4 BEST Survival Slingshots for Bug Out Bag / Hunting - Ep. 1 - Pathfinder Pocket Hunter on Trial

[@davidafultz]

I worked with Dave Canterbury's lead instructor on how to operate the SlingBow as research for some film work I have coming up. He placed the tip of the arrow on the toe of his boot for loading. The paracord popped right in to the nock. Then you could start the tension for the draw as you raised for the aim. It's good to go to the source sometimes!

[@jackg.7745]

David...Great video. My wife just gave me the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter for Christmas. I haven't used it hunting yet (just targets in the backyard). The thing rocks. It does take some practice but once you get it down the sling bow really works well and is very accurate . Mine also has the bow fishing attachment so I'm really excited to fish with it as well.

[@jasonmcdaniel7878]

I'm already liking this series. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Pretty good Job brother I appreciate the Video, the Arrow knocking takes practice, I did notice at least on camera, most of the time they were not getting a full draw, what bands were you using for these demos?

[@gordongaines1076]

I have lost arrows using my sling bow. I can't afford to keep losing them so I quit with it. I'll just use my recurve bow. I got skill with that, but no skill with the sling bow.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

***** It was the stock band... 28-30 lb depending on draw length. Ahin was / is at a disadvantage with such short arms. You do make a good point though... We unfortunately had only a few hours to shoot all the Eps... and my camera guys kept trying to move me along as I was trying to help the 3 bros hone their skills (if this is Dave) - you probably appreciate the push of a production crew - lol. They all ended up pulling the sling back by holding the paracord knot vs. finger/s in the loop... This probably limited their hand strength... but helped them get on target. Thanks for the comment/s. You are always welcome around my campfire! :) ~David

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Gordon Gaines Thanks for the comment Gordon. The simple solution here is what I did with Ahin in this video. Move up to 10 - 15 feet. Do NOT move back until you are putting your arrows in the Yellow or at least the red. Purchase a cheap - HUGE archery target like the ones we used in the video... they are like $29 US at any outdoor shop. Try different styles... but I settled into a style shooting straight on looking down the arrow shaft and holding on target BEFORE pulling back. Try using the paracord knot vs. putting fingers in the loop... it seems like this is easier for beginners. Hope this helps. ~David

[@Random-pt9mn]

I have been interested in the pocket hunter since seeing it on Dave's channel. Thanks for doing a review on it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Arthur Tilges Glad you enjoyed it.

[@hot2warm]

Really enjoyable! I was glad to see that I wasn't the only one having trouble nocking arrows in the Pathfinder. I tried using aluminum arrows and broad heads in mine and found the velocity appeared to drop when compared to the carbon arrow and field point that comes with it.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

hot2warm Yes... all the sling bows have little quarks... it's the price of being portable though. I'm pretty much addicted to Carbon arrows now... but have a set of aluminum arrows for beating around in the field with my take down and long bows...

[@markjohnson6656]

Why do you say 30 feet is the max effective range for a slingshot? Competitions have a minimum distance of 10 meters (33 feet). Competitions also use 20 meters, 25 meters, and 30 meters. An experienced slingshot user can take animals at distances a lot farther than 30 feet.

[@humanperson8732]

Well, not to be rude, but most people aren't professionals at shooting slingshots

[@pablothetim]

When will be getting more slingbow wars? I'm really looking forward to see the others in action :-) Keep up the good work :-)

[@philipgamboa6134]

Wow. Great toys for the big boys. It's fun as well as survival. I had my own design since kid.🙏💪👍🤠

[@Reilly_P]

Thanks David, really been debating on a sling bow to get. Great to see joe back, although I'm missing his daughter's army shirt, that thing made my day. I'd love to see something along these lines where you have the 3 lads get a go in your arsenal and pack a bug out bag; maybe give them a time limit and then have them do a few tasks like get a fire going, get a liter of water or make a shelter. Also would be really cool to see this same thing done with maybe pre fabbed fishing kits like the ones from uncle flint.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

***** Great ideas... We have some stuff like this on the list too... Thanks bro! ~David

[@safenders]

Better than top shot on the history ch. good work

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

safenders Thanks for the encouragement. ~D

[@new2survival]

Really fun vid. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. I'm the worlds worst sling shot user. Over the years spent £100s on catapults and always end up loosing my patients and bining them.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

new2survival Follow the series and we'll get you on target. You may like to get a flat band sling shot like the one we look at in Episode 2. It's easy and fun to shoot... and makes it easy to get on target with shot. Have a great day... ~David

[@GruntW0rk]

This is a very interesting series and I for one am looking forward to seeing the rest of the sling bows in action. Keep up the great work. The level on content you have been producing over the years is consistent and high quality. I have enjoy it greatly. Congratulations.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

GruntW0rk Thanks man. Glad you are enjoying the new stuff. ~D

[@nuch516]

Great video and very entertaining. I have the pathfinder sling bow and you hit every detail about the product. Thanks

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

MICHAEL NUCCIO I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. Thanks bro. ~David

[@nuch516]

Ultimate Survival Tips When possible if you can talk offline I have a prototype I'd like to show you. Please let me know an email so we can discuss in more depth. Thanks and no hard feelings if not interested.

