Slingshot Forum - quoted by Bill Hayes of Pocket Predator,
"In the modern era of slingshots there's certain people who have done more for the evolution of slingshots... from box store, big name branded, rod and big tube, inaccurate shooting "toys", turning into modern ergonomic slingshots that in the right hands are capable of incredible shooting feats that can rival the accuracy of even firearms at close ranges...
These guys have had so much to do with the evolution that you really can't refer to them as just influences or innovators, but more as modern pioneers... and they are the reason why slingshot shooting and the slingshot itself has improved so much in the last decade.
John Webb... a contentious figure for many... to me he's a talented, brash young man who has the "gift" for shooting.
In 2010 when many of the modern makers were just beginning to create their first signature pieces... and then some, including me, wanted to do proof of concept shooting videos to show the way design can and does help with accuracy. John Webb and myself had an ongoing shooting one upmanship contest going on... the result of which caused and created much of the modern youtube genre where extreme slingshot marksmanship is on display. John and I shot and cut cards, fixed and freehanging, from distances of up to about 200'... and that lead to even greater displays of slingshot prowess like match lighting and harder more extreme variations thereof.
Before we shot against each other John's style was a fork's up hold... but then after seeing and then finally experiencing the consistency/accuracy benefits and improvement associated with my fork's to the side "one line" system, John switched shooting techniques and then became a multi-tournament winner and a highly touted youtube sensation to boot... He now makes many different styles of slingshots but is best known for the sideshooting tournament type models."
