THIS is the style i am talking about

@pombos007 : Ah, I see what you mean. They choos the anchoir point sidewards to the eye, then aim along the bands and with one fork end. So it is more aiming than instinctive. Plase take care, an anchoir point near the eye carries great risk when the bands break.

there is a strange style used by some german shooters, where they pull the rubber past their ears, they keep the slingshot to their eye level and they shoot like they shoot instictively. can you keep more detail about that style because i used one day(instictively) with great results (bottletop at ten metres 60%)

@pombos007 : This is called the "Albatros" or "Butterfly" style. It was used by Czech shooters first, but gained some popularity, esp. in Germany. You get a very high velocity with low draw weight, so this style of shooting is particulary interesting for long range shooting. If you want to see excellent albatros shooters, have a look at the youtube channels of 1611torsten, HippelU76 and GekoGr.

Nice tournament!!!

[pombos007]

thank you very much, you greatly help our sport 

[pombos007]

i have seen this technique used by many itallians and mexican shooters as well, and i want to know if they use the fork to aim or something

[pombos007]

i am more interested in the style used by the child in the beggining of the video from geko "Slingshot" first tournament and how he aims

[pombos007]

i am sorry i havent been specific enough. my main questions is whether or no the shooters aim the slingshot for this style or of they shoot instinctively and how they aim if they do so?