[@vallejopnw]

Discovered your channel today. I'm certain yours is my favorite channel. Thank you sir.

[@TheBriguy90]

Could you guys go over some foldable shovels/e-tools? I just bought one from harbor freight and would love to get a full review on it and some other options as I would assume they are very useful and helpful in a survival situation.

[@alaskankare]

Great video, this is an excellent way to have fun and quickly show us a review on four different slings. Can't wait to watch the others. I think the Pathfinder's bow attachment can be purchased separately and then added to your marksman if you already had one. I think if there was a rigid plastic tube for you to knock your arrow into, that might help? Not sure why you can't just hold the arrow knock in the pocket, is it too slippery?

[@DarkoNerivar]

"Alot of people experienced what you're experiencing" - so true.

[@TedsOutdoors]

very cool David. I own the Pathfinder Sling Bow, I had the same problem with getting the arrow in the nock. I think it just takes some practice. Thanks-Ted

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Teds Outdoors Indeed. Thanks man. ~D

[@danielhooglandt1620]

Nice video David! Looking forward to the following episodes, keep up the good work!

[@brutalbrital]

its funny I've used a whisper biscuit on my slingshot for about 35 years now and all of a sudden it's become popular, go figure. Great video looks like everyone had some fun thx

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

brutalbrital :)

[@lesterfonseca3006]

I always look forward to your videos it's cool to see that your starting to like archery too I've always liked bow hunting and just practicing. Thanks for the time and effort you put in your videos.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Lester Fonseca You got it... Archery rocks in all it's forms... :)

[@BudgetBugout]

Great stuff David! I look forward to seeing you at SHOT Show man!

[@livingsurvival]

BudgetBugout Did you get your passes?

[@BudgetBugout]

Living Survival I sure did! You going to be there too?

[@livingsurvival]

BudgetBugout Yes sir!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

BudgetBugout Thanks bro. Indeed. Look me up at SHOT Show. Have a great day! ~David

[@johnkennedy9078]

BudgetBugout hello, can you please recommend the most compact (packing space saving) and durable slingshot? Ideally looking for a slingshot that has the most durable rubber so it hopefully won't dry out and break

[@westside812]

This was amazing! I felt like i was watching a survival tv show! Keep doing stuff like this!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Nathan Hoffmann Glad you liked it Nathan! ~David

[@mooseknuckle8334]

Im surprised you guys haven't got your own show. Fantastic videos, keep up the great work.

[@tonystites2134]

Thanks I have been looking at buying one of these but there not a lot of information about them so thank you very much for doing this.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Tony Stites My pleasure bro. ~D

[@CHUNKYNUGGET666]

I really enjoyed this video, well done cant wait for episode 2

[@blackswann9555]

well done video set up and explaining

[@planjumper73]

In the description you said this is a part 5 series. Have you posted the other 4 videos? I can't find them and would like to see more of these. Great video thus far. Thanks for the info.

[@ratgod13]

I like your videos, a tip flat bands are much better in my opinion because drawing takes less effort for more velocity and foot pounds of energy. Keep it up!

[@justinwilliams9452]

They are using the wrong tubes. Mine has basically become a recurve at this point.

[@nilodrallub7812]

Cant wait for the next one !

[@PressureEd]

Nice format

[@jaystarr6571]

Good stuff!! I can't wait to see the next episode.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Jay Starr Me too... LOL

[@MarkRuslinzski]

what do you think about the pocket shot thats like a baloon along with the handle bisquit shooter all together they have them on ebay could you try one and let me knowThanks in advance

[@CatapultCarnage]

"slingshots are effective up to 30 feet" not true. I've shot rabbits 70 feet away with my slingshot

[@stgeorge6947]

Catapult Carnage lol 10 meters range

[@marcushennings9513]

I have one and I would recommend it for small game. It's much cheaper to buy replacement bands for it ($5) than for complete crossbow cables ($75)

[@rubenmejias7302]

Decent amount of kinetic power

[@415mazer6]

what fun....good info and good video. Thanks

[@JasonHitzert]

The Goliath of slingshots? Is that a good or bad thing?

[@devinfisher2847]

you guys should definetly do something like this in the future, maybe with pre made fishing kits or bushcraft knives

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Devin Fisher Good idea

[@WaHo0oBiE]

when are going to do EP.2 I'm tired from waiting its been over a month month. witch one is your best in your opinion? so i would just buy it now.

[@marcusjansson90]

Great as always David! Keep it up!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Marcus Jansson Thanks Marcus! ~D

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Will this pocket hunter kill a deer at 30 yds ? or a turkey ? ( with fibreglass arrow plus broadhead ?) How accurate is it ?

