Anybody here shoot slingshots??

[Scroooface]

Just dug my slingshot out after years after recently watching YouTube videos about how to aim.. I was horrible at it back then but now I can consistently hit a 2 inch target at 15 yards.. about 16 out of 20 shots.. I'm going to keep practicing and then try it out on a hosp at my 15 yard feeder

I most likely could not hit the side of a barn today. When I was a kid a bunch of us had Wham o wood slingshots and was halfway decent for a kid. One of my buddies father was a competition sling shooter. He was deadly accurate with his slingshot.

Just recently got back into shooting slingshots

Here are a few of my favorites along with the target I put together.

What I like best is that I can literally shoot them anywhere especially using clay rounds.

No secrets, just have to shoot each and every day.
I find that since I have returned to shooting slingshots really helps with shooting in general because you can't rely on technology..

I started shooting them a couple of years ago to have something else to shoot of the winter inside. It is amazing how accurate these can be.

For me it was not unlike archery. Working on visual triangulation, know your trajectory, use an anchor point like a bow. At least that was how I could hit birds as a kid with a wrist rocket.

Let us know when you are this good. I have one of the slingbow ones with a replaceable head for slingshot also.

Unless you live "someplace" that restricts ANY thing that propels ANY type of projectile ! You may be surprised to find how many places have ordinances like that in the Country . Been there ,seen that. Great things to learn to shoot (again) though, had a few on the farm as a kid. If we had some ammo like now ,,,,

lol I posted this somewhere else but yess!!! I love slingshots

The Circle of Life for a Shooter

You start with a slingshot.
Then you upgrade to a BB gun.
Next, a break barrel or multi-pump rifle—your first taste of “real” airguns.
Eventually, you step into the world of powder burners.
Then you discover PCPs, go all-in, spend way too much, and realize it’s a whole ecosystem: tanks, compressors, O-rings, leaks, drama.
So, you go back to a nice, simple break barrel for its no-fuss charm.
But then you realize you’ve been spoiled by the raw power of PCPs.
So, you return to powder burners…
…until the ammo prices and range fees make you wince.
And finally—you come full circle—
You grab a slingshot, smile, and think: "This is all I really needed."
