The TORQUE: Revisit in Reverse!

#canvandal #slingshot #catapult Every now and then I get out a frame I haven’t shot in a while. Today I’m revisiting the Torque Slingshot from SimpleShot and I’m shooting it a little different! Enjoy!

[@SonoraSlinger]

Orange is the more accurate fork. The corner of the firk tils is broght orange, and is very easy for the eye to pick up, giving you a better sight picture. I imagine, when paired with orange bands, you could shave the pubes off a crick pig from 50 meters, every day of the week. And 6-8 times on your birthday.

[@sandstorm6605]

I started using it the normal way but I put my clips on the wrong direction yesterday by accident and yeah, it feels better in an upside down position. To me it feels like it allows my hand and arm to support the draw weight of the bands better. I’m shooting a 25-15mm taper (short draw) and it feels solid. Feels like it works pretty well for everything up to about 7/16 steel. 5/16 freaking zips!! (I’m using a bit softer draw band at the moment. Precise 3rd gen .5) (Sorry SS, much love 👊, I’ll try yours this evening 😬)

[@neilclaydon2038]

In my own experience, the torque performs far better with looped tubes, i tried bands and clips once but seemed to always hit high, I much prefer 1636 looped tubes with 8mm steel

[@canvandal4503]

Yeah that’s the good thing about the Torque... It works great with either bands or tubes. I need to shoot tubes on it a little more. I might break some out this evening. Thanks for the feedback brother! You’ve inspired me!👊

[@neilclaydon2038]

@@canvandal4503 just my personal preference, I always understood tubes to be inaccurate in comparison to flats until I tried them, I seem to be more consistent with the torque/tube set up than any of my others, great video BTW👍

[@forksandspoons7272]

I've never held a torque, early on it was the model I used for my first board cuts. I ended up with a passing resemblance to a torque, but definitely not a copy by any stretch of the imagination. I suppose mine is closest to the torque "upside down" My top fork tip is a good inch or more above the knuckle of my index finger on fork hand. Once I learned to adjust my anchor, I found it provides a very clear forward aim point. In terms of drawing and fire quickly, I'm the most accurate with that sight picture.

[@canvandal4503]

That is awesome brother! Thanks for sharing!👊

[@FTA4evr]

It's funny but I just had my own Torque out to shoot just now for the first time in months. I have it banded up with SS 0.5mm 25-14 and shoot 3/8" ammo. I put a nifty paracord wrap on the handle that some KZbinr did a DIY video on a couple of years back. I like all of Mark Seljan's designs and I'm in the process of reproducing some of his natural frames. I shoot mine upside down too, but I'm not very smart.

That’s awesome brother! 👊🙏

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

[@tomt8915]

Which one you like more looped tube or flat band?

[@canvandal4503]

Brother I’m gonna have to go with flat bands.🙏👊

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

Would you say over the top is more likely to give you a return to sender then through the fork ?

[@canvandal4503]

That’s a great question. Fork hits are the result of bad form. I don’t believe one orientation is more susceptible. With good form a frame hit can be avoided on either.

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

If I put wide taper bands on a slingshot does that give me more power.

[@canvandal4503]

This is an old video I made that may answer the question. Give it a watch, and if it doesn’t feel free to ask me any specific questions you have.kzbin.info/www/bejne/namrqn2ca7d5rposi=DqYDOBjuRjDJfuea

[@bikramjeetsidhu9749]

Torque was the first slingshot l purchased from Simple Shot. I got it in black, a mistake as shooting with black bands causes some difficulty. I purchased an orange ocularis for this reason. At the moment my torque has 1632 looped tubes and they send 3/8 steel balls flying in full butterfly. Did suffer some frame hits in the beginning but l am fine now. And one more thing, it l buy another torque, it will be orange😄😄😄

[@sixstringbayonet8808]

I don't own the torque, but hear me out. I'm with you on the upside down. I always shoot low with my Ocularis at first. Because I'm trying to keep the shooting device downwards, away from my eye level. I eventually correct it but I can see where shooting this frame upside down helps with my particular problem. The torque, upside down, keeps your wrist, palm and fingers low (I could've said "hand" but whatever) and it gives the shooter a sense of security, knowing that the hand is low but the actual shooting platform is higher, so your hand doesn't have to be as much in line with the eye. I get and I buy it. And I will next :) I'm waiting on a Uniphoxx Enzo and a Wasp Devil to arrive. But i promise you sir, the next slingshot I buy will be the Torque, because of your video.

[@canvandal4503]

Right on brother! ThNks for the feedback! 👊🙏

[@brianfarr706]

I am a new shooter and I have no idea what a taper is. I own 3 slingshots, a scout LT, a torque and a cheap $10 sling shut off for Amazon. Oddly enough I shoot the torque upside down Because it feels more comfortable that way. I am a left-handed person that happens to shoot right handed. Perhaps that has something to do with me shooting it upside down. If you can make a video going more in depth about tapers then I would appreciate it.

[@canvandal4503]

Right on brother!🙏👊

[@canvandal4503]

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment! That is wild how you to shoot the torque upside down! I’ll definitely get to working on some videos!

[@datnotme9921]

Really weird 'cuz I've known about the Torque since it came out. Yesterday afternoon, I was looking at the Torque. Actually if you go where the pictures are of it before purchase, scroll over until you see them grip it. They're holding it "handle low side". Notice the gap shape, one side drops lower with regards to which side the handle is laying in hand in picture. Its what detered from buying it but, 😃☺🙃☺🙃😁i didn't give it a thought of flipping it over👍🛒👀 I want the Scout LT in blk 1st, since I'm accurate w Scout XT. I like the Tater. Q: is the texture on the Tater (in a thumb supported grip,) is there texture where the thumb sits? I've wrist surgery, a steel screw in wrist. With Scouts they have the thumb curve cut shape. Is there a hole for lanyard on end of Tater frame? Man...I might just order that Tater. Rolling up bands, sliding 'em in frame. Do you notice any band breakage at them points? Thx for sharing!👍👀

[@canvandal4503]

Thanks for the feedback brother! As far as the Tater goes it is about as basic as you can get. That is the appeal to me. There may be a little texture for your thumb if you grip it that way but not much, and I do believe mine has a hole for a lanyard. As far as the scout LT goes, it is my all-time favorite frame! I would definitely pick one up! Thanks again for stopping by brother! 👊🙏
