How to aim the slingshot?

The principle of slingshots is the same as that of bows and arrows, which are all launched by ejection force, except that slingshots use projectiles while bows and arrows use arrows. In ancient legends, the gods of Mount Tai love hunting, and they must use slingshots to hunt. The Journey to the West and Jiro in The Legend of Shen Feng are one of the gods of Mount Tai. They often hunt all day with hounds and slingshots.

Slingshot accuracy

Being short is a natural defect. The accuracy of slingshots is never comparable to that of firearms. Accuracy largely depends on the archer's way of pulling the bow, the stability of holding the bow, the judgment of the target distance (the judgment of the tracking point), the type and proficiency of the projectile, which is similar to archery skills.

Personal experience and other factors account for the vast majority of the factors that affect the accuracy, but they are not affected by the environment. After all, the range of slingshots is generally only tens of meters, and the entertainment range is 5~ 15 meters. Some professional slingshots like to challenge the shooting distance of 20~40 meters or even 100 meters. At this time, we should consider the wind direction and speed. So low accuracy or instability is the eternal disadvantage of slingshots.
