How To Make A Rock Sling

[@NicktheMac]

You showed me how to tie that in a way I could really see, thank you! Some other videos arent nearly as clear.

[@Creekstain]

@@NicktheMac you're very welcome Nick! I'm glad to be a help. Go have some fun with it! You can practice with tennis balls or racquet balls. Set up a trash can lid and make it gong!

[@kookwater456]

Simple, effective, love it. After making a few complicated braided slings (I have too many), it is refreshing to see how simple a sling can be. If it can hold a rock and swing, it can certainly sling

[@Creekstain]

Thank you! You are correct! Nothing fancy, simple, and it works! It's a lot of fun hearing them zing!

[@FacesintheStone]

5:36 be sure to see the demonstration. you can hear that rock whip 😮

[@Creekstain]

It's crazy how good they work! I can practice with tennis balls at the dog park lol!

[@paleobrostones2023]

Outstanding job but I’m pretty sure that was Gabriel’s lighter

[@Creekstain]

@@paleobrostones2023 thanks. Not sure what you are referring to about the lighter. It's a Bic from my junk drawer.

[@paleobrostones2023]

@@Creekstain just clowning around Gabriel has lighter and Pipe and his videos many times

[@GnosticGnoggin]

I like the way you tied that ! Back in the day while out shepherding the Sheep you would have plenty of time to practice, probably get Deadly accurate with that! Good job Stain! Interesting stuff! Howdy Ya'll 🤠

[@Creekstain]

Yeah it works out pretty sweet with just one string! I plan on getting lots of use out of it!

[@GnosticGnoggin]

@@Creekstain I'm going to try and make one, I'll keep my eyes open for some good stones! 🤠

[@Creekstain]

@@GnosticGnoggin oh sweet! I hope it comes out good! I used kinda thick paracord and it wanted to twist up a little. I think some thinner stuff would work better or you could always use a piece of leather for the " pouch " and a string coming off each side.

[@GnosticGnoggin]

@@Creekstain I thought the design you used looked pretty attractive. We will see. 🤠

[@nissan350zowner]

good tip, make sure you remember the longer it is the faster it goes.

[@winstonMcB]

Pretty cool field craft!

[@Creekstain]

Certainly not very easy to learn to sling the rocks but it sure is fun!

[@-CBA-]

i gotta make me one now..much love brother

Yes!!!

Absolutely

Need to make me one, awesome video 🙂👍

They are a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!

cool

[@Creekstain]

You gotta try it! It's so fun!

Is your pup a Carolina dog? Looks like one, or maybe a heeler mix Gorgeous

[@Creekstain]

Hank is a Red Heeler / Shar Pei mix. He is a rescue from Texas. I am lucky and get to take him and his "sister" to work with me everyday. I don't know what I would do without them!

[@brianlocal3]

@@Creekstain you are blessed with that, you can see the bond there.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

The throw I learned from a book when I was a kid was holding the pouch in front of me and letting it drop. It would swing down in front and back up again behind me where I transition it to a single horizontal clockwise (as viewed from below) revolution over my head. I release at the approximate 360° point. Don't fight the process. Move naturally as your body is comfortable throughout the moves. You can even practice the process with an anchored projectile in the pouch. Do all these things and you can become surprisingly good at it. Consistency is quite important to accuracy. Just as with firearms, accuracy rules over velocity.

[@Creekstain]

Thank you for the technique tips! I will give it a try! Practice makes perfect for sure! I am excited to try your method. Thanks again, I appreciate your time and knowledge!

[@diggingthewest7981]

Ever make a fustibal? Amazing how such simple devices can deliver speed and extreme distances.

[@Creekstain]

I had to look it up! I'm so gonna make one of these!

[@diggingthewest7981]

@Creekstain oh man, you're gonna have a blast! Have fun! I used a large oval piece of leather for the "pouch". Can also utilize the "shotgun" method with a handful of rocks/pea gravel.

[@Creekstain]

@@diggingthewest7981 thank you so much for the info!

[@myspacemodulator]

Crazy powerful? Try mounting a sling on the end of a cane or staff or stick. I launched a goofball almost 200 feet in the air and almost 2 football fields away That ball rocketed so fast and so far I'm not kidding almost 2 football fields away, nearly 200 feet at its apex I'm talking GONE MY OH MY Try it. I learned how to make it on KZbin, a Scottish gent if I remember right I was skeptical, been using sling since 3rd grade when I made my first one But it's no joke, seriously long loooooong range sling on a stick

[@Creekstain]

@@myspacemodulator I'm on it! Thanks! You're not the first to mention the staff sling!

Passion on fire will you help me cut a switch and take Creek stain to the woodshed

[@Creekstain]

Lol why do you want to whip me Ray?

[@rljatfrogpondschool7283]

Greek.... I just want everyone to agree that everything that I say is right ....and most of the stuff that everyone else says ...is wrong ...is that too much to ask for....

[@Creekstain]

@@rljatfrogpondschool7283 haha dont we all lol.

[@rljatfrogpondschool7283]

I'll try to get Joanna to download a video for me this evening that way I can tell it all :-)

[@rljatfrogpondschool7283]

But seriously I don't know of course but it would seem that one swing around the head would be more effective than creating a helicopter above your ears -

[@Creekstain]

I just did what felt natural

[@Thekilted1]

After months of practicing. I have found the round and round only works for my 6' sling and 2 lb rocks. Otherwise the round the head and a pitch works way better with better control. If you have a good body. Not broken up like this guy. I find you can get lots of power from a 24" sling

[@rljatfrogpondschool7283]

And Country Boy archeology will you quit filling Creek stains ears with dog poo poo

[@Creekstain]

What's up?

[@rljatfrogpondschool7283]

Well first of all I'm just joking - but I felt insulted about you agreeing with country boy archeology that all of these wonderful carved Stone artifacts on my table came from a process of melting the stone and then reshaping it that's ridiculous that's ridiculous that's ridiculous and it's a little bit ridiculous

[@Creekstain]

@@rljatfrogpondschool7283 I never claimed melted, just softened. It's documented.

[@Creekstain]

@@rljatfrogpondschool7283 all of them? Probably not. Some? Probably. Which ones? No idea but look into Juncaceae family plants and how the Chilean and Andean Flicker uses it to soften stone to build its nest in a rock cliff face. They observed this and learned to duplicate it and manipulate it to better themselves.

[@Creekstain]

​@@rljatfrogpondschool7283also keep in mind multiple civilizations found and used the stones. This is why there are phonecian / greek symbols as well as native american / indigenous. Many accounts from indigenous saying every rock they could find was already carved on. Different groups of people may have had and may have used different techniques and technologies. Theoretically a stone could have been softened and made into shape, hardened and been used. Then found a thousand years later and someone could have carved on it. Then a thousand years later a modern human finds it. There is substantial evidence that points in the direction that man made the stones. Literally broken up pieces of stone mixed up into a geopolymer. The granite that can be made is just like the real cut out of the mine kind. Now this would explain how some of them look like conglomerates and also how stuff looks like its dyed or a tattoo inside the stone on some. Would also explain the fire hardened ones that sound like ceramic tile. I am not saying I am right just please don't discount it as a possibility as there are adequate articles and videos on it.

[@kookwater456]

@@Creekstain​​⁠​⁠ KZbin does have a translate to english function under comments now, but in a nutshell the commenter is mentioning how easy and cheap and fun it is to start slinging, and that the simplicity of it makes it underrated (in the common man’s view, I assume), but it remains fun none the less once you start it
