Slingshot Hunting: Your Slingshot is Trash! Let's Fix it!

[@terriersman5]

Great work as always! We need more Slingshot enthusiasts like you speaking out about how great slingshots can become for hunting, too many people take Slingshots as a joke… but you definitely change the game and the view!

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

This comment right here hits at the goal of this channel. Thank you. That is a hell of a compliment!!

[@lackofevidence7459]

​@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigansbro I'm a huge airgun enthusiast. I also have a ton of slingshot. I'm just not as into it that's firearms and airguns but I'm more into airguns. Whenever someone finds out that I collect and love airguns and hunt with them a lot of times they have something to say. It's like a joke and they just associate airguns with children and that's not the case. A lot of my airguns would take down a person no problem, lol. I just wish so many people wouldn't take it as a joke because they're extremely practical. Oh and also it takes a lot more effort a lot. A lot more effort to hunt with an air rifle or especially a slingshot and it makes hunting that much more exciting.

[@EduardoDomenech-z8h]

Where do you get thats band . Down here in South america I don't knou where find it

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

@EduardoDomenech-z8h Facebook. KCB bands. There are many brands on Amazon that work well too.

[@mikereinhardt4807]

Great Video, I've always kept a wrist rocket in my survival kit. A lot more compact and easier to carry than a firearm and certainly cheaper to shoot and become expert with. Thanks for sharing...

[@garagemetalshop7975]

So glad the algorithm showed me this channel. I had no idea anyone chronographed slingshots and tested draw weight let alone missed them. The mods are really sweet and the improvement is dramatic. Thank you!

Looking forward to it! My late father was from South America and an avid sling shot enthusiast. He used to hunt rabbits and birds with their homemade slingshots and pebbles. He taught me how to make a hand slingshot out of inner tube and a piece of belt lol. He would have loved this channel!

I don't need to hunt, but I do use my Wrist Rocket for getting rope over high branches. Shoot up a lead weight on fishing line, then pull stronger cord/rope over the branch. Attached flexible saw and take down the branch. I will try switching to flat bands and see how it goes. Thx a ton for the good video. One thing you didn't mention is the effect of velocity on "bullet" drop. These higher velocities will mean flatter trajectory. Definitely a good thing.

compound slingshot? i always thought the naming was because the combination including cams...there's no cams here,he just went from tubes to bands,a different option not a new piece being combined.

[@scottgould294]

@@bloodlove93 compound bows also reduce the holding weight and increase projectile speed like he did here.

[@justincase3108]

Ok, so he doesn’t like “compound” due to cams. I understand as I’m a bow hunter. So, call it a ‘compband’ slingshot. I love the physics of the upgrade to bands!!

@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans so my marksman slingshot was probably givin to me in the mid 90s so the first thing I did was cut the wrist support off because the handle is rivided on and I didn't want to put the work into a new one without knowing I would like the frame and because its so old and I enjoy shooting the ones I make it didn't have a band set on it but I do have some tubing laying around so I have it set up the same as you set the one up in the video I haven't sorted the forks yet but it shoots great I love it again thank you for the idea and inspiration but I believe thats what's I'ma do this evening or tomorrow I got a nice piece of wa St oak for the handle and take a little height out of the forks thanks again brother

Thanks so much for posting this, one month AFTER I threw out my old pocket rocket. 😡. 😀😀 I really never thought I could put flat bands on thin metal like that. I wonder if there is any drop in efficiency with this over a set up that lays the bands flat, since the last inch or so is in a tube shape….probably not much if any, but still, it could change the dynamic of what’s going on in the band. Anyway, I would have done this before I bought some relatively pricey sling shots, but I would have bought the same ones eventually.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Lol. They are pretty cheap, I hope this helps with your next one. They are a fun little project.

I know nothing of this hobby. How does a guy, old dude, get into it? How to get accurate with it? Didn't even know this was possible. Love it.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Step 1. Go to omegaslingsusa.com and buy some pre-made bands. 4 or 5 of them. Step 2: go to your local woods and find a Y shaped branch and tie the bands onto the forks. Step 3: Start shooting whatever ammo you can get, .45 lead balls for muzzle loaders, daisy 9.5 mm ammo, marbles, whatever you can find. Step 4:Have a blast! After a while you will want to try other sized forks to see if you are more accurate with a wider or narrower fork. Step 5: practice some more. Once you can hit a milk cap consistently you are ready. Step 6: get some 11 mm steel and bands to match and start making meat.

Greater mass and much slower retraction rate. A lot of it has to do with the ingredients in the latex mix. Modern slingshot bands are a step above in formula.

Harbor freight sells Daisy slingshots for like $8.00. Wrist rocket's are the best designed sling shot's. I guess bands make a difference but their not available to the common man so bows are the best choice.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Bows are definitely a better choice for big game. Small game is where a slingshot shines. Bands are available all over now, every Walmart has em in the workout section! If you need a wrist brace to stabilize your slingshot it's inefficient. To each their own! Best of luck with your wrist rocket.

If you squirted some epoxy into the tubing that's flexible enough do you think that would make it more flat like where it would get better performance?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. If the question is would filling the tubes make them better the answer is 100% no. It will make them far worse or completely unusable. If you are asking about potentially flattening out the attachment point that might make aiming easier but will be unlikely to improve speed. I would not use epoxy for such an application. I would weld on a the pieces I cut off in a T shape.

Whats your thoughts on CHIEF A.J.S ELITE SLING BOW

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

I have no working knowledge of it.

[@vinceveloce9897]

I've watched a lot of your videos and you're obviously a great shot now realistically how long would it take a complete novice like me to get to your accuracy?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

6 months of daily, quality practice. Go watch catapult carnage or Joffe Slingshots they both have the best how to aim tutorials I have ever seen.

A tungsten carbide metal 2cut file would make your crafting have more options. I use mine almost exclusively now. Always on the hunt for new shapes in carbide but mostly flats unfortunately. G'luck

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks I'll have a look.

The more MM the thickness of the tire is, the more effective it is and the better it hits

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

You are incorrect. There is a sweet spot where the power generated by the bands moves the mass of the ammo at peak performance. Bands can be too light and unable to move heavy objects. On the other side of the bell curve there is absolutely a point of diminishing returns, where the additional latex thickness adds to the overall mass needing to be projected forward and actually slows retraction rate. Often you can dramatically improve your speed by going with a thinner latex. A heavier band does not mean a faster ball. The key is finding the sweet spot in draw and performance. There are scientific studies on this.

Cool. Neat video

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thank you

[@trapperdes]

What a great mod!

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks. The daisy F16 is my favorite to do like this

[@edysmetsers5436]

Greath,but could you do this mod,bij just cutting your 19 pound draw elastics open on one side,so that it is not a tube anymore,and would it draw the same ?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

They would almost certainly break

[@edysmetsers5436]

@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans even if you would conect them same way,and take good care of cutting then in one straight line? Okee thank you for the greath video👍
