PocketPredator.com A simple method for keeping up your accuracy when the weather makes it difficult to shoot outside. Shoot at very small targets, like matches or Q-tips... and once you can hit the body of the stick easily... work on hitting just the tip... once you can hit the tip fairly regularly, work on just barely scraping the tip, as in what has to be done to strike a match.
The matches used were Penley strike anywhere brand... the ones that finally lit were two that were fused together in the box... side presented to the shooter so that it appears as one, and the sight picture is the same as shooting at one match.

Very cool trickshot... the hardest I've done with a slingshot so far... harder than even the "Winchester '73" shot I got on video.
In all it took about 15-20 minutes to do and video all these shots today. By looking at the shadow cast by the long post in the background, it's easy to tell. The camera is on 2.5X zoom so the match can be seen, and the distance from shooter to match is 27.5 feet.
