Hi Bro. I'm talking as a guy who was British archery champion in 2003. Because of arthritis i have now taken up catapults and bloody love it. Not having to pull back 70lbs is great relief. What I'm getting at is, what you have just explained about hitting the frame is almost identical to the laws of archery. Think this is why i love it so much. Nice one lad. Excellent advice. Wayne.

[@johnwilson1935]

The enthusiasm John has jumps from the screen.Totally draws me in.

[@Grizzly_Creek]

I appreciate how humble you are. You are a great mentor to all of us.

[@kimberleydavies724]

Absolutely brilliant - Was pissing myself laughing and forkits and rushin. Can imagine if i'm rushin I'm going to be saying forkit!!. That said John is the best I've seen in the UK for sling shot shooting and information. British Greatness!

[@stevevess8464]

One of the lessons I learned shooting Archery was the importance of FOLLOW THROUGH after the shot, and I haven't seen it addressed in any how to shoot a slingshot videos. Which is the subconscious tendency to anticipate the shot and relaxing one or both of your hands and/or the body position prematurely, also called peeking. The fix is to hold your entire hand and body positions until the shot hits the target. Then relax. Also allow a brief time interval between the shots. To allow the muscles to recover and your brain to process the prior shot. Don't hurry and instantly begin reloading for the next shot thus blurring all the shots together!

[@jcurwen31]

Years ago, i was used to shoot pfs catapult. Now i stick to ttf style catapult but i use the tweak the pouch method, and then have the speed bump phenomenon as a security advantange. For me, i turn the pouch at 90 ° and the fork hits are history. And as you said, adsolutly NEVER rush.

[@livebait9666]

Nice job with the coin out of the air and the Steele ball shot! Awesome video from GAMEKEEPER JOHN

[@darend2590]

That's great John nice bit of countryside there . Look forward to your next video . love my ppmg's ! mate

[@taoli34]

Today I got many fork hits on the lower fork. I figured out that it is due to pinch, I use thumb and middle finger to pinch, and the thumb seems to be in front of the ammo, causing the ball to roll over my thumb and deviate downward, hitting the lower fork. Thanks for this video, it corroborated my troubleshooting.

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

Some people like me wiv ttf used to flick the frame forward on release as I'm used to pfs

[@lukeellison645]

Nice vid John that steel ball shot was amazing 👌🏼👌🏼

[@1minutecomicswala750]

Hello gamekeeper john, which type of slingshot is your favorite: ttf or otf, also bands vs tubes?💐💐💐💐

[@robertmcdermott1795]

Love the channel and the vids. Iv ordered from u with 2 things this past week and my daughter is gettin on the band wagon as well lol keep the vids coming, very entertaining 😊

[@KenKen2023smith]

I’m in the US... how can I get that exact set up you have and what kind of band are you using and what size pellet? I love this! Bought my first slingshot the other day! Thanks for the video bro!

[@danielgreen3715]

Cable ties eh!!?? ..what a great idea!! Thankyou John

[@mattwaldman1086]

Great forks John, I’ve been out scouting branches, quite a few live oaks come down in a wet storm, I’ve found four out of that lot. Great tips, if you just 90 up on everything like you’ve said, no hits. Or no huge weird rocks, my now, ex wife mangled her hand 😊with a big rock with a TTF I made. I just had bicep tendon reattached, weak left (catapult hand) arm, will one band reduce my accuracy when I restart shooting, soon...

[@davidboyd374]

I'm virtually destroying a TTF catty and continually get fork hits at the bottom of the cup. I'm really trying to figure it out. But I think I'm not holding the frame correctly sometimes. But hopefully I will figure it out

[@andrewsarchus6036]

Insanely accurate shooting John!

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Awesome shooting, John!

[@owenthomas9863]

Does using OTT Bands on a TTF frame increase chance of fork hits?

[@bwghall1]

can you use one length of the band all the way around John and put the pouch on the band, please advise. Cheers Briddy.

[@johnjgb6178]

Can twisted bands be a cause? I use a Dankung style catapult with looped tubes. One time I got 4 fork hits during one shooting session. Think it was due to not untwisting the tubes.

