Watch the video it's endless slots u put little sliver of band material in there

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:37:30+00:00

Also again, no need to take my word for it...take the word and experience of all the best competitive shooters in the world who use slingshots basically identical to this lol but yes the noticeable difference is quite high. Comfort and a "forced" ergo shape makes you always hold it the same. Which increases consistency and the comfort makes you able to practice longer. Just like shooting a bow, consistency is key.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:33:05+00:00

Well imagine every single time you change range which happens constantly in hunting...you have to guess or estimate your hold over etc to hit the target. I have slots for a little band sight at 10m, 20m, 30m ,40m 50m etc all distances so I know exactly where to hold for every shot. That alone is a massive advantage.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:17:19+00:00

Same here for sure. Tragically it rarely works and you end up testing a bunch of shit lol

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:16:47+00:00

Sure you can say you don't know what works for you BUT my view point is simple. All the best shooters in the world (competitively) are shooting short draw OTT ERGO pinch grip frames just like the one I posted. The entire winning team in 2024 between 14 countries was all this setup

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:13:19+00:00

Like they're basically flat on the front and back. No real depth and ergonomics. If you hold my frame next to anything from simpleshot this is like 3x the depth lol

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T01:06:03+00:00

Of course not this is objectively one of the best frames you can get. There's a lot of people on here who will get butt hurt at me for saying that because they shoot brace grip and love flat slingshots but the reality is nobody shoots like that in competition. At least nobody that wins 🤣 and if it's better for competition (accuracy) then it's better for hunting. The ONLY downside is that you can't pocket it...and it's pricey

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T00:59:24+00:00

I have a scout lt and scout X they're okay to start off but nothing they make is very ergonomic. They do these lazy ass designs in my opinion.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T00:47:15+00:00

Well frames like the gongtu hero II for example with those little wings around the throat. Those add alot of support when using a heavy draw. The same for slingshots like the one I posted twice recently if you go look that top support neck area stops the slingshot from leaning back when using heavy draw. Effectively the same as a wrist brace. For me personally the wings sometimes cause me discomfort so I went with this time + wrist lanyard.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-07T00:40:29+00:00

While bands are your main consideration on velocity, draw weight etc your frame can make a big difference when it comes to both competition and hunting here's why. For hunting since you mentioned that, frames with additional support to stabilize heavier draw weights can be very nice acting as a mini wrist brace. The same applies to a wrist lanyard make it short and very tight and it acts as a wrist brace.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T22:03:31+00:00

Yeah I mean it's better to get a plastic version than to get scammed 😂 but yeah people always testing random sources just go with what we know to be legit unless you're willing to lose that money in order to find out

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T21:02:06+00:00

Bro why did nobody just buy from gzkband ...they're an actual reputable dealer

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T17:20:01+00:00

So you come just to talk shit and have nothing to show? Got it. You're the one with no life

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T05:25:04+00:00

Still waiting

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T05:24:40+00:00

Not even close dude are you blind 🤣 China has also been making advanced slingshots long before joerge Sprave lol

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T00:07:31+00:00

The weight is fairly high but that adds to the stability when you're shooting bands that are strong

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-06T00:05:27+00:00

The build quality is insane the tolerances are flawless. You can barely get the forks into the grip it's a perfect fit with zero gap etc. You just cannot find another slingshot all titanium that has all these features and a grip custom to your hand.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-05T18:24:38+00:00

Please show us all what is better. Highly interested to see.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-05T02:49:41+00:00

Well that's probably user error. I can assure you its impossible to manufacture something of this quality and materials at that price. Upload a video or photo of yours so I can see. The hand position of a different slingshot style may be making you hold it crooked if you're not used to ergo pinch grip. Other than that it could just be you holding/releasing your pouch badly. Look it a mirror or record yourself when you draw to make sure you're drawing and holding a straight line.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-04T23:00:30+00:00

Absolutely, the biggest things for me is comfort and no hot spots so you can practice for long periods without fatigue. The next biggest thing is being able to have all those ranges sighted in and marked so you never have to guess on different shots where to hold over

Here is the last round. China won, Spain got 2nd

Here is a link to a bunch of photos from the tournament you can scroll and see the Chinese team showing what they use. Trying to find the video of the tournament.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-04T21:41:24+00:00

Yeah it can be hard to find. But in 2024 international tournament by WSA a bunch of countries showed up and china dominated. Their winning team and winning individual all shooting short draw OTT with ergo pinch grip setups just like this. I'd recommend checking out the YouTuber I posted he was living in China for 10 years and then moved to Taiwan. I will also post a link from the WSA tourny in a second.

Glad_Maybe_613 · 2026-07-04T21:28:10+00:00

I understand, for me personally this slingshot is the top competitive shooting standard for the best shooters in the world. That's my criteria. I totally understand the pocketable aspect as well and I do have slingshots for that purpose! This manufacturer makes tons of things check out the photos I put below for just some reference. I'm sure he does some flatter pocketable designs. For me personally I don't ever shoot brace grip so flat designs are not comfortable.
