What are the aiming methods of slingshots?

1. Before launching the projectile, the arm holding the handle should be as straight as possible, and the shoulder on the same side should be slightly inclined to the target direction. First judge the approximate distance of the target with both eyes, and then aim with one eye.

2. Practice the slingshot, hold the bow back in your left hand and control the string in your right hand. Put the body on a soft leather pad, hold it with your thumb and forefinger in your right hand, and pull the bow to play. The bullet is not fired from the round hole of the arch back, but from the outside of the arch back, and the round hole of the arch back is used as the sight. Practice firing bullets from light to heavy, and be sure to practice firing bullets on the side of the bow.

3. The weight of the projectile should not be too large or too small, otherwise it will affect the shooting accuracy; For distant targets, use the arm ranging method to measure the approximate distance of the target, and then fire.

4. The hand holding the bow should stand upright and tense, and should not be weak. In that case, there will be large displacement and shaking when launching, which will lead to errors. In addition, the middle finger and ring finger holding the bow handle must be firmly stuck outside the bow handle and firmly collapse to form a triangular fixed point with the index finger and thumb, so as not to give the slingshot any chance to shake.
