That was some amazing squirrel hunting! I never knew squirrels were actually red circular discs sitting in a tree! I have A LOT to learn about squirrels.

[@homosassa2tellico388]

Smartass. Slim chance they would bag a squirrel with a slingshot while filming a how to video 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@jesselee2549]

So they named the clip before they filmed and edited it the did they...? It didn’t cross their mind to cut out the part where they didn’t find anything and just name it something else? It’s click bait.

[@joshuagoodrich1973]

@@jesselee2549 EXACTLY they made a "squirrel hunting" video and just chatted and shot targets

[@mancavecreations6535]

4 years of slingshot hunting and I grab it first now instead of my rifles I definitely recommend it to people that hadn't tried it

[@LukePighetti]

We can't slingshot hunt in Maine unfortunately. Makes me sad.

[@aidanco5265]

Same in oh

[@Wildanimal864.]

How about no😂😂😂

[@bambehdeluxe8751]

@@LukePighetti It's illegal in my state but I don't care. This country was founded on the concept of FREEDOM. If I want to kill a damn squirrel with a primitive weapon I will.

[@jackiesanders489]

As an 81 yearold Mo. Ozark hillbilly hunting skwrills, and rabbits with a hickory fork sling shot and rubbers made from pre ww2 red rubber innertubes was just a daily thing for me and same age cousins to do , never dreamed one could buy a fancy sling shot at a store, lol, good vid. :)

[@NavajoNinja]

You should call your video,"Two guys talk about Hunting Squirrels With Slingshots"

[@muzislingshots1413]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@oppomine6306]

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@johnlivingston9217]

hahaha... didn't know you can sling shot with jabbering mouths, maybe this is for peta sport, you get to wear all the hunting gears but without the killing lol

[@drewgrows7765]

I thought the camouflage was a nice touch

[@nevenkerekes8997]

makes so much sense

[@Tubefish07]

A better title would have been “Squirrels watch two guys talk about hunting squirrels with a slingshot “! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

[@kyguy-wr6bo]

There was no hunting

[@andreas286]

Jeremy Coffie nada one squirrel was harmed in the making of this video. However the tree's bark was irreparably damaged.

[@daveufirst]

There was hunting--just no squirrel.

[@didididuh]

There may have been hunting but no killing, two different things. Like fishing and catching.

[@junkname9983]

most of the time spent hunting is just sitting around waiting anyway

[@carteraufdenkamp11]

kyguy1980 Yes there was, they just didn't get anything. 🤦‍♂️

[@arunmoses2197]

It is actually very true that you can be very accurate and get a lot of energy out of slingshots

[@saldomino1639]

Great Video ! Thanks for sharing !

[@TheGatortooth]

This has to be one of my favorite videos I’ve watched. We anticipate this ending with an ultimate result. It’s not about that. It’s about getting out there with nature, learning a concept from a newfound friend. This was just an awesome and outright wonderful video. It had a story line with value. Everything seems so commercial nowadays, but this had soul! Thank you!

[@ParisFinesse]

Great video. The accuracy was amazing!

[@tydengr]

I love sling shot hunting.

[@didididuh]

I've been putting my antennas up with a sling shot for over twenty years.

[@armandogonzales9304]

I also am a HAM Radio Operator. The process of using a slingshot to throw your support cord of your antenna wire up into a high point is true.

[@indica77]

What tubes were you using?

[@whitefeatherslinger8194]

Jim Harris the man behind the sps slingshot is a greAt shot and that sling the 2 of them are shooting is Jim’s sps beautiful slings to use specially for hunting although I use flatbands nowadays much quicker but don’t last as long as tubes but much more accurate also good vid, u can’t hunt or shoot at something that’s not there but if Jim got his chance he woulda bagged with it for sure ✌🏼👍🏻💯

[@shootgroundhog]

I'm glad slingshots were finally made legal for hunting in Kentucky. I've really been enjoying hunting this way. It's a little more challenging than a shotgun or 22 rifle.

[@garageratz2692]

Kentucky Windage 22 GARAGERATZ watch my video’s

[@catfishjohn56]

why elgal

[@MRREE-zw6xc]

Is it me or is it when you are out and about with no hunting tool there are squirrels galore and run in front of you and play about. And when it come time to look for them they are hiding? You think they know?

