Shortstraw 473 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yes it's official...... I am quickly becoming uk's top scoring hand striker......by Christ at last I've found something I'm good at. Recently started shooting ttf with great results at first, finding better accuracy. Using scout in left hand I'm striking the inside bottom left of the fork every now and again and occasionally my lower inner finger. Im wrapping my finger and thumb around scout just under the cup. I line bands up, keep catapult straight not angled. Im obviously intermittently doing something wrong. I know the fault is me and not the scout. Any advice? Are there any dedicated ttf catapults that would help me with this style of shooting? shortstraw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All good advice as usual. I believe I may have been altering the way I hold the pouch intermittently not realising. I changed my grip to hammer grip just for now until I get to grips with my technique. I need to do some target practice. At the moment I'm just mooching about shooting whereas I really need to keep to a set distance to see what needs working on. Are there any particular catapults you personally prefer for ttf?

The natural I've got is ott, but at the moment I'm concentrating on the scout, however I'm really tempted to save up for the target sniper in small you have.....The grip really appeals to me. wuyang Quote Link to post Share on other sites
talt 878 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wait until the elastic comes off the fork and smacks you in the kisser and you end up looking like Leslie Ash. Scared to pick a catapault up now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
