Torten,
You are a great shooter. I like to shoot to bottle caps myself and they are very hard to hit, but they help to improve on your shooting skills. Saludos :wave: .

Hello Torsten,

I was noticing your stance while you were shooting. You are shooting almost backhanded. Your feet are not pointing in a line with your shooting, but rather you seem to be shooting a bit behind your body. I must say, I find this a bit unusual, at least for me. I always have my chest more open to the target than you seem to have. Do you always face that way when shooting? You have me wondering if I should change my stance when shooting.

Cheers ...... Charles

Nice video, I love to shoot bottle caps to. The noise they make is amazing. I shoot them with my .22 though lol! Its great practice for head shots on small game. I thought the camera was going to take a stray shot for a minute :lol:

Hello,my friend.I think it dangerous for u to stand in front of the target straightly, for the steel ball may hurt yourself by rebounding.

So I advise u to stand aside.

How do you get the caps to stay there? Sounded like it was a bit windy. Great shooting! I'm not good at hitting targets that small yet. :)

I fixed every cap with 2 small and very strong magnets on the rod.

I'm going to hang some bottle-caps in my catch box. :)

If I hang them on some kind of ribbon or flat band, they'll stay facing the right way.

Say... since you're not using a catch box, I'm wondering what you're using for ammo. Something cheap?

When I`m shooting freestyle, without a catch box ( I do that VERY often), I shoot with 8 mm or 9mm steel balls. They are very cheap here in Germany as we have a cool ammo dealer: http://www.kugel-winnie.de/
The owner of this shop is also a slingshot shooter. I think he sells all over europe.

Torsten
