Hi bigbassfish, You should try moving the slingshot out of the way when shooting. You do this by twisting your wrist, so that the thumb and index fingers (and the slingshot forks) move forward and then toward your other fingers (middle, ring and pinkie) when releasing the pouch. This should be an elastic movement, as if you were constantly trying to make this movement but the wrist turns only when the resistance from the pouch being held back is released. You could also try twisting the pouch 90º in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). To do this, you grip the pouch with your right hand, but instead of keeping it aligned with the slingshot, you twist 90º when pulling it back. Then you release the pouch (while keeping it turned). Lastly, just check you are keeping the slingshot fork (the arms) perpendicular to the pouch when pulling back (like forming a T with the slingshot fork and pouch). I hope this helps. Best regards.
