Quickly learn to sling with power and accuracy.

[@VinlandAlchemist]

I really gotta say... this has GOT to be *The Most* plain, no-nonsense, brilliant, and perfect way to put this whole concept across - seriously! No BS to cut through, just straight and directly into instinctual feel - this is the best, flat-out, no fluff method to own this skill I have ever seen portrayed *anywhere* on this topic in the entire internet (Yes, I research the Hell out of things). Excellent tutorial! Thanks! 🙂👍

[@panslings]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@bruno4299]

Bullshit.

[@IronGoober]

I like "if you can throw, you can sling" and the stick is an excellent teaching tool that I've been meaning to start incorporating to when I show people how to sling. Great video!

[@panslings]

Thank you! Your videos have been very inspirational over the years. You have done a lot of great work for this sport.

[@Zzero5728]

This is the best way to learn to cast powerfully and accurately, great video!

[@panslings]

Thank you!

[@davel2839]

I sling a Greek style, I will have to try this though, the mechanics make a lot of sense. Thanks.

[@panslings]

Greek is a great style, this one should make a lot of sense to you with that foundation.

[@qsprimalaccuracy9709]

I sling every weekend at the beaches. Lots of round peebles. Sometimes I find some wreckage that came ashore and I practice accuracy shooting against it, but my main practice is long range shooting, into the sea. I've mastered two styles: the Byzantine and the Underhand. I find your style pretty powerful too. In spite of slinging for almost 20 years to this day, I still get surprised with the power that a simple sling can generate. It's pretty impressive and addictive.

[@SEng34rockies]

I used a rolled up sock for ammo and this explanation to finally get the sling down! Thanks again!

[@WithinandThroughout]

I've purchased two slings from this guy, he even sent me an email back discussing this exact throwing mechanic. Overhand, not figure 8. They may seem a little pricey but worth every penny. I'm a newbie, but so far can accurately hit a dinnerplate sized target (with force) from 50 feet. Tennis balls are great, the little foam one he supplies has a ball bearing in the middle.

[@greengohm]

A friggin magician! That's who you are! Tried this technique and even with my uncoordinated body I was able to throw tennis balls around the yard in less than 15 minutes. Actually I quickly reached the other problem - the throw is too powerful! Now I plan to go somewhere safe and practice some more. Thank you for sharing this concise tutorial!

[@panslings]

Thanks! I wish I could take credit but this technique is natural for most of us. I am not sure when the sling became so misunderstood, if you ask a random person how they work they usually make a spinning motion above their head. Not many of us like the idea of spinning a rock around and hoping it goes in the right direction. But once we get the concept of bringing the sling into a natural throwing mechanic, it clicks and it is powerful fun.

[@DerekBartlettBeorn]

@@panslings oh yeah I have tried a bunch of different throws with the slings I've made and most of the time the rock goes off to the right (I'm a leftie) or with the wrong overhand release it plummets to the ground or something. So yeah I gotta remember to try this one next time we get a nice day over here, since this afternoon I just finished made another paracord-and-leather sling that should be more cooperative.

[@motobenbh4722]

That was cool. I definitely had all those misconceptions. Really clear and concise way to explain it.

[@panslings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ramareddy]

Great, scaffolded learning. Thank you!

[@panslings]

Thank you, appreciate the feedback!

[@davidslater7187]

This is the most helpful how to video on slinging I have ever seen thank you for sharing

[@panslings]

Thank you! The sling would be much more widely used if people in general understood how intuitive they can be.

[@cotteeskid]

As a training ball, maybe a hacky sack (not sure of spelling) or similar juggling balls, which is like tiny beads encased within sown material (which I have). I think hack sacks are made similarly. Great starting method with a stick to get technique correct. Curious to check your other vids if you show alternative throwing options/techniques. Cheers

[@panslings]

Thanks. A hacky sack could be a good training tool. I have never considered it. Have one around here somewhere and will give it a go. Currently working on a few other vids including a sidearm technique.

[@gregkral4467]

I am so glad I started slinging. Made a paracord one for fun a few years ago, instantly hooked, always wanted to try, but ya knw. I made a few more this year, and make it a point to get out and work out, but man, will go all day if i could, but usually have to recover for a day or two after.... Amazing how devestating those shots are, and how natural it is, and with the right length, and weight, is just like throwing a ball just superpowered.

[@rorkgoose1774]

I like that someone finally ties slinging motion to throwing motion.

Interesting technique! I learnt slinging by myself, somehow developed a way where i start with a hanging rock, slowly swing it up in front of me, then add power behind me to release low/side. It's even fewer motions, and it's really powerful. Although the accuracy might not be the best, since there's not enough time to feel where the rock is. I will try this version too, looks a good blend between the traditional spinning method, and my one. (i have a slinging video on my channel from about a year ago, if my description wasn't clear enough and you're interested)

[@panslings]

Thanks! I searched for your video and couldn't find it. If you have time, shoot me a link I would love to see it.

Slinging should be an Olympic Event.

[@markharris4539]

Really good, clear vid, mate! Nice one! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@panslings]

Thanks!

[@matthewprinsloo9558]

Thanks your technique work briliant im so mutch better now

[@panslings]

So glad, it helped!

[@TheUnseenPath-X]

Congrats, man! Great video! 🎉

[@stuartbailey6201]

Great technique.

[@AdrieJ06]

Ive always done it greek style and that got the bullets to go far left sometimes which is going to be bad news if i hit something there, tried out the technique in this video, so far ive gotten a fairly nice grasp of how to do it, but i shot it far too low, or, *too high* which is also bad, because too far = property damage, i will only do this in the wooded area i wont be hitting anyone or anything there

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

The movement of the sling seems very similar to a tennis racquet during a serve, to me.

[@gregkral4467]

I love fig 8, but not always the best for all shots but is simple and natural. every other sidearm and underhand, just need a gentle revolution and that final accelleration throw and follow through, boom! fig 8 throw, or sidearm overhead, underhand, as versatile as you need for weight you have.

[@Louis-op4zj]

Best thing I've used for practice shots is Blutac, just roll it in a small amount of dust or on your shirt (to pick up some lint) to stop it from being too sticky. Warm blutac is grabbier than a drunk uncle at christmas.

[@MrAnimal1971]

Why is this not an Olympic sport? It would be true to the time period.. right?

[@marcos2103ful]

Excelente!!!

[@KJ-ek2ze]

This weapon is cool, and people who have unique ways of using it only make it seem cooler, there has to be a golden age comic book character who uses it, "Sling Man"

[@panslings]

Yeah, it is really an interesting tool. I have never thought about the ancient legends that it may have created, cool idea! It is one of the few things we can do today to gain a legit superhuman power.

[@MegaUtubenow]

Thank you but you should edit out throwing at vegetation. Children learn what they see

[@CoastalGardening]

👍

[@CalebBuckingham-n6q]

He says ‘release’ like Derek Zoolander

[@peternedilsky9851]

My mistake was combining sling with blade.

[@John5ive]

And then you wanted some French fried taters. Hmm hmm...

[@otterhopper]

Okay, the slinging is cool, but maybe don't blast holes in ancient cacti.

[@KandiKlover]

That’s called cactus plugging and is actually a crime. Since he uses his public identity and there’s only a limited area these grow in we could probably find and report him to law enforcement.
