Hi,
The DANKUNG team asked me to be the independent user that determines the 3 winners of the 'Dankung lucky game'.
So, there are 41 users in the list above, and each has been assigned a number. I will draw 3 winners with the 'Dankung lucky fun' button, posting a screenshot of each of the winning numbers.
7 hour ago I received the '2018 aigle rosewood toucan' . I ordered it from DANKUNG directly, arrived here after 9 days. It's a surprise at first sight. I have been shooting 'Toucan' for five years, but this '2018 Agile Toucan' really exceeds my expectation.
It's neat, a little shorter , much thicker, much aesthetic than its predecessor. What I love it the most is the wood thicker handle, super ergonomic, it fits my hand like a glove. It looks like a rare precious ware rather than a common slingshot.
Installing the flatband is easy for its creative tiny mechanism at forks.
If you love slingshots and you think about adding a new one to your fleet, this 2018 Agile rosewood toucan is the best choice. Just be prepared for a new shooting experience!
I have just ordered red precise bands and I am wondering what is the best cut for 11mm lead balls
Thanks for putting this up. Ill find this very useful once im ready to start using multiple bands or loops. A quick print saves a bunch of time with ruler and pen.
I am shooting a POM (plastic) X6 slingshot, with 1745 tubes and 8-10mm steel balls.
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.
This last picture can give you a better idea on how to grip the slingshot.
Unfortunately, I don’t have one of these slingshots, so I can’t take a picture to show you the grip myself.
I hope this helps.
Basically, you should copy the grip in this picture, but with your slingshot the thumb and index finger wrap around the slingshot, rather than pushing against it. In this case, the pushing is done by the hand, the part between your fingers.
You can see how the middle, ring and pinkie fingers wrap the handle, which is thinner at this lower portion of the handle.
