Make a Shepherd's Sling from Paracord

[@charcoaljohnson]

I have never seen a simpler and easier way of making one with paracord. This is great!

[@user-hy2ry3if8h]

Yes, absolutely. Easy does it. There's not time to weave for hours in survival situations.

[@joey8obby]

Love how this is short and concise. Not like those other videos that involve 10 minutes of talking and 2 minutes of doing. Keep it up!!

[@PurpleSwan]

Amen to that! Short and sweet and to the point (even though I don't just have some paracord laying around the house. lol.)

[@836dmar]

And years to be proficient!

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

Yeah they start with a 4 minute history lesson on the sling and then go through Many things I don't need to know

[@andycohen3365]

Usually if I’m searching for car tutorials or DIY projects on KZbin I always look for the shorter videos too

That was a great video! It was short, accurate, and to the point! I watched it once and afterwards I found some paracord and made one! It works great! I'm 79 yo and if I can do it, anyone can! Thanks for the video!!

[@HistoricallyAccurate247]

Guys I made it. 11/10. It works perfectly I have 0 experience in slingshots, I got interested in it some days ago , and I had a modern slingshot, and an old Balearic slingshot my uncle had made for me. It was very badly made, and the stone would sometimes just fly vertically and land on me , or not even leave the sling. Now I built this , and you can literally feel how powerful it is. With 30% of my power , it went so far I couldn't hear it land. All I need to do is train my aim.

[@xX072Xx]

it's sling not slingshot btw

[@baller4378]

thx for the info im gonna make this now

[@HistoricallyAccurate247]

@@baller4378 Tell me how it went pls. Btw I have gotten pretty good at it , don't give up , cuz it's hard at the beginning to control the hight and direction of the stone.

[@baller4378]

@@HistoricallyAccurate247 im kinda having trouble finding the paracord so it may take awhile, not that im losing hope tho

You can really sling a golfball with this setup. Its great for a short Par 3. Thanks for sharing !

[@bigyin2794]

Gonna try that tomorrow!

[@mrkb34]

I can throw a golf ball 180 yards with my staff sling

[@lobomalsano]

I think the golf ball would scape trough the cords. I think its better using a leather pouch

Thankyou for sharing how to make a sling...i applied it and it works well...i see others spending alot of time making a sling... In a case of survival a sling is great. 3 days later today and i got a pretty good at it. It throws far and pretty accurate. I read an article that says it can be a powerful as a .44 magnum...

[@soldtobediers]

Desert training '73 finally received class B rations. Bout 12 buzzards were just out of rock throwing range & waiting for us to move out so they could cleanup unwanted pork slices etc.. So i decided to whittle up a sling pouch from the inner flap of my ruck & 550 it into a proper sling. Seems the baseball players among us were just barely reaching them with rocks... so i snatched up the roundest of those flat 1/4 pound rocks & let it fly. The sound of it sounded like a covey of quail bustin out from beneath my feet. It appeared to spiral a bit during flight & made it to the gaggle's midst. Bastard the rock came nearest to just jumped aside & never flew! After rocking up at them several times, it was time to move out. Tickled me when my Lt. popped off with the remark... You sure proved your nickname on that one Sgt.! i jested to him, if there had been a frag in the pouch... would you have pulled the pin for me? -Former 82nd Abn. Recondo Sgt. Rock" 1/504 Inf. 51817

Enjoyed that comment as much as the video. Thanks Rock. o7

[@stormy439]

GOOD ONE SOLDIER!😃🇺🇸👍

[@Throwsticks]

I never go out in the forest without a sling. It's so light that you don't know you have it, and it's a powerful weapon with an unlimited supply of ammo. I've been slinging for 23 years and never tire of it. Nice video. That design is great and can turn a survival bracelet into a weapon. I have done that with only a 3 cord cradle but I like how you're putting more cords in the cradle even better! Subbing you.

[@JibreelProductions]

Mashallah, very nice tool indeed, I'm amazed how much it can speed the rock/projectile up. Also a prophetic weapon! May the peace and blessings be upon prophet Dawud/David! Peace

[@SamPeabody]

Good video, good instructions! Watched it yesterday, grabbed some paracord and tied one up. Tried it today and it worked great! It was my first time ever using a sling.

[@gregkral4467]

Every man woman and child needs to learn the sling, brother. ROCK on, sir! Rock on.

[@markhess6061]

Simplist and best instructions i have seen. Some guys make it so complicated. I may still weave a pocket in

[@alexandercarder2281]

Amazing 🤩 I’ve got two different makes of paracord. The first time I purchased some was when I had no clue about it and got some cheap Chinese knock off brand which actually is t to bad for certain tasks but I did more research and got myself some tough grid American paracord which is simply top notch quality.

[@deatjame2157]

Great vid! I recently made one titled You're never too old to throw a shepherd's sling. I am an enthusiast and have a nice lake to throw catfish feeder cubes into.

my lil boy say me makin mine so of course i had to make him one i was ready to cut cord to his lenght i told him hold out ur arms so i can measure ur wingspan he says dad im not a bird u know that right lol awesome tip man crazy useful and alot of fun too

[@rse5842]

Simple solutions are the best, and this is the best simple solution!

[@greenmanofthewoods6060]

just made this. I can tell you it's an excellent weapon. managed to hit my shin when the stone got stuck in the pouch, any harder I think it would of fractured. Also made a tennis ball Bolas this morning and that is also awesome. (once you figure out how to untangle it)

[@bursucalexlazar]

Made mine out of jute twine, have a video slinging with it. Pretty nice in a pinch and with some practice could feed you for sure. Made it using the Balear Islands design and tried it in their style of shooting. Extremly fun :) thanks Jack!

I agree with all of the comments below (all except the bad ones) but i have some constructive criticism, next time could you show a close up of your hands when you tie the knot? i couldn't see anything on it, but still this is amazing, i love it, and i am so excited to use it thank you!

[@jamesw.6849]

Nice man.... How long does it take before you can reliable hit a squirrel sized target... hours?days?months?years?

[@lobomalsano]

Squirrel? i dont think so. This is more to scare a wolf or other predators off your property

[@TwiWriteFlare]

That depends, how quickly do you think you could get to over 200,000 throws worth of practice? I'm not sure even that would be enough for consistent reliability, but this is the sort of tool that you generally need to be using your entire life to master fully. That is the primary reason they became obsolete in the first place; few people put in the time it takes to get truly good with them these days. They are awesome tools, but crazy difficult to master. True masters can absolutely hit a bird in flight consistently with one though so I'm sure pegging a squirrel is a level of mastery that comes well before that.

Good one! To do the figure 8 throw you must have been practicing a goodly amount of time.

[@lukylunacek7444]

@@jwinthepro and it's a bad technique, just as strong as simple one-swing overhand, less accurate than one swing overhand and with figure eight you can throw only small rocks, with simple overhand you can throw much bigger stones at the same range with more accuracy and of course momentum

It'd take some practice. Balearic slingers could supposedly pick out not just a party of the body, but a specific part of the face to hit while skirmishing during sieges. That said, as children they supposedly weren't fed by their mothers until they picked up a sling. Pretty motivated to get good.
