Default Wrist Rocket Height

No matter how far I pulled back I got about 2/3s of the way up. Im
estimating that is about the 35 ft level.


Shouldn't a wrister go farther ???? need bigger weight ?

Suggestions.


Stand on a ladder when you shoot?

New monofilament (more slippery than worn)?

New rubbers?

Skip the bottom eye on the pole and
feed direct from the reel?

Be sure you have a very solid wrist/arm
on the holding arm. If your hand/arm
gives while shooting, some of the
energy will be used in that wasted
hand movement.

I saw a "wrist rifle" that a guy built.
Normal WR attached to a wooden "stock"
with bazooka-like hand holds. The pouch
of the slingshot was held by a steel rod
in the "cocked" position. Just like rubber
band machine guns that kids might build.
