Yup, anchor first, then push the fork out. For safety, I recommend practicing this style with new bands. You're not inspecting your bands before they come in line with your eye, so minimize the chances with new rubber. This relies on our ability to accurately point our finger at a distant object. Among my homemade forks, I'm the most accurate with the ones that allow my index finger to be very close to the top fork tip. That has the added advantage of generally being a smaller frame. You only need enough handle for a secure grip. That can be achieved with handle shape instead of length. I've also switched to round fork tips over flat faced. With the same gap, a round tip fork is usually narrower. They also don't have right angles that can make getting it out a pocket difficult. That all adds up to a fork that rides unseen in the breast pocket of my coat. 👍
@@411Outdoors I was thinking about trick shooting videos I've seen. Fowler for example was throwing a can in the air, loading and shooting while it was in the air. The trick was how he had the fork setup. He had lighter tubes and mounted in a specific way. They didn't get twisted after a shot, making the next one faster. He wasn't pinching the pouch. He used a finger to both hold the ball in the pouch and pull it back. He didn't seem to draw full length either. So ultimately you lose power in favor of rapid fire. I can't think of a practical application, but as a training tool it could be useful. 👍
