I never knew slingshots could fire arrows, and it never really dawned on me to ask. I had a piddly little one when I was a kid, and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it, but that's definitely something that could be fun to use.

[@Wingman115]

They are fun and the start up cost is pretty inexpensive as well.

[@JonathanJONeill]

***** Yeah, I took a look a look at it on the site, and under $40 for the Slingshot you're using isn't bad, considering the hundreds a decent bow costs. This may be something I look into in the future.

[@EarlyMist]

Sweet. subbed. This is an interesting take on the slingbow. Shame even slingshots are illegal in my state :(

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for stopping by. Sorry you can't order one.

[@bbwiebz3994]

Pvc tube, old toothbrush, speargun bands n paracord n u all set. Make ur arrows out of wooden dowels, gaffa tape n razor blades. Ur state can't ban determination n creativity...yet

[@usernamemykel]

"If you're traditional, use a bow release" - um, there's nothing at all traditional about a COMPOUND bowstring release.

[@Wingman115]

Not many folks can hold a arrow notch and pull 30, 40 or 50 pound bands... If you want any amount of accuracy you will have to use some form of a release.

[@usernamemykel]

He said "traditional", yet he shows a release made for a compound bow, which is not "traditional", that's all I'm saying, nothing more.

[@tcphll]

The objection wasn't due to the recommendation of using a release, it was calling using a release "traditional". Traditional archery, by definition, doesn't use a release.

[@usernamemykel]

tcphil understands perfectly what I had written.

Very good basic video, well done! I love my slingbow by A+ Slingshots and his break down arrows. Always keep it in my pack.

[@kullcraven]

Very nice, i have tried one with the key rings and all that when dave brought out the sling bow. Nice weapon. this one looks very nice in design. Thanks for the review.

[@MM-qc1tf]

I remember that too . Dave Canterbury showed how to make DIY one at home and he's the one that got me into the Sling Bow . I love it it's freaking awesome.

[@derrickisbell3831]

Nice way to sling an arrow. Tried giving a thumbs up but it wouldn't let me . great video though.

[@Wingman115]

I had a chance to shoot a video on sling bow basics. I get a ton of questions on this subject. I hope this helps clear up some questions on this fun shooting sport.

[@Mixwell1983]

I believe if you're pumping out numbers similar to a crossbow or a compound bow that should be legal. Fish and game just have to cover their ass

[@terrybest8973]

hey bud that thig is cool i have killed many white tail deer with a old crosman wrist rocket style sling shot with a old tm hunter arrow rest and this was over 36 years ago lol lol but i been a tournament archer for 40 years and have won 90 percent of every tournament i ever entered but i always lived breathed every thing archery but yes i was doing builds like that most my life i have killed just about every thing there is in florida with a custom home made sling bow for a every long time kinda funny every body thinks its some thing new it might be but not to me it is a very good hunting tool i have always used one home made but probably better than the aj or marksman dave canterbury sling bow mine is way more accurate for sure i know that i have shot a aj and have the dave canterbury marksman slingbow but all good stuff still

How many yards can u accurately harvest big game with the S.B.

[@ajmal4149]

Great video! Please advise if I can adapt my Barnett (Scorpian I think - it has a spider marking)

[@39camper]

That's pretty cool. I did not realize how much sling bow were used. The bow fishing aspect really got me interested. Thanks for the post. Darrell

[@Wingman115]

Your welcome.

[@triggerleo]

Hello Wingman. I have the Pathfinder model. My problem is, I can't get my arrows to shoot straight for the life of me. And they don't seem to fly with enough penetrating power. I hear somewhere that you're not supposed to use the plastic fletching, I don't know how true that is. Any recommendations? Thanks.

