- How I Aim a Slingshot, Importance of Sight Picture
In this video I will explain how I aim and shoot slingshots.
Sight picture is key to my accuracy. Sight picture means, what your eye focuses on when looking down you bands at the target.
the worst thing to avoid is you eye switching back and forthbetween your target and sight.
I try to explain this concept in this video.
I hope this helps tighten up your groups.
below are links to my merch and gear I used in this video.

We all need refreshed this was a great watch thanks for all you do for the community
Thanks Dave. I appreciate you man.
Great video always good information, definitely helps to refine and correct little bad habits and aid constantly
Very well said, I don't think I've come across that in any other video. Most with an archery or firearm take it for granted, 'cuz that's usually the very next thing after learning to draw or shoulder. Very well explained!!
Thanks man. I tried to explain it the best I can. Proper sight picture is probably the biggest thing I can say keeps me on point. When I start shooting like crap it's because my eye is going back and forth and messing me up.
Just tried, and it was a big difference. Thanks!!
I'm glad it worked out for you man.
Great Video yet again mark, when we think you've covered everything there's always more,.. bravo dude!
Thanks Benji, a bunch of people asked me to do a video on this, but I didn't think I had anything to add until I watched some videos, and nobody really covered sight picture. I figured it would be a good thing to cover because when I start missing my eye starts flipping between the target and fork tip which makes me less stable in my frame hand. Sure enough when I focus on my site (fork tip) and hover over the blurry target it locks right in and I miss much less. In that shooting session at the end I just focused on shooting with this technique and you can see the results. Hopefully, it was a clear explanation. I think this can help get people zoomed in and start tightening up their groops.
Great tips, Mark! I think I need to bring my fork tip into focus more and accept a kind of blurry target, just like you suggested. I tend to focus on the tip, then the target, which slows down my shots. Anyways, looking forward to trying something new!
Loving the frequent uploads, keep it up !!!!😊
I will do my best!
Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Your energy and enthusiasm are unmatched!
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.
I like the ammo bag around the neck . Im going to make one for myself 👍
It's just a little Leather with a magnet sewn inside. Works great
Great video brother 👊🏻
Thanks Rex
Good stuff brother!
Great video Mark, you explained it all very well!
Great video Mark ! Great advice thank you ! I agree bands are key when aiming !
Thanks Mark I tried it my shots are a lot better !
Good to hear it helped.
@@ATOMark
Yes it did !
Good info brother! Always good to refresh and dissect your form
Thanks Zach
Spot on maté trying to focus on both is when I miss 👍👍
Good stuff as always
Thanks Hoggy!
It's really interesting to see how someone else does it, definitely works for you.
Maybe it's the fact I almost exclusively use some sort of longer draw but I like to concentrate on the target, although I am trying to create a consistent picture too.
Slingshot shooting seems to have the most variations of pretty much anything when it comes to shooting sports.
Ya I think the most important thing to take away from this video is to focus the same way all the time. As soon as your focus is flip flopping back and forth that where you get in trouble.
@@ATOMark Wonder if we will see you trying another one of the Chinese frames with an adjustable sight, since in theory it might be the best thing for this style like sights on a bow.
Keep on slinging.
@mrln247 na man I am not a fan of the sights at all. I much prefer an 88-90mm fork width with plain clips no sights at all and just shoot off the fork tip.
@@ATOMark I know you haven't got on with them when added to clips, but could be an interesting experiment for you to play around with a longer range pin, e.g. see if you can get one bang on for a random range like 18m or 22m just to prove a point.
Flip side when you have a system that works doing something silly and messing it up would be really frustrating.
Well explained. Great video Mark!
Thanks Andy
Damn your still got that butterfly kizz on your cheek 🫢 Great video My friend ❤
Lol ya it was a good one. 👍
thats an good tutorial 👌🏻i personally like intuitive shooting much more...also with the downsides hehe...but especially for beginners this video can give a big push forward 👌🏻
I hope so. I think this will help out some people
@@ATOMark it will...definitely! 👊🏻😎 but hey...maybe you also schould try the intuitive stuff out...trust me..its a LOT of fun after a while hehe...the day will come where you understand the "magic" from what you talk 😅
@kai_lemke I am working the courage up to try hai style speed shooting. I think that is a instinctive as it gets... we will see how it goes.
@@ATOMark that sounds really good! 😎 be careful hehe...and keep us up to date with it 😎
Great stuff, as always, my friend. 👊
Thanks Rob 👊
0.45 is very thin. Does the band last for very long?
Do you use a mirror to check your form?
Good information!👍
Thanks Doug
Mark i have a few question on slingshot power for hunting when are you planning to make another live? My current setup is too weak and i would like to tweak it to increase power but not increase the draw weight significantly
I will be going live within an hour or so
Excellent video brother
Thanks, man. I have been asked to do this video so many times. I tried to explain it the best I can.
Impresionante 😮
Today's BBQ looks very delicious.Excuse me but,do you buy each slingshot every colour?I am looking forward to see next 30m video.
Lol nope in this video I used 2 different slings. I had a band fail while filming
@@ATOMark OK,laughing silentry.I see one more time.
Are you slinging 8mm or 9.5 with the 22 to 14?
Can you replace or retie a pouch on a band set? I'm wanting to switch pouches on a band set that I am having trouble with as far as gripping it and centering the ammo. Thanks for the video.
I never really tried, but I would imagine if you could cut the tie without damaging the elastic, you probably could. The only thing is the bands would be shorter. If you max out your bands, no.
@@ATOMark Thank you
Rather than changing/re learning an anchor point, I consistently miss high (very rarely left to right)….would i benefit from a slightly wider or slightly narrower frame width?
Yes that would make a difference for sure. I shoot high with a 85mm fork. 90 is spot on for me.
@@ATOMark cheers bro…wasp apex+ is going in my basket, really want to try the gzk striver ott but bloody expensive as I dont know anyone with one
@MarkSellings I have not seen the striver. I will check it out.
The apex+ is a great slingshot though.
Question for you. Are you natural left or right handed?.
Right handed
how do i know if i lined up the forks and the anchor point correctly
If you draw infrastructure of a mirror and your form is good and your bands are stretched good and even then all you really have to worry about is your release. Make that as smooth a possible and you should be hitting very close to where you point your fork. If it's not re-check
@@ATOMark thank you so much
Hay you,
Stop that you're making me hungry! HAHAHA
lol I cast magic stone before I shoot
Lol what ever works man. Send a little MOJO my way. Lol
Are u preparing for China world championship? :D
Lol na I am just a back yard shooter. I don't think I could compete with those guys.
@@ATOMark I think u could 😉 you're a great shooter
@6and6rea6 thanks for the kind words my friend
Great video vacation agrees with you🤙🏻
Excellent video! I was wondering if you keep both of your eyes open when shooting, or do you shoot with one eye closed?🤍
Shooting eye is wide open. I kind of squint my left eye. My eyes track movement like crazy. If I keep my eye open I get easily distracted.
Spot on maté trying to focus on both is when I miss 👍👍