[@_seaken]

Love your video they are really help full

[@wolfwytche]

Great vid, David. I have been thinking about getting a sling bow for some time. This kind of comparison is just what I need to see. Something I would like to know is whether or not you can shoot cane/wood arrows from these slings. In a survival situation this would seem to be a necessity. Looking forward to more of these videos .

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

wolfwytche Glad you are enjoying the series... Can wood arrows... I suppose you could shoot them, if they are well made. Take care... ~David

[@timbaker8928]

Wow very cool I have a black widow and iam trying to make a sling bow

[@MarshBr0s]

Great video thank you for making it :D ( I have a slingshot at home and I want it to shoot arrows how would I do that ) - Thanks

[@PastorPeewee20]

is the survival slingshot in stores if so which ones please

[@ThePhj123]

When are the next episodes out have been waiting for your review before purchasing the survival slingshot

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

paul james Will probably be a couple of weeks...

[@thewekillnoobsclan]

I really like the change of video.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

CoatedBarley72 Cool!

[@markmac9588]

Like your videos. I thought some other slingbows deserve mention however. The Marksman is not even worth talking about. The other 3 were good choices. The Badass brand slingbows actually have real power and accuracy. The Slingbow Industries Weasel is also a good one, better than some mentioned. Looking forward to more Videos.

[@jimmyknox3342]

Mark Mac , I've shot bees out of the air with my marksman. Don't knock it.

[@calimotorider1562]

What's the recommended arrow length for a Sling bow?

[@tictac6041]

30 inchs

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

What is the range in yards that you are shooting arrows at the target --with the pocket hunter/?--WHY not use the whisker thing - centre arrow rest /?

[@burgesskj]

Excellent review, thanks for sharing.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Kevin Burgess Glad you enjoyed it.

[@burgesskj]

Ultimate Survival Tips Best sling review yet. Actually makes me want to procure the hardware right away.

[@shawnwhite2618]

You should review your favorite handguns

[@poofgone324]

how did you guys keep the bands from slipping of the leather strap?

[@justablackdude5423]

I think adding a whisker biscuit would add stability.

[@ddotcomm]

Can anyone tell me the brand and style of the glasses they are wearing? thanks.

[@mja9700]

You’ve seen people shoot their pistol from the hip and hit the bulls eye. I saw this amazing guy when I was in 3rd grade. In my country of origin, slingshots are very very common tool for hunting. I was with him and some friends in our backyard. (TROPICS) Big trees and bushes, then our cleaning lady suddenly started screaming SNAKE SNAKE frantically in panic. I grabbed my sling shot and started to work on that snake still dangling in a small bush tree. This guy NEMO yelled at me “shoot the head, aim at his head”. Yeah right, with a slingshot? So he grabbed my slingshot pick up a pebble and HE SHOOT FROM HIS HIP. WHAM BOOM 💥. One shot HEAD SHOT. 👀 WOW 😮. Ever since then I respected NEMO and slingshot. He held the pebble locked to his hip in his right hand, then he stretched left arm in the direction of the snake. IMPRESSIVE

[@bobdout525]

Nice video brother david.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

themoodybobby1 Thanks man.

[@galenlong937]

With the amount of slingshots out there that are adaptable to a slingbow, and the more speciallized slingbows themselves, you would have been there a week just doing testing. So I can see why you limited it to 5.Great testing so far.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Galen Long Indeed... Thanks bro.

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

What series numbers are these

[@allenwhite6946]

I was shooting my own sling bow/sling shot when I bought my first one when I was like 7 yrs old, back in the 70's, yeah I figured out how to shoot a arrow through a sling shot, If I knew then what I knew now, I would be rich lol

[@ZoFishes]

Please review the schf27.

[@andrewmakesvideossometimes135]

I personally thought David did great during the arrows but not as spot on with the pellets but over all I think David won

Didn't know a sling shot could take a grizzly down. I'm too scared to try that. I'd stick with the gun to be on the safe side LOL

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

TheVee909 Playing it safe with Grizzlies is a good idea.

[@muddog1561]

I can't shoot the Pocket Predator at all. I have a lot of experience with high end slingshot and in archery but I loose arrows with the Pocket Predator. I'm a very bad shot with it.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

muddog1561 Oh man... I love shooting both shot and arrows with it... How far are you from your target... 10 yards / meters is a good range that you can be very accurate at. I will show you how to shoot it in Episode 2... stand by...

[@muddog1561]

Ultimate Survival Tips I definitely would like to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm shooting father away than 10 yards. Maybe that's part of my problem with it. I have had some wild flyers with it. I can shoot my recurve and my Scout SS with out a problem, but not that thing. Lol.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

muddog1561 Dude... check out my comment to the "Gordon Gains" under the "WildernessOutfitters" comment... this may help you... and anyone starting out shooting anything...