[@Wingman115]

No issues with plastic fletching I display mine in the video. As for shooting strait try different reference points on your face when you draw until you get close to where you want to be then keep using that anchor point (stay focused on the target not the arrow. ). I index off the corner of my mouth that way I draw the same every time. As for the bands you could shorten them up. Start small taking bits off at a time until you get where you want to be. Or go to slingshotsusa.com and purchase a set of stronger bands.

[@triggerleo]

***** Thanks! I'll try it tonight

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great primer and demo on the Sling Bow, Jon. I've got the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter model myself, but I really like the looks of this one. Great shooting too! _ Bryan

[@Wingman115]

Same concept. Both will work great in a survival event.

[@Mixwell1983]

Let me ask you something, with the invention of compound bows can you still hunt with the traditional bow and if so what does the sling bow compared to a traditional bow

[@Mixwell1983]

What im saying is fish and game wants your animal dead and while traditional bow hunting is hard and now you introduce a sling bow do they Think it doesn't have enough power to drop an animal? Can you still hunt with tradtional bow and arrows?

[@leosisdetective]

yes you can

[@bluetunder40]

Want one lol

[@jimmydeshazo1312]

With chief AJs,flipper how do you set up the leather patch to hold arrows. I have crafted a paracord piece in place of the leather patch to use the arrow with the knock on it? I can't use balls with mine. Help. I'm also wanting a good aiming technique

[@Just_Enought_To_Be_Fun]

Congrats man! Just manage to hit a target on 10 meters with my transformer arrow shooting a slingshot. But not satisfied with the power. Start thinking about improving power and may transform my other round tube slingshot into an arrow shooter. I see yours is the same and works just fine.

[@sdbassbros37]

Do not shoot bass with one of these, kill as many carp as you want in San Diego lakes, carp killing is allowed at lake Hodges.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@Panslapper]

You could mod that spring load by having it slide drop down into the handle then simply slide it back up with the thumb or spring load it again with the spring inside the handle and simply have a release button...(less chance of damage)..a bit like a forward flick knife.

[@Wingman115]

+Porterwater33 6/7 I like the spring it keeps the rest in place.

[@garynaccarto8636]

I think that they could most likely kill a deer and that I even think that killing a bear could posibly done(alot of it depends on how powerful your bands are and where you place your shots) however I'm a bit skeptical in terms of how reliable of a hunting weapon it actually is.

[@DimebagDan81]

The Chief AJ models have been used to successfully harvest bears and even a moose

Is it legal to hunt with in California? You mentioned possibly going for big game.

[@Wingman115]

I'm not sure about California. I know most states are starting to recognize the Sling Bow. I know that Chief AJ had to prove it would shoot a certain feet per second and he had to preform a distance shoot as well. In a survival situation all bets are off and I would use it.

[@KD2ZTA]

Will be adding one of these to my archery collection. Thanks for the review... One question, since I only shoot traditional, can you use feathers?? Have you tried it?

[@Wingman115]

They work fine.

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

Slingbow shooting is fun. I made one out of a Barnett Black Widow using the Dave Canterbury key ring modification Which DOES tear up the fletchings.It's not a real bow and I'd hope that nobody that ISN'T an expert shot would shoot one of these things at a critter unless they were about to die. Chief AJ is a world champion shooter, I ain't. I'm sure I could drive an arrow Deep into a critter and hurt it real real bad with my sling bow, but kill it ethically (or legally). No way.

[@Wingman115]

Your right Jake it's all about being responsible and ethical. But they sure are fun to shoot and play with in the yard.

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

Absolutely John absolutely. And that's how I use mine but it's worthy a spot in my pack, just in case. I don't doubt it'd kill something, not one bit.

Find the right spines arrows for the poundage of the bands. You may have to either change the point weight or cut the shafts to get them to fly strait.

I have a normal type sling (not sure of the draw weight, but it is quite powerful) can I make it to shoot arrows without the rest in the middle? or am I better just buying a purpose built one?

+Scott Carse you will need some sort of arrow rest to get the arrow to fly strait.

Yeh I thought so... Thanks.
