some questions. Interesting style which I have not seen before. Thanks for sharing.
una pregunta cual es el punto de mira o como apuntas tengo experiencia con otros modelos pero a este se me ha hecho difícil encontrar el punto de mira te agradeceria si me ayudas
I notice you pause a little just before releasing the pouch (I do that, too). Have you experienced some speed gain by not pausing? Lots of guys out there go for that pfshooter style, to gain speed and power, but it's not my cup of tea. Would be interesting to get your point of view in that subject, if you have any.
Yes - to pause a bit means to loose a bit of speed/power. The longer pausing the more lost of speed... But for daily (target) shooting it is irrelevant. And for hunting - better to hit the game with 5% less power than to miss the game with more power... And "pfshooter-style" - what`s that, man??? Something what is used since decades from others - but not beeing uploaded on YT before...
Honestly I feel like the only comfortable way to shoot flat bands is to shoot butterfly because other shorter lengths of band make me feel restricted while using butterfly makes shooting feel very natural and easy to shoot and be accurate as well
The largest steelies I shoot with are 11,3mm diameter - 0.44" cal. Hunting...with a slingshot is illegal here in Germany. So I can`t say something about this topic... The speedof this bands is great, the life span is... not great: around 80 shots with the first attachement. I would not recommend this bands for usual targetshooting! It would be a waste of material. But I use them for 80% of my shooting - I have just the most fun with them. And I can recommend to test those bands - addictive :)
