My arthritis will not allow me to (do as you do) . I have had to change a lot of things over the years because of my aging and infirm body . This is a good tutorial for young , healthy folks. 😊

Great video guy

.85mm bands any ammo 😂

Thankyou

What about a tungsten round?

Hey ya man greeting from marlborough. Any good hunting vids yet?

Mate, great vid. I've just ordered a sling shot from Ebay, when it arrives next week I'll try it out and probably ask you a couple of questions. Cheers man.

I thought the thumbnail was a bullseye on a horses head lol.

Gzk all the way. Hi from marlborough

Excellent study !!!

thats stance is also presents a narrow profile target in case the Rabbit of Caerbannog is shooting back at you.

I m new to this and maybe started with to heavy bands and to heavy ammo, but multiple times even though the rubber bands seemed straight, I ve hit the muscle in-between my thumb and fingers.

Thank you for explaining some of the physics involved. Been a hot minute since high school physics class and couldn't remember much. Really good comparisons for information! Thanks for taking the time to do this! Guess I think too much, but it was extremely interesting to me!

Really fascinating thanks for sharing this information. I guess these results could change quite a lot over different distances

11mm steel is the best. For over 15 years of slingshot hunitng experience, i know for a fact that the blunt force trauma is the factor here. If you want to hit a rabbit head consistently you need a good normal mouth bow anchor point. No butterfly style of shooting is included here. Ideal would be 10 mm lead but its much harder to get and more expensive. Over that weight you will get unnecessary trajectory loss. 11 mm steel is 5.5 grams and kills every time if hit in rabbit head. 8 mm steel, 2 grams does not, belive me i have tried. I also recommend 1745 tubes over bands for 11 mm steel. Because you get atleast 10-15 times more shots before they brake. Also you dont have to mess with cutting tapered bands all day long. And the speed is fairly the same compared to thera band gold. So my advice is 11 mm steel and 1745 tubes :)

Thank you very much for the detailed analysis. This is very helpful! I understand the point very well, but for me those data are just numbers and I don't have any experiences in hunting whith those rubber bands/ammo. In my country it is also forbidden to go in the outside and kill rabbits/birds/pingeon etc. Even shooting at them will cost you a lot of money. So according to your expierences is it rather possible to kill a rabbit or a pheasant with a rubber band of: 20/10 1.5mm thickness and 21mm active length? More importantly: at what distance is it possible to kill them? I know that the answers for those questions can only be answered after trying it by myself. But maybe you have some experiences in hunting with similar circumstances. Thank you very much for your efforts :).

You are missing some important factors. With lighter ammunition, the weight of the pouch and bands becomes significant in speed and wasted energy. The band's wasted energy increases from fork to pouch, and that is why tapers work so well. The smaller the shot, the flatter the initial trajectory, but the faster the drop at distance and the more wind deflection. The larger the shot, the opposite is true. The denser the shot, the better the ballistics are, especially at distance. Because of the smaller diameter for the same weight, you do have to be a tiny bit more precise and your missed shots will be dangerous farther. Harder shot like steel is best for target practice for its lack of deformation and reusability. Softer shot like lead is better for hunting as it imparts shock/energy faster as it deforms. Clay shot is great after initial target practice and walking woods shooting at leaves, tree knots, rocks, etc. to perfect range estimation, and technique shooting at odd angles and positions -- nontoxic, cheap, and less dangerous particularly at distance.

awesome from down in the sth island giveing this ago looks alot of fun from ex bow hunter and still current rifle hunting

The best tutorial.from indonesià❤

Hi there, My name is Robert Bussiere and I live in Ontonagon MI USA . I shoot simple shot slingshots, and simple shot recently came out with a new pinch pouch go to KZbin and type in simple shot pinch pouch, for the size ammo you shoot they would be fantastic. The ammo is held in the pouch by a little magnet, and you pull on a tab on the back, rather than grab the whole pouch. If you can get them pick yourself some!

