Here is a second video of Dgui's pickle fork shooting BB's at a can at 10 Meters 20 shots. This is a seriously accurate fork once you figure out how to shoot it. I know it looks like a toy but with proper bands is is a true pocket poucher with the potential to kill small game. I have worked up slowly from BB shooting to 3/8 steel and .31 cal lead and it smokes pidgeon sized birds. I believe the accuracy comes from the way it is held. Flat forward in the holding hand and a twist up of the thumb on the pouch and it becomes an extension of your pointing finger. Point and release. In this video, I probably have shot the my best string of shots in the last year with any other forks. I've done it again today, it is repeatable. Give it a look and make your own, the PDF is on the shared design at SSF or MXred can post it. Hope you like it.

Hy Philly,

That's good shooting, and an interesting shooting style.

Mel, the joint of my upturned thumb just touches my nostril, putting the pouch right under my right eye which allows for allignment with the V in the fork. The only adjustment needed when shooting is for up and down. Any misses are caused by a bad release. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the explanation. No serious shooter would dismiss the Pickle Fork as a joke! If you can hang a rubber band around it, you got a slingshot. Accuracy comes from the person that uses it. _________________ "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Great shooting Philly,
I believe the reason the PFS is so accurate is because of how close the bands are when tied to the PFS, For eg..
On a normal style fork .. The bands are say 2inches apart... SO on release the bands are actually pulling the pouch from each side away from eachother... To return to their natural starting position .. 2 inches apart ..
Whereas the PFS has the bands literally right next to eachother.. This mean s when you release the bands they only have to travel in a straight line forwards.. Generating more power and more accuracy as the ammo is literally shot in a straight line rather than 2 forces pulling against eachother trying to even themselves out to create that straight line .. I have shot my version of the PFS for a while now and this is what i find in my experiences ..
