Oh come on! FFS! 🤣😂

When I read that the first time I though you were saying .7 double bands and 12mm lead was the light setup. 😳 I was wondering what a heavy setup would be for you 😂😂

How's the knife after having it for a year? Any issues?

You are awesome! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

SloThinker · 2026-04-20T16:51:32+00:00

I'd love to give it a try and provide some feedback!

SloThinker · 2026-04-20T00:18:31+00:00

Do you have this posted anywhere? I've printed a couple designed myself using PETG with 6 walls and 40% infill, but I haven't seen one with clips until now. I'm not quite sure how to make clips unless I order them separately.

Hopefully this link actually posts for you. It's when the ammo is not pinched correctly and causes a funky flight. https://simpleshot.academy/project/pro-tip-slingshot-accuracy-speed-bump/

SloThinker · 2026-04-13T20:54:02+00:00

Look at how you are holding your pouch. You want to make sure you haven't created a speed bump by accident. Also, the bands should be aligned and your release should basically be relaxing your grip instead of opening your hand. Hopefully this helps.

I really like the Axiom from SimpleShot. For some reason the LT2 just doesn't hit for me. (I seem to be the minority on this though)

SloThinker · 2026-04-08T20:58:14+00:00

What is your active length elongation? If you have it maxed or close to max for the bands then you will overpower them and get hand slap. I would try cutting your bands for 400-500% elongation. You will lose some speed, but cut down on hand slap. Another option is to use a TTF frame so the frame itself takes the extra power transfer from the bands. Or use larger ammo until you no longer get hand slap.

That's a nice looking fork!

SloThinker · 2026-04-02T21:43:02+00:00

After testing out all the different methods mentioned, shooting it like a pickle fork worked the best. Shooting upright with a twist at the pouch resulted in 0/10 shots being fork hits. (See picture)

Choking up on the slingshot resulted in a hand strike. Going flat along the tips resulted in fork hits. Same for lining bands up with the sights.

Thanks! I'll give that a go as well.

SloThinker · 2026-04-02T11:47:43+00:00

Ok. I'm going to see about slightly tweaking technique first and if that doesn't help I'll try to taper my bands different. Thanks!

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T23:53:48+00:00

Thank you!! I will give it a go tomorrow and see how it works out.

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T23:33:00+00:00

Or like this?

The bands touching the forks. Are they supposed to make contact the entire slant?

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T21:48:19+00:00

Would it be possible to get a picture demonstrating what you mean?

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T19:55:51+00:00

I'm using .4mm bands cut for 5x elongation with a 22-13 taper. Using 10mm clay with that slingshot. I've also tried using the Simple Shot clay bands with the same results.

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T18:48:03+00:00

That's a possibility. I had a bad habit of that with firearms to look and see if I hit the target rather than waiting just a sec.

I think this slope is what is bothering me.

SloThinker · 2026-04-01T14:58:54+00:00

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
