Slingshot long-range aiming skill

Slingshot long-range aiming skills are as follows:

The low accuracy of slingshots 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.

When aiming, you should judge flexibly and accumulate more experience. As for the slingshot, a weapon with simple structure and direct contact with human body, it is important to remember not to locate the target only by eyes when shooting, but to learn to constantly correct the aiming point in practice and judge the size and distance of the target through observation and experience.

Strength can't just depend on tightening the rubber band. There is a limit to the tension of rubber bands. As we all know, the tighter the rubber band is pulled, the greater the tension will be, and the strength of hitting the target and the initial velocity of the projectile will naturally increase. However, maintaining excessive tension for a long time will reduce the contraction speed of the rubber band, on the contrary, it will weaken the initial velocity and strength of projectile launching and shorten the service life of the rubber band.

Introduction to slingshot:

Slingshot became popular in 1970s and 1980s. Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool. Slingshot is generally composed of bow frame, rubber band and leather bag. It is usually a "ya" shape made of branches. Rubber bands are tied at both ends of the rubber band, and a piece of skin wrapped in a projectile is tied in the middle of the rubber band.

The strength of the slingshot depends on the tension and rebound speed of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the heavier the projectile that can be matched, and the faster the rebound speed of the rubber band, which can provide a larger initial velocity for the projectile. The heavier the projectile, the higher the muzzle velocity and the greater the power.

Rubber-band slingshots can be divided into traditional slingshots and modern slingshots, and their division principles should be based entirely on the presence or absence of sights and wrist rest labor-saving devices. The earliest horizontal grip aiming at bowing was Wind of the King, which pioneered the application and promotion of the principle of horizontal grip aiming in slingshot products, and was the veritable originator of horizontal grip aiming at bowing. Typical bows of modern slingshots with relatively mature products, such as sniper eagle.

Generally, it starts from the small elm tree, because there are many branches on the elm tree, and it is easy to find the standard one. The leather should be selected, which can be stretched and strong, and it is not empty when it is pulled. It takes two people to tie it, and several times with a tie.
