Seeing children being introduced to slingshots is amazing, yet Dennis the Menace made it popular for kids in the 1950's, but it's been around 60 years and now slingshots are mostly an older person's sport, so ironically it is refreshing to see kids keeping it alive. I am 54 in 2023 and a newbie. I am addicted and it's good for the heart, mind, body, and soul. I love how serious looking the kids are.

Good to meet you mate at the shoot 😊 enjoyed what I saw will be at Andover later this year &Good video too cheers Darren D

[@wozabrown]

[@forksandspoons7272]

This was instructive. I was watching the fork hand of the various shooters. The young man that hit 9 out 10 early on, had very little movement in his forward hand when he let fly. I also noticed head shaking after a shot with the forks canted. The top fork was farther forward. Great video, thanks much!

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

Respect to the person behind the camera.

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

[@Spiritof48]

So Nice to see the Young People picking up the catty sport .

[@michaelb.42112]

Isn't it ironic to say good to see young people into the sport, when we think of slingshots we think of kids, but I agree 100% because I get it.

[@ryangrant9403]

[@lukeellison645]

[@stuartfountain7450]

Is there any meets etc north. I live Cumbria but all the meets seem to be south

[@no-trick-pony]

I am so confused - are you not allowed to use aiming helps on the sling shots? Or are those not necessary?

[@tonynapoli5549]

Good video 👌👍🇬🇧

[@paulsherman7802]

I wish we we could do this in the USA. Part of the problem is that Texas is bigger than the UK or Wales and we don't have the trains. Bugger.

[@gardenweld]

Great crack.

[@19888rex]

Hi. I'm Alessandro from italy. When can i find the rule of this championship? Thanks so much.

[@bjarnyg]

i don't see anyone using wrist support. is it illegal in these contests?

[@jacobhall2838]

Hi did you get my email about the band

[@user-ju9sc6jp5h]

С какой резины они стреляют?????

[@rsamfawcett6048]

What ammo do you use

[@alfierosa3655]

Hi Jhon

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

In America we don't nearly have these many kids coming to our tournaments sad to say.

[@Sideshowbobx]

Well, as long as there are shop classes at HS it isn't that dire - drop them a couple templates for slingshots, targets and backstops. If done right slingshot shooting got the same beneficiary effects in education as archery at a fraction of the cost. And that should cut it with any school board still no matter how libertard they might be, hack it can be sold to such as an egalitarian sport even.

[@StuffIMade]

Anyone know what the netting is called and where I can get some?

[@GAMEKEEPERJOHN]

Stuff I Made it’s scaffolding netting pal 👍

[@StuffIMade]

GAMEKEEPER JOHN thanks for the quick reply!!!

[@StuffIMade]

GAMEKEEPER JOHN would this be good enough as a backstop to catch bearings... if I double layer it?

[@GAMEKEEPERJOHN]

Yes buddy we use to use it at the shoots, I think we double or trebled it but it worked fine

[@StuffIMade]

GAMEKEEPER JOHN thank you 🙏

[@liasmccready2091]

The boys at time 2:26 is me Cousins

[@ligayaparson]

Os so clever

[@MrToekneeG]

Is there anyone at all that shoots eye line in these events? Everyone seems to opt for gangster. I'm considering swapping over because so many people cant be wrong.

[@GAMEKEEPERJOHN]

Tony Galea yes pal there’s quiet a few I must just not have got them on film!

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

Tony Galea I swapped from upright to gangster makes a big difference

[@purdylicous6473]

Tony Galea I shoot gangster really helps consistency.

[@magtamilan]

Nobody is wearing eye protection. Why?

[@TwoFingeredMamma]

Modern rubber rarely breaks i guess.

[@willdetour1692]

Bare broke back mountain goat style

[@garethlewis3743]

I remember Adam from those Max Power magazines years ago.

[@a_real_jive_turkey7772]

I wish I lived in the UK. Slingshots just get you laughed at in US. Everybody thinks if it's not a gun it's not worth shooting. They cant grasp the concept that 1 should not be a replacement for the other, but rather, can both be used for their own different purposes 🙁

[@clangerbasher]

There's something just so English about this..... :)

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

I’m imagining a follow up video of competitors and family putting back a pint at a chip shop. We might get to see their relaxed side.
