[@Slingshotchannel]

Check out the FAQs on slingshotchannel com.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@sts989 Find my video "Review: The Dankung Panther", open the text description, click on the link to the free manual. It has a generic chapter that explains how to make and attach bands.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@ecy1712 Just download my band manual. Use my homepage slingshotchannel com, you can find it under tips/band calculator.

[@COD4helpfulbody]

those cute cats playing on the back tho

[@RynaxAlien]

stuck

[@njm2285]

The look you give after firing the bull pump speaks a thousand words.

[@EasyFingerboarder]

*shoots* *serious face* *smiles* LOVE IT

[@Slingshotchannel]

@DZgoodTimes Sure, if you use the right ammo and band dimensions plus if you draw out far (full butterfly) you can even achieve 150 m/s with TB Black. But such super fast bands tear early.

[@jomarelrasoul8048]

the cat in the background was so funny😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😀!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@starleen2211]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☺😊😀😁😂😃😅😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Slingshotchannel]

@arisingartist What would be a good source? I haven't found such inner tubing.

[@eness.2384]

Joerg i think that you used the inner tube like a tube but if you take it and cut like flat thera band i think it will shoot much better

[@bbwiebz3994]

​@@eness.2384So it is better to cut into strips?

[@mediascraps]

I love how he looks at the camera immediately after shooting the slingshot gun :)

[@Slingshotchannel]

@OssastoriumDoDs I actually have reviewed Tex's bands, they are fantastic.

[@Urudrim]

gotta love that "oh yeah" look he gives after he shoots.

[@acs123ism]

Just made my own slingshot with office rubber bands, thank you for inspiring me to do so.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@mrdanisthename Possible, but slow. You need a huge transmission.

[@Zayn_H456]

I made a slingshot vary recently and did not know what type of rubber to use this video helped a lot thanks

[@Slingshotchannel]

@ivar197 Vulcanized rubber and latex is one and the same. Unvulcanized rubber is not stretchy at all, useless for slingshots. It is true, the bands all tear after many shots, but never "catastrophically". They always tear at the pouch side, then a slap on the hand is all that can happen. And even then, the experienced shooter sees it coming as small nicks will occur first.

[@ronnieelmore9066]

I use the #107 rubber band made by the alliance rubber company. If you have about 9 inches from tie to tie its pretty fast and comparable to theraband gold. 1/16 thick gum rubber cut this length is also pretty fast. If you hunt it would be fast enough to take small game. Both of these are also very durable. If you active shoot and don't hold at the anchor point you can get 200 shots per band set. Which is a lot better than theraband gold.

[@GregBeads]

dude, your face after those babies go off... your rubber based weapons are awesome.

[@sebandersenwood]

forum link broken so here are the results: 6kg draw weight at 85cm draw length. inner tubing 8mm: 41m/s inner tubing 15mm: 28m/s office rubber 8mm: 52m/s office rubber 15mm: 39m/s thera band gold 8mm: 85m/s thera band gold 15mm: 52m/s

[@nfut88]

He is funny, creative, awesome, and has great cats. He also has amazing, interesting videos.

[@user-lenabeana]

That last shot was wicked bro.

[@TransHerring]

when I was a kid we didn't have any theraband or anything back where we used to live and we were poor. we used these really thin white elastics, im not sure what they're called, but I think tailors use them. We would put a whole bunch on each side of the slingshot and that's where we got our propulsion. can you maybe try those one time ? thank you

[@jeffsmith50001]

O.K. Question, On which show did Joerg do his first evil laugh. And when was the first use of his catchphrase "Let me show you its features"?.

[@regneva17]

yeah, the history of this channel!

[@Steppenkater]

I found his first evil laugh in "Slingshot vs. iPhone at 2:47. It's not the full mature evil laugh we know but I think it was the first time an evil laugh unintentionally slipped out of him. After that video there was no evil laugh for many videos. I'm still searching for the moment where he start to do this regularly and of course I'm also searching for the first use of his catchphrase. It's like JoergSprave-archology ;)

[@Steppenkater]

And the first time he used his catchphrase was in the video "Homemade bullpup crossbow" :)

[@juerbert1]

Wow ! That was eight years ago, not yet with your signature laughter ?

[@cjaydustie1867]

Love the gun looking sling you made, remind me of the Aug

[@Robootification]

Haha, after every shot Jeorge looks back at the camera like "Ya, that's what the fuck's up," it's awesome.

[@theenergeticturtle9489]

0:40 that cat wtf 😄

[@Dragor699]

that cato'rifle is epic, you should sell them. id buy one for sure and your smile says it all subscribed

[@TheDKninja]

Most Badass Channel

[@kasperthelost]

I miss these videos please make more insane slingshot videos....

[@phantomlord91]

Ohhh my god man! *shoot....*badass face*...*friendliest and good guy smile* This dude is awesome!