[@doughesson]

What if the game animals are stalking you & reporting back to a central location?

[@Trailtested]

Glad to see you got just about 1 million views for bird watching...

[@homosassa2tellico388]

Glad they took the time to put together a video explaining all that’s involved in the sport

[@lukechristian1436]

I have been using the slingshot for 31 years already and I also have a custom made stainless steel slingshot.

[@MaureOutdoors]

I need to pull out my old wrist rocket out of the cupboard and sling some marbles!

[@elpresidente3397]

Great video I liked the targets

[@nakoawarrior3186]

When I couldn't get bands for my wham-o ,....I epoxied the slots shut,... then drilled holes in it and put in 1/4 inch rod and put round tubing on it. The wrist rocket sling shots still out do the others. If you want consistency you need a wrist brace. Unless you use weak bands,... to know the power of your slingshot you need to know the speed and weight of your projectile.

[@j.snyder4957]

no one that shoots competitive uses a brace. Thats only for the old fashioned wire framed Daisy F16 types...

[@fixedfocusmediaofficial]

I like slingshots with a wrist brace. I usually go for heavy pull bands to which is something that a lot of slingshots don't come with out of the box.

[@daggerg8451]

They do you just have to cut them to your size

[@Caintuckee64]

"in an attempt" that's the disclaimer. Still an informative video. I prefer lead ammo because of the richochet effect.

[@Halismyname]

I recommend looking at videos of squirrel launching. Very satisfying.

[@iai6701]

What is the thickness of your rubber ?

[@jwoody8582]

Just curious: Why were slingshots outlawed in Kentucky?

[@randomvideosfilmcollection3161]

J Woody most likely at one time it was found not ethical and then was again but with restrictions

[@shootgroundhog]

They were never "outlawed" in Kentucky. You just couldn't hunt with them.

[@iamrocketray]

look at them lol, all geared up in camouflaged combats to take on the mighty squirrel.

No squirrels were harmed in the making of this video...

[@kickinthegob]

In the uk most ppl hunt with slingshots I use couple flat bands and 14mm lead balls i shoot about 26ft

[@doughesson]

My first backyard hunting in Tennessee was with slingshots. Mom grew up during the Depression.She was tired of squirrels & rabbits so she wouldn't eat what my brother & I would kill or knock out of trees for the Scottish terriers to kill.

The best part about hunting is feeling like a big cat sitting in the bush, waiting for food. The killing part is fun too, but the most fun for me is the stalking

[@jimmydeshazo1312]

I need a good aiming technique . HELP

[@JJJennings007]

I enjoy sling shooting as a hobby and a good skill to have. I don't buy the expensive metal balls/ammo. instead I recommend using marbles.

Re-title: Intelligent Squirrels watching two bozos talk about squirrel hunting

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Yes, eyewear and a jock cup are required equipment. A month ago I was using my Barnett Black Widow and a ricochet hit my father in law night in the ruts. I get 25 fpe with it, with 50 caliber steel balls. That's enough to kill raccoons, 40 pound hogs, and 50 pound coyotes. Awesome slingshot, can be outfitted to shoot arrows to kill 100 pound Texas hogs and 150 pound Axis deer... LEGALLY.

[@nicks4802]

Stand sideways, kids

[@Irishsaxon]

Hi Jim, I competed against you in 2010 at the East Coast Sling shot tournament. WE had a great time didn't we? Jay Bird, Flatband, Jorg from Germany, the Bunny Buster. If memory serves we had 22 shooters that year. I think i came in 8th. LOL

[@JTA479]

I love slingshot hunting I have whacked so much small game with my Gamekeeper pocket poacher. I use 12mm lead for rabbit/squirrel/ducks and 9.5mm steel for for magpies, pigeons and doves....

[@johnnygunz2300]

Uhh takes more than three hits in a row to ethically hunt. Expect a solid year practice everyday for the average shooter. Slingshots are like traditional archery for the learning curve involved.... Except the distances for kills is similar and the target size it's way smaller (ie bow hunt a deer vs squirrel..... Big difference of kill zone @ 10-20 yards). I love slingshots butt it's not this easy.

[@allenlolly2999]

You should be looking on the ground in the winter.
