Longers7 720 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Went out this evening with the catty, was trying to hit pigeons from a sitty tree but just couldn't hit one! Anybody got any tips on where they aim when shooting an elevated shot? I tried everything but still shite :-/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Aim lower eg if its a little below vertical then aim for just below their breast If its straight up i will aim a little bit forward of the target Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No never, most of my shots are elevated shots at steep angles, you just need to practice and it will just become second nature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocset 91 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you keep the same anchor point then shots up and down will hit higher than normal. If you anchor close to your eye the difference will be less pronounced than if you anchor in your cheek or on your jaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Longers7 720 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 aiming straight will make the shot rise higher than the intended target tho, same as shooting with a rifle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brookie 1,193 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 aiming straight will make the shot rise higher than the intended target tho, same as shooting with a rifle? never in a million years mate .the only time youl get that happening is when your using ammo thats to heavy for the elastic your using so effectively your lobbing it .if ifs going higher than your intended target then thats the shooter himself . not because your aiming straight .a catapult is basically a short range weapon .hopefully youl get some spare time back home in the autumn and take me up on my offer il come over to bristol and have a day out with you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