What slingshot is this?

How can I get a slingshot like yours...

Great video buddy.

Thanks for the education

Niiice hit, man!

I just found your channel. Thank you. The comments are as thoughtful as well and your presentation of the information/data. I particularly love that you have both 'tuned' the bands and 'matched' the bands and ammo in these tests/demonstrations. I find presenting the science on a board with the way you put the information into layman's term to be helpful. Your video skills were just a fantastic bonus. Stay feral, friend.

Great video!! Can you please tell me if you made your target and if so can you describe how? Otherwise if purchased, where from?

Nice tip for improving aiming target and accuracy👌

Enjoyed your video, are you based in NZ? Is there a regular meeting place, a group wanting to improve their aim in the Waikato? Tony

The stance you showed in this video helped me a lot Thanks bro

Raising and lowering the anchor point helps with vertical accuracy. Lowering the anchor point as the target gets further away. The part I was struggling with was horizontal shooting, which this video solved. Using the same spot on the forks for aiming: -Raise the anchor point to shoot lower. -Lower the anchor point to shoot higher. -Rotate the forks clockwise to shoot to the left. -Rotate the forks counterclockwise to shoot to the right.

Thanks very much, appreciated. Helped me learn about bands ammo etc😊

Is that the Demon or Demon 2.0?

It's not important if the steel ball flies and hits you, but you have to make sure the magazine hole is well formed. Can't you just replace the band and shoot?

Your the old cats as. The man

You never continued this test? Admittedly I’m brand new with slingshots, though I have plenty of experience with firearms, and recurve bows, but I didn’t think there was any, or significant penetration when hunting. Isn’t it more about blunt force shock? So I’d love to see the pendulum measuring force, and also your observations on ballistic performance, ie does projectile drop become a bigger problem, amd at what point.

By far the best accuracy tips video on youtube, and a great training exercise. Step away with every hit, fantastic🫡👍🏼

1080mm draw !!! what are you, an 8 foot giant ???

I am intrigued with your Ninja92. Visited your Etsy shop and found no products available. Any update on restock or new additions? Thx. 👍

Great video! Are 1mm bands really necessary? I think 0.7mm bands should be enough even for serious hunting?

Nice to know there is someone who is power crazy with big balls😂😂😂. It would have been more fun had you choronographed the speeds of the heavy ammo especially the 10mm lead and heavier ammo

Wow..Hello, i've been Collecting / Shooting slingshot for about two years now and just find out there is a New Zealand Locally made slingshot avilable may i ask are you still actively making skingshot? i will surely wanted one locally made in New Zealand.

You are totally INCORRECT by NOT having the rear arm at the same level as the front arm. They should be level, as if you are holding a long stick/rod between them. I suggest that folks watch the YT channel "SlingshotSniper TR" to properly learn how to shoot accurately - VERY accurately. Signed, (Former) Assistant Chief of the National Slingshot Association

Immediately, upon you entering the frame, because of your hair sticking out of the back of your cap, you reminded me of a Great Blue Heron. One of my favorite birds.

Don't use lead, it's bad for everything. Use steel. The difference is almost nothing.

Im 65 years old born the Texas, raised in New Mexico. It's hard for me to listen to a guy with a sawed off pony tail on top of his head. Sorry.

I mean sure lead is going trough better as it has same mass and speed while being smaller ammo so easier to penetrate. But if aiming for shock damage as well better to use steel. As it knocks, let's say rabbit, while penetrating. I assume this, quite sure, as an airgunner and I know how pellet shape and size and shape matters. I have some rather flat hunting pellets feom H&M that expand and do shock damage while same brand has oval tip, Field target pellets, that really penetrare. One is for feathers one for fur.. all in thank u so much for a video as I will stick to 10mm steel anyway, not into lead as I can get it into my organism but when it comes to kills - both will kill, 10mm S or 9mm L
