Really good video Exactly the stage I'm at,trying to reduce group size,dont know any catty shooters so relie on videos like this. Bin shooting 6mths gone from 3ft to 3 inch now thanks to this 2 inch might be achieved with some serious practice, thanks again!

[@robstrong5734]

Good video Keith mate. I'm shooting quite well but every now and again I get a shot going an inch or so higher than the target and could never work out why.... after watching this I'm assuming my bottom fork is slightly further forward than the top. Something to keep an eye on. Great tip. Cheers fella and happy shooting

[@keithdighton]

No problem rob, yes I would say that's what your doing. If your bottom band is retracting faster then it will force the ammo up. Ita quite important to get the forks level!

[@TheAxia5573]

Good tips. I will make do with it. TQ.

Thank you

[@KnotChinese]

Great video. If l would add just one thing, it would be - think smooth. The smoother your technique, the more consistent you will be.

[@minkorrh]

Like anything....consistency is key. Same stance, same draw, same anchor point, same ammo, same bands, same distance, same underwear. If it's fruit of the loom, you're eating good tonight.

[@danielgreen3715]

Good Video This! ..Bad Habits Do creep in Using a Slingshot is just as mush an extension of the will as Archery is!

[@Zerpersande]

The forks aren’t perpendicular to the target. They are parallel to the target and perpendicular to the ground.

[@duskom6737]

Dobar video.

[@andyquelch662]

Thanks for a great in depth video 👍 As a right handed person which hand would you recommend my catty is in? ... I've just got a wasp starter kit and have been shooting with my frame in my right hand ???

[@keithdighton]

totally depends on what is your dominant eye is andy, if your left eye dominant you want to be holding in your right hand and if your right eye dominant you hold in your left and like me. if your sat down, point at a small target with both eyes open. then close your left eye while still pointing. if your finnger is still on the target your left eye dominant if its not then you are right eye. simple!

[@chrro466]

Informative video thanks. I’m new to this so May I ask what band thickness/ taper etc u are using with 6mm Shot. I need a starting basis thanks. Regards Just noted a previous similar question and response, so no worries thanks once again for the vid. Subscribed 🤙🏼

[@keithdighton]

I am using precise 0.4 with a 16-12 taper

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

Good video

[@roberttrungel-nagy8283]

Dear Sir! I would like to ask if there is a formula for cutting the length of the rubber. Thanks Robert

[@dalroache]

What bands R u using here? Were they precise or snipersling ?

[@eljunayag2954]

whats your taper on the band for 6.37mm ammo?

[@fuadhj.fadzil1662]

whast the best gap between he fork? seen lots 40mm . Is this the std?

[@shezorkhan8333]

👍👍👍

[@karangkaletak3707]

[@stu2427]

6mm steel what band you using

[@prcnl]

Hi Keith. Nice video. What bands do you use with the 6mm ammo? Also The ammo size you mentioned is it just for target shooting or do you use it for hunting? Cheers fella.

[@keithdighton]

Thanks paul, I'm using .45 bsb, I have hunted and killed clean with it but it's got to be an eyeball shot. The speed out of this set is amazing

[@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069]

In ww2 my Father shot down a messasmit Me 109 with a catapult ,,the pilot bailed out and dad killed him stone dead in the air with his second shot, then he carried on hop picking. Take oath.......Beat that. Great video.

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

Hi, I'm new to this ,I'm a right handed what hand do I hold the frame in ?

[@keithdighton]

Depends on what your dominant eye is. I'm right handed and hold in my left

[@MangaGamified]

Anyone has any ideas what are those washers called?

[@shanejackson213]

Hi Keith me again, Have you ever known this,changed bands yesterday and started shooting groups like a champion,couldn't believe it,only when I checked my bands I'd put ttf on my ott,how the hell does that work!

[@keithdighton]

if your shooting well like that then keep doing it! i know several people who tie ott bandsets on ttf frames and vice versa. you may be getting a rifling effect on the ball on release and if its working dont change it as we are all different

Do slingshot target shooters suffer from gold fever (target panic) like people in archery too?

[@bushcrafty7274]

I've missed at 6yards hunting, I hit a squirrel on the head at 30 yards because I didn't panic, assuming I'd just miss completely but was perfect

[@odlanorirom]

...where is your reference point on the frame?

Its different for different distances
