Hi Bill, wow that was a great display of unbiased tests that I would never have thought of doing. The stationary position of the sling shot was a brilliant idea and now I will shoot TTF. I'm a NEWBIE and honing my own style. Sling shots are fun and I look forward to getting deeper into the rabbit hole.

Bill, So much appreciate your enthusiasm in shooting, building and teaching!!! Been going back and watching many of your earlier videos and learn something every time 😎 I'm slowly converting to TTF, and just for me, it has been a much more consistent method of getting on the target. Probably helps that I use your Taurus Pro when shooting this style ;) Best ergonomic frames on the market in my opinion and I own and love many from other makers 😁 Thanks for all you do for the sport!!!

Well, it might make a difference if one uses a pouch that is tied to the bands for TTF-style in an OTT-setup. (Since you used the same bandset for both tests, the pouch must be attached in a way that favors one of the styles...) I used bandsets on my TTF-frames that were tied for OTT - and that worked quite well. I'm not sure if it works the same the other way round. (TTF is in my opinion a more "forgiving" shooting style.) But even if the bandset used was not made for OTT, I'd be skeptical if that's the main reason for a larger grouping. BTW: I prefer to shoot TTF, simply because I feel to have more consistency that way. The path how the elastics travel is far more controllable and predictable for me than in OTT.

In the past I've tried the bandsets with OTT tied and TTF tied for each style and even switched them to the other style as an alternate scenario... TTF still won. It's like I've said before, we're all flawed shooters to some degree, TTF is just a little more forgiving. Though, I've had days when shooting either style when it seems like I just couldn't miss.

OTT certainly has asymmetric directional forces upon band release compared to TTF. These forces are at right angles to the target and possibly explain the "width" of the grouping. Could the sharp edge on most slingshots add to this factor? Could breaking the band over a larger radius change the results? I would love to see a slow motion of the release of each style.

I appreciate the video. My experience is that I shoot better OTT. I have both TTF AND OTT, in your frames and others and can shoot both pretty darn well. I shoot every day for over a year. I just have less issues with OTT. Frame strikes, Aiming. Especially hold over visibility. So I think that shooter comfort and confidence also plays perhaps even more importance to me in over all accuracy and shooting pleasure. This is not a criticism of the great work you do just my personal observation. PS I have 5 of your TTF Taurus, and the OTT as well. I love them. Thanks.
@eugeneg3106
@eugeneg3106 Жыл бұрын
Well, I'm guessing that the TTF approach is more natural for a rubber band when the band is released (just like the limbs of a bow move evenly and straight away from the shooter when arrow is fired). Whereas in OTT there is a slight twist of the band which makes subtle changes in tension. Since the shooting action itself is human and not robotic, and there are very subtle differences in how each element is performed per every shot (even for slingshot aces), the TTF looks a bit more forgiving than OTT in terms of consistency. However, in general, OTT is more beginner friendly in a technical sense. Thanks for the test!

Si quieres hacer una comparación justa, el tipo de pliegue en el cuero del Pouch debe de ser distinto. EN OTT se pliega la goma como un libro y luego se vuelvo de doblar, en TTF se pliega como en un tríptico la goma y se dobla en el agujero del trozo de cuero, no puedes usar el mismo tipo de agarre al pouch.

@ZwillenBendiger
@ZwillenBendiger 2 ай бұрын
For those wondering why ttf is often more accurate than ott It’s due to the Magnus effect. With ott, the bands are usually tied to the pouch in such a way that, during shooting, the rubber comes into contact with the ball, giving it spin. This spin causes the ball to follow a curved trajectory. However, with ttf, the bands are typically arranged so that the ball does not come into contact with the rubber, preventing any spin. As a result, the ball flies as straight as possible. So, tff is only more accurate than ott because of the way people tie their ttf and ott band sets. However, you can also tie an ott band set in such a way that the ball does not touch the rubber, making it just as accurate as ttf

The slingshot is a simple mechanical device, has no "play" or "randomness" in it. It has no own "will" to shoot here or there. If the 2nd ball went to a different place than the 1st, then something else was different. The shooter, the ball, the wind...

I'm confused. It seems locking the frame solid on the OTT test may have introduced some innacuracy or inconsistency that isn't there on a flexible wrist. I'm watching videos of people hitting 9 out of 10 shots on a nickel at that range, but your results show that should be impossible. Maybe you need a hinge on the base of the frame?