[@scottishtitan3501]

good to have ye back bud see ye have the nice celtic mohawk back ;)

[@rendydddd]

Thank you for info I'm tired of my moon-surface slingshot

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

Do you think ttf is superior to OTT? I like the aiming of OTT but i hate the handslap. I heard most top/best shooters use ttf?

[@lawsonrichards6251]

Great Information m8. Cheers J. Top shooting!

[@richardharris5083]

Nice shooting.. any news on that new catapult you had planed ?

[@traceypotts9425]

Wow your shooting is amazing 😍🤣🤣

[@derekirelandsirsmokepotalo1152]

Your the bloke that put on to slingshot's I haven't got out yet as I'm waiting on ammo it's hard to get where I am in Dublin they want mad money for a small amount of 8mm steel balls

[@joeyjfivelujan5777]

I think your dead on about why fork hits happen .. i think its 90 percent the pouch hold ! Nice video John

[@coldshotslingshots7314]

Joey Lujan I've said the same thing, what's up Joey!

[@joeyjfivelujan5777]

Cold Shot Slingshots yup its truth!

[@stephencunliffe3879]

Excellent vid and shots !

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thanks for sharing mate 👍👌🇬🇧

[@darrenmorris8258]

what size bb do you use for hunting mate?

[@GJAOfficial]

How long do you get out of bands John?

[@Hampshire87]

I’ve got to ask are they OTT bands

[@Hampshire87]

Thank you for number 2092 arrived this morning

[@mattyroberts8230]

Getting some good advice from your videos. Is it you that makes the PPSG, PPMG etc? You didn't hit that ball at the end of this vid lol fibber!

[@bsacadetmajor]

John what band size you got there ?

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

good tips

[@stevevess8464]

I kept getting handslap of bands going through the forks. TTF. Tried everything NO JOY switched to OTT, I AM NOW ACCURATE AND NO HANDSLAP.

[@Nazareth434]

I still get knuckle smash with ott

[@swillshere]

After tying those ash forks it was time for you to fork off home😁

[@mestari3073]

How many times you can shoot with a slingshot until the rubber goes off? How often do you change the rubber?

[@viralvideo171]

That depends on the humidity and sun exposure plus other factors like forkhits and storage.

[@Nazareth434]

Twice only- it's a super expensive hobby. J/k- been using my current band for a long while now, previous band however got hopes in it from hitting the forks too much, and had to replace after about a week.

[@alfierosa3655]

When is your next live video

[@ryangrant9403]

Good video

[@oldasa]

Good advice, Thanks

[@benjaminsmith2711]

what are thoughts on 8mm ammo. is it big enough

[@photograffitist]

No 11mm steel and up

[@charleywilsher4157]

2 good shots

[@denniscleveland669]

The “Speed Bump”.

[@johnwilson1935]

Love the sound a clean hit makes.

[@rsturb01984]

Had a fork hit yesterday with my sps only because I used my opposite hand because I seen a pheasant whilst driving down a country lane

[@camwhatmore7669]

Out of season?

[@rsturb01984]

Cam Whatmore I couldn’t give a flying fu*k

[@davidhansen9665]

Have you ever had any serious hand hits

[@СергейСтрелковский-ю2у]

Всем доброго.Конечно,создавая подходящие рогачи с подходящей геометрией на будущее это хорошо.Но не проще взять готовый рогач, распарив его паром создать необходимую геометрию?!Потом просушить в микроволновке или духовке.

[@stewarby1298]

Was gonna go fishing but fork hit I’m gonna for a mooch instead lol I’ve never had a fork hit with with my jack pyke wrist rocket type catapult but don’t get good accuracy with them but I think they best to learn kids with so they don’t keep hitting the fork or there hands

[@Cheesoidhateself]

I feel really ashamed that the smallest target I take out mooching is 30mm. 😅

[@toke7560]

Fork hits. i wish. I get the missile on my hand. And it does sting.

[@oliegrant1831]

ALL my problems are because of the pouch release.

[@jeremyhannaford1306]

You should find black, brown, or green ties so no one else will nick your gear.

[@nutthrower4415]

I notice your thumb is always on top where when I pull back my thumb rotates to the bottom, any thoughts? I don’t seem to have a problem but am interested in your opinions, thanks