[@Slingshotchannel]

@wtfproduct Already made one, just search for it on my channel. Won the spudfiles "Ghetto Contest" with it.

[@pyrosimple]

the office bands seemed pretty good. There are also latex catheters, they are very good for slingshots

[@grimoxz11]

EPIC this guy is EPIC...jorg is the best slingshot specialist...he's the best..live on the legend..

[@Slingshotchannel]

Surgical tubing is OK, but flat bands made from Thera Band blow it away.

[@AnEvolvingApe]

I like the way Joerg is sincerely concerned for your safety. Keep hitting 3:06 repeatedly to know his serious side.

[@NaturalFork]

Excellent video! I wish I had a huge roll of TBG like that!

[@OmegaWarrior42]

You can always tell when he's pleased with himself; he grins like a little boy on Christmas morning.

[@trashboi-bk]

Very awesome video as always!

[@bletchitude]

@arisingartist & @JoergSprave I had really good luck with latex rubber tubing when building my biggest three-man slingshots (~8m, 4 bands). It was so powerful that pouches simply disintegrated and ended up using a piece of a wheel barrow tire that my mother recommended (thanks, Mom!)... Thera Band is probably made from natural latex, just like my tubing, only in sheet form.

[@JELLYSANDWICHFOREVER]

I think the office rubber chained in a 2,2,2,3 pattern would give you alot more power. You should try it.

[@danielmj011]

The cat is great! XD

[@loucadamasko6853]

Thats a very cool video! Please can you make video with paintballs?

[@MrDaveGeneric]

You can tell you get a kick out making these... dig your videos... fun for everyone, from "kids" of all ages, to those interested in primitive projectile weaponry... {:{ )

[@joshuahettinger9287]

Dave Generic Depending on the age, kids ought not to look at his t-shirts.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@WUNDENFL4MME Ja, das Prinzip nennt man "Bullpup". Im Prinzip wird der Schaft als "Lauf" mit benutzt, das erlaubt kürzere Waffen.

[@Tomaszszpak]

You are the best inventor on you tube keep it up friend :)

[@33nihilus]

Joerg sprave would make such a badass villian. So jolly. He could be like, "come here, little man, ah ah ah. Witness the power of elasticity!" Then he pulls out a rubberband gun that shoots grenades or something.

[@tjockiisboy]

yeah his ace after he shoots look like he is like an pro assasin, but then he smiles and looks like the nicest person ever xD

[@spencerbusby5207]

the camera person should focus more on the cats than the slingshots

[@SavageInsight]

When comparing rubbers, have you done a video comparing different Theraband products and similar items such as Theraband Silver tubing with surgical tubing and speargun rubber?

[@kevinolesik1500]

aww shit - i wanted to know what the muzzle velocity was of that rifle crossbow he used at the end was ...

[@Brandonlcosta]

You should be licensing all of these innovations my friend

[@Mingebagz1]

A bit of a complex question, I hope you can understand. I was wanting to build a "Jezail" type slingshot rifle , long and ridiculous, I'd like it to be able to shoot steel balls and nerf foam balls for messing around with friends. I'm wondering about the effects of stretching a rubber band, say I use medical tubing, over a distance of 1.3 meters or 4 feet.

[@Punishering2U]

Next time how about the difference of all kinds of Theraband(aside from gold) and tips on how wide or many layer could it equal to gold. Theraband gold is expensive in my country but then again I might be paying the same price or much more. Thanks for video.:D

[@schwinnprotocol]

i used road bike inner tube for my home made slign shot from your video how to make a fantastic wooden slingshot

[@souldude1000]

you always look like your having a good time

[@alexjg99]

The inside of a football cut into strips works really really well on a slingshot

[@eagle19763]

Hey Joerg, I can not find the blue prints for the Bullpup crossbow enhanced anywhere. Not on your web site. Can you tell me where it can be found, please. Thanks

[@thomashanson6607]

how fast for the thera-bow? Years ago there was an old man here in Oklahoma who Channel 9 did an interview with. He would ask the reporter to pick a weed and which direction she wanted it to fall. Range was like 25 meters. The weed went that way. It usually took 2 shots but he was using gravel and there was (as always) a strong wind.

[@mutalisklover]

Joerg, I was thinking about buying theraband gold but after a quick search it seemed that everyone thought that natural latex was the best slingshot material.

[@NorthEastSaskFarmer]

what kind of places do people find thera band gold? i heard its primary use is muscular training, so i have looked in weight lifting equipment sites. please tell me where i can find some, i am really sick of the tube bands, they always break and produce little power and speed.

[@anuarhoxha3525]

where do you buy thera band rolls?

