EXTREME Slingshotting AGAIN! Back to the roots.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

It's definitely a pleasure to see this return to classic form, even if it's likely to be temporary.

[@jbenoit1962]

Maybe not. I haven't had a Slingshot channel recommended in 7ish years. The algorithm likes this one apparently...

[@elisolomon2114]

I like the slingshot side of things i also like the other non firarm weapons that hes shows off

[@byeluvby]

​@@jbenoit1962no. Forget the algorithm. It doesn't hold the power. We like him. We hold the power

hi andrews, have you become a flat earther yet?

@@PatriotJedi okay. BTW patriotjedi, what do you think about all gubments drawing a line around you and saying you are not allowed to leave?(Antarctic Treaty) If you don't know what I mean, read my about tab.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

@@flat-earther , Flat earthers have serious problems. They're adhering to a very old and falsified religion, and they've surrendered their ability to do simple research and arrive at a sound conclusion - the result of denying truckloads of evidence while accusing others of that they do themselves. Romans 2: 1. Some seem to have an agenda of begining and perpetuating disrupting arguments while refusing to be taught. They will not reason. They blame the Creator for their worldwide known error by claiming Scripture to say what it does not say nor mean in attempting to justify their imaginings. II Timothy I: 7. I Corinthians 14: 33. Revelation 22: 19. Exodus 20: 3. Romans 1: 25A. Proverbs 18: 13.

[@joew426]

You may have covered this in a video in the far distant past, but could you do a tutorial on the best ways to tie the bands onto home-made slingshots?

[@SuperDeinVadda]

i would love that ! dunno why but my constrictor knot keeps slipping

[@48pluto]

Good idea but if you search a bit on KZbin there are hundreds of video's explaining it.

[@Nevir202]

New version wouldn't be a bad idea, but I do remember seeing him talk about just that thing. Not sure if it would be searchable or not, as I can't remember if that wa the main thrust/title of the video.

[@kj3n569]

Another winner from the Master of Rubber Band Blasters! Joergs slingshots are always works of art, even when made of scrap wood. The new one is awesome as usual, the knuckle guard on it is great looking and practical, and it's ridiculously strong in both setups. I know how tough OSB is, and it takes a massive amount of force to break through. I'm glad Joerg demonstrated "Its Features" with the tomahawk, as ignorant people think it's the same as particle board. It ain't. It's tough driving a nail through that, which I know from experience. We use that to sheet roofs here in Florida, because it's stronger than plywood and meets hurricane codes. Until next time, Auf Wiedersehen!

[@CoastalGardening]

Yes Sir , that is a slingshot I would want . Love the channel , love the content , and very happy to see slingshots back at the forefront ! 😎👍🙏

[@jackofnone9439]

It's been a pleasure following you on your evolving slingshot journey; from basic and fancy slingshots to magazine fed crossbows and blow guns. And I've been watching every step of the way!!! Absolutely amazing!!!

[@newworldmartialartist7245]

Hi joerg, just wanted to say that I have been watching ur videos for almost a decade, thanks for all the amazing inventions and the hearty laugh 😊

[@Humulus_Lupulus]

A beautiful piece of art, Jörg! And I appreciate this approach since your slingshots were one of the main reasons why I subbed to your channel.

[@stantilton2191]

Wonderful display of the power of a slingshot. Thank you. Beautiful handwork, I must say!

[@musikSkool]

Another day, another beautiful creation.

[@SGT_RPGames]

great seeing slingshots again and YES I'd love a slingshot like that. You sir are a gem. I love watching your videos

[@outandabout259]

I'd love to see where the upper limit of slingshot power lays for humans. Would it be possible to collaborate with some giant strongman and create the most powerful handheld slingshot in the history of mankind? I bet I'm not the only one who wants to see that!

