ASK SIMPLESHOT YOUR SLINGSHOT QUESTIONS
Slingshot release / release aids.
ARE THEY WORTH IT? ARE THEY CHEATING?
Here's an interesting question. The topic is slingshot, releases, or release aids, and whether or not they are helpful and whether or not they are cheating.
The answer is fairly straightforward. If a release aid helps you get more out of your slingshot shooting, enjoy it more, and feel more fulfilled, then we hardly recommend you stick with it. Slingshot shooting is all about developing a skill and having loads of fun doing it, so if it helps, go for it.
As far as the cheating question goes, it would definitely be considered in an official tournament. WSA rules say that you cannot use anything but your fingers when shooting. So, if you want to compete, do not rely on any kind of aid. But if it helps, you have more fun, have fun.
This season we will be releasing regularly all season long. We have a lot of questions this season and we'll be sending them out each day!
Give us a like/rumble if you agree and stay tuned. Lots of slingshot goodness headed your way!
