  • Good video Keith mate. I'm shooting quite well but every now and again I get a shot going an inch or so higher than the target and could never work out why.... after watching this I'm assuming my bottom fork is slightly further forward than the top. Something to keep an eye on. Great tip. Cheers fella and happy shooting

    @robstrong5734@robstrong57344 жыл бұрын

    • No problem rob, yes I would say that's what your doing. If your bottom band is retracting faster then it will force the ammo up. Ita quite important to get the forks level!

    @andyquelch662@andyquelch6623 жыл бұрын

    • totally depends on what is your dominant eye is andy, if your left eye dominant you want to be holding in your right hand and if your right eye dominant you hold in your left and like me. if your sat down, point at a small target with both eyes open. then close your left eye while still pointing. if your finnger is still on the target your left eye dominant if its not then you are right eye. simple!