[@schwuzi]

Eddie Hall would be down for that 100%

[@waynebimmel6784]

German law limits sling shots to not have an arm brace. Hard to see the upper limit under these conditions

[@ThePries]

​@@waynebimmel6784you dont need one believe it or not. You run into another problem first wich is the pullback that is getting to hard. But i like to hit small stuf with it from 10 to 20 meters wich is pretty hard with more than 2 bands per side. So more then that is bs if you ask me😅

[@contrast-ratio]

​@@schwuzi100% would be epic

[@tresenie]

Depends how you would define it but he did make a contraption once where he braced with his feet and used both arms to pull.

[@georgeaura]

The slingshot with the hand protection is beautiful and powerful

[@dadsgametime]

I've been subscribed for about 4 years now and have watched all of your content from the start of this channel to now. Great to see you come back to the basics! Always be good content. Thank you.

[@reptilez]

Great work. Relatively quiet, massively powerful, lethal combination.

[@ArbaletesduLimousin]

Your slingshots are AWESOME ! It’s so great to see them back !

[@vitezzeleni8664]

Thank you Sir, for this beautiful blast from the past! I am following you for ever it seems and this was awesome! :)

[@terrydouglas2777]

That Beachwood slingshot is freaking awesome. I love that you carved out the finger guard for it. I admit that when you showed us the wood piece blank I could not see the hand guard hiding inside of it. Now I want to make one just like it. I have practiced Alot in past few years and I'm getting really good with it. I set my target about 100 feet away from me and I can hit the bottom of my target I use a metal pint size coffee can. I drill the bottom of it 4 out of 5 shots an that's in the total dark, going off memory where I set it. I figured if I can hit my target in the pitch black dark then I can hit anything in the daytime. Just takes Alot of practice. I love this channel, this Beachwood slingshot, the air bazooka, and his huge steel ball or canon ball launcher are my favorite videos. Although the broom launcher for killing witches and the toilet bowl launchers are awesome as well. Yes, I've seen most of his videos and I love them. Another great video my friend. Thank you from USA in Missouri.

[@valkyriedd5849]

Yes, I want one. Beautifully crafted.

[@4evermetalhead79]

You had me at “half of the brain with it”. 😅 I’m so sold. 🤑

[@gvii]

That is a really nice looking and beefy natural slingshot. I have no doubt it was a heck of a lot of work to carve that out even with power tools. The integrated hand guard is a really nice touch as well. I wouldn't be able to draw that back much at all, so it would be total overkill in my case. But it sure is a pretty bit of work.

[@DadLifePOV]

These have always been my favorite videos of yours. Brings me back to when I first started watching you years ago. BADASS

[@wombatburrito5896]

Your early videos got me back into sling shots but I also have been distracted lately. This video has sparked my interest again. I’m going to order some bands

[@Dachvidful]

oh very nice. good ol slingshot! very good. oldie and goodie

[@Thereisnosp00000n]

12 mm steel ball weighs around 7 gram. At 88 m/s that's around 50 Joules of energy. No wonder it's deadly! Good to see you back to shooting slingshots again!

[@scotttod6954]

After seeing your comment I had to look up firearm definition in Canada. Ya might have some legal issues since the cut off is 5.7 Joules.

[@axistec]

Glad to see you going back to the roots for a change! Beast of a slingshot!!!

[@johnanthony6038]

Love the slingshot content, absolutely an awesome build, would love to have one like it

[@ChuckinSteel]

Awesome slingshot and I'm stoked you're getting back into slingshots. You were a big inspiration for me to start my channel

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

A neighbor shot a 21 grain slug out of my pellet rifle, the slug velocity at close to 800 fps, which hit the can at the same grazing as your trebuchet... I mean, slingshot; the damage to the can here is virtually the same as on your can. Estimating your steel ball ammo weighs 6 × my lead slug, 6 × 21 = 126 grain with 289 fps velocity. 289 fps × 289 × 126 ÷ 450240 = 23.37 KE. The slug here: 800 fps × 800 × 21 ÷ 450240 = 29.85 = 30 KE. Your steel ball is about 2-1/2 × bigger diameter, so made a wider channel, so was making at least 40 KE at the can. I believe your setup shooting the big ball, that almost made a pass-thru of the OSB would drop a whitetail. Tho their skull is quite thick, there are at least 2 slingshooters that do harvest whitetail with slingshots. Thanks for showing. Your videos are always educational and entertaining.