[@suteners2111]

I love that cat

[@ScowlingWolf]

no mater which rubber is used can you recommend a way of extending the life of the rubber ??some sort of oil maybe, something that would prevent fatigue when the cata is stored for instance????

[@jeremiahshine]

The smile at 4:40 is reminiscent of Oppenheimer's when he saw what he had created.

[@myritshitstroem]

Would you please make a video of theraband - gold (a.o.) - in comparison with natural latex bands! Saw in an other video, natural latex would be faster than theraband gold, but I´m sceptic about it´s duration.

[@SuperSlavman]

What Thera Tube should i use for my slingshot? eg. red, green,blue,black Cheers

[@MsBottomofthecup]

Hello I will keep looking through all your posts to see if you say where you get the Thera Band, but If you happen to see this,I would greatly appreciate if you had a link as to where to get them at a good price ...Thank you ......your awesome love your Videos.

[@RJPhotographics]

Amazon.

[@MsBottomofthecup]

LexTNeville Thanks I will try that I was looking on ebay

[@SuperJUSAAA]

hello joerg i think you maybe dont know that there is red inner bicycle tube but its very rare to find because they dont make it anymore and my dad gave to me that red inner tubing and i made a slingshot out of it and that shoots very well i guess that shoots about 40-50 meters per second and if you want to see it i can make a video of my slingshot i you want.......PLEASE THUMBS UP SO HE CAN SEE THIS

[@kieronbevan7489]

When we were kids we used to use post office elastic bands and coat hangers. We used to have blinding good catapult wars. Kids eh ?

[@XxDollarBill]

can you compare the other colours of thera bands available and specifically how many layers of each is required to match the gold bands of similar draw length

[@OssastoriumDoDs]

Nice video Joerg! Have you tried the latex which Tex shooter uses?

[@jeremiahturner6299]

Love your videos.

[@eilselyiu8]

The cats behind you so cute, they're playing :)

[@psisky]

Do you cut your own theraband down to the right width or buy it in special sizes?

[@Number1plus0]

Dam! does this now mean we will need welding equipment to build the bullpup now? for the metal roller suport things? i was hoping it could be built in the average garage with 'common' tools.

[@brettharris1346]

How do you make a slingshot using office rubber as the elastic?

[@MrBudwv]

Interesting, Do you think adding more office rubber could bring it up to theraband levels?

[@BenArab-fx2xb]

There's some different colours of Thera bands which ones are better ?

[@pimpdogkitty]

Can you tell me where you get the thera band and how much you spent on that huge roll

[@iknowmy3tables]

"thanks and bye bye" aims slingshot at camera "FOREVER" *SNAP

[@mrdanisthename]

Would it be possible to create an electric loader? Battery operated or something that could be used for speed loading?

[@tillyhawk12]

This is amazing just made an order off your website to make a bone crushing slingshot! But I had to ask do u think you could make a video of you hunting with some of these slingshot crossbows?

[@Slingshotchannel]

dalton williams I don't hunt, simply because I do not enjoy it.

[@jankafeldrugi7246]

JoergSprave Just quick question... The Thera-Band appears in few colors like black, yellow, blue, green. The golden band means the strongest one. Does it make any difference for you? And what color do you use? Thank you.

[@jankafeldrugi7246]

The Stoned Videogame Nerd thx

[@ecy1712]

Joerg, I have a question for you. Can you make a video in which you explain how to attach the rubber to the leather properly? Danke schoen!!!

[@norakat]

How do you tie the theraband to the leather sling? Also how do you cut it? How would it tie it to my slingshot that uses tube type bands (metal arms)? Appreciate any help.

[@dcox01]

Thanks for the info Jorge.

[@heybulldog137]

i have a question, i used to shoot wrist rockets as a kid, now im getting back into them..how many times have you ''striped '' your face with a band breakage?? me twice..very painful.

[@Sartheris]

Thumbs up for the kitty in the background!

[@Keblitzer1998]

The last slingshot looks so steampunky

[@user-lenabeana]

I clicked to see what the cat was up to in the background. I was not disappointed.

[@codyjames4439]

Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for 😃

[@patrickrupp2907]

at 2:52 the cat is like " oh hell no im outa here"

[@bbrown87609]

awesome crossbow!!!

[@YepYeniOSMANLI]

Biss-millah .. ! Gut das Du das Video nicht nochmal gedreht hast ohne die Katzen ! Gibt eine liebliche Würzung zu diesem Video ! Gehab Dich wohl !

[@johnjgb6178]

Is inner tubing good enough for hunting?

[@roy7602]

just google, it's often used for sport and warming-up exercises, i think.

[@bigbadlouroma]

what do you think about the Theraband tubes?

[@DonHinAlabama]

Where the smeg do you get that much theraband?

[@05you2]

Where did you get the role of theraband and how much was it (per meter/foot)?

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

I can't belive the difference between the Thera band like omg.
