    Thanks, I need this :-)

    Love my rock sling, but can't hit a barn if I was standing inside it. And the safest spot for bystanders is excactly where I aim...

    Great video, but I couldn't help thinking "Stop teasing the dogs!" the whole time.

    It's the best video on slingshot use I've ever seen, thank you.

    LOL, yeah I'm the same lets put it down to lack of practise. I saw a braided jute one online and thought I'd have a go at making my own. It looks cool but it hasn't improved my accuracy.
