There are great " How to videos" on You Tube for sling shots but the way I was taught was

Grasp the slingshot in your left hand
The back of your hand should be pointing up, not to your left and the slingshot should be like a Y but on its side, not vertically.
Whilst smoothly drawing back the elastic to towards to corner of your mouth point your left index finger directly at the target.
Look along the top of the upper most band and line it up with the target.
Let the elastic slip from your hand, dont just let it go, let it slip by relaxing your drawing fingers.

Failing that PM Nemasis cos hes good with slingshots.