[@Jack-cc3qm]

"Let me show you it's features!" It is just wood and rubber bands. I'm still impressed.

[@Snugglez187]

This is the content that brought me here in the first place, and it's still what I want to see the most. Thank you.

[@knightstar1312]

Nice!!! I grew up using and making slingshots with my close childhood friend Frank. We used it for target practice and hunting small game like pidgeons. It was alot of fun, we'd loose our sense of time and end up being an all day fun activity. But it makes a perfect self defence weapon. The knuckle protector is GREAT for bashing in a person's face when the thug charges at me after a shot to their eyeballs.

[@jayrey5390]

Her Sprave, you are a true mench! Your magnanimity and pleasure in simply being a wonderfully mad inventor and influencer, your passion and love of what you do and the pleasure you have taken in your ideas, not many people can be practically solely responsible for sparking a renninance in archery interest and innovation both with slingshot, bow, crossbow and now blowgun and so much more - its a pleasure to have been watching you for all these years and seeing your ideas develop with that aforementioned contagious passion and enthusiasm; I've been watching for what feels like more than a decade watching you make and shoot your beautiful slingshots in your backgarden (i was always worried about your glass conservatory 😅) Never stop! Ps - yes, yes I would like that slingshot 😅

[@pezzon84]

It’s soooo good to see some slingshot action again!:-)

[@geraldgessner9605]

Back to the roots! It was a joy to watch your video and yes, I definitely would have fun to play around with those slingshot!

[@barrackenbarbar7682]

thats the most beautiful slingshot ive seen and the concept is great!

[@WolfOfValhalla903]

i love seeing this return to your old days hopefully it becomes more common

[@garlicbreathandfarts]

I made my slingshot from a piece of olive tree wood that I collected on Corfu from a 500 year old olive tree. It has a natural beefy fork that will never break. I've had it over 20 years and I love more now than ever.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Olive wood is amazing!

That's a truely beautiful hand crafter slingshot. As a kid that grew up with a sling shot, I wold love to have one like it someday.

[@mackquack2929]

Really enjoyed the slingshots and your creativity!

[@markfergerson2145]

I appreciated your explanation of why you use tapered bands. The same principle is seen in the taper of bow limbs and some traditional crossbow limbs. It makes so much sense when trying to get the maximum acceleration at the beginning of the shot. Speaking of bows, your stance while shooting the slingshot-that-was-broken-and-made-whole-again very closely resembles that of longbow archers, leaning forward with arched back. That also makes perfect sense because biomechanically, the effort is the same.

[@Mixtureoiloficial]

Yours is pure genius and creativity, it is also very noticeable that you enjoy it and that is transmitted, thank you for showing these wonders built with your hands, big hug from Argentina

[@jrose353]

I’d LOVE to have that natural fork sling shot! I was very impressed that steel ball went right through the can. Awesome.

[@keithburton7516]

A very beautiful object indeed, I do not have your patience to make one but would very much like one. I used to have a slingshot many years ago that would fire a 20mm steel ball through car panels or old appliance steel with ease. It used surgical rubber tubing and came from a local gun shop I think, but it was 40 years ago. Way more powerful at very short 20m or less than my air rifle. 12ft lb in the UK. My friend cast me some 20mm lead balls to use. I still have some ball bearings so I need to make myself one. Thank you for making your content as I enjoy watching.

You’re amazing. I like your carving also as well as your marksmanship I’m impressed. I’m also a woodcarver. I have three state championship blue ribbons for carving in Oklahoma. However, I used a pocket knife and a sharp screwdriver to do most of my work. I grew up, really poor. I’ll probably still be that way when they throw dirty on me but I’m happy and I love to watch your videos keep up the good work, wild man Monk from Oklahoma.
