Great to see the youngsters coming through, that’s what it’s all about, keeping it alive and passing it on. Huge respect to all
A Great rewarding sound that... knocking them targets down....but totally silent when you miss. Hope the sport grows more in popularity over next few years.
The sport and events now held are night and day to these early shoots. The standard of shooter has come on so much too. Happy to say the sport is evolving rapidly!!!!!! And it would be great to see coverage from you guys at more shoots
Shoutout to the dad in the background who played soccer with his boy the entire video.
@Hong Hamdan wow guys
Football.
Dad like "son I got a gun in the car, we good lets have a kick"
It’s Football not “soccer”. 😝
@@YoloHunky sorry I’m across the pond.
I liked your video, here in the US we call them slingshots, I make my own out of small forked tree branches and leave the bark on them, I like the rustic look. I'm 55 year's old and I still have some slingshots that I made when I was 10 years old. Keep up the good work.

Alfredo Jimenez in my city this is call katekan
duit seribu which city, and language? In Spanish they're called, resorteras, that's plural.
la calacacaca tis what we call them here too.
tbh in the UK we call them slingshots as well, a catapult is a massive ballistic weapon, don't know why these lot call them catapults.
Jack Davies just taught me something with that magnetic necklace. I've been attaching one to my slingshot but it makes it a bit awkward because it throws the weight off
Wish we had this shoot still. Amazing place to shoot at. Bassaleg and the community Hall the best place but it's not really big now the sports gotten a higher following and more people coming to have ago at putting their name in the history books.
Great Video. Very good explanation on the PFS.
Great video as always👌
Muito bom. Saudações aqui do Brasil
When we were kids we used to pinch the V shaped springs from under our beds, Get elastics off the postman and cut the tongues out of our shoes for the leather. Our ammo was iron ore balls off the railway lines. Very accurate and loads of fun. (until the police came knocking on your mams door).
Brilliant video, some good shooting aswell
What a great sport to have a bunch of people sitting around a gym plinking targets with catapults! These are high-end but a good reminder of low tech fun that anyone can start out with for very little investment.
Fantastic video!! :)
good video i am from the philippines and we call that tirador when i was young we use that to hunt bird . that we made it ourself .im retired but still have one of those i also made it myself along with my gun for sport shooting.
It's gamekeeper John I love his channel
As a 47 year old women, I’ve just received my delivery of a catapult but no 1000 clay/200 steel balls arrived yet. Had three attempts with round stones, oh my I surprised myself, off to village shop to buy some round mints... Not many women in this sport, any tips guys? Just spoken to my friend who owns a pest business and uses one himself, so going to have a lesson with him, he the one who said go and buy some imperial mints 😂
My barnett black widow arrived last week , I felt 10 again 😃🤠
I reccomend getting (or making some) flat bands for it. There more accurate and easier to aim
@@kaliumnitraat thera band gold ? The fit and wrap are easy . Is that the most elastic ?
@@kaliumnitraat I have planned this but only Jorge keeps my attention long enough to listen 😀
Good job Jack!
7:12 for some reason i have a minds eye view of this guy learning to shoot in prison lol
I really like this sports since i was a kid. Until now im already 71 yrs old.
Haha, I grew up shooting my slingshots gangster style. in the winter it is too cold to use the slingshots but I am looking forward to the summer where I will be after some rabbits. I want to make a thumb and forefinger support slingshot with flat bands. I am having trouble deciding the best shape for myself but I believe this video just showed me!! :)
Why can't you shoot 'em in the winter? Is it because it affects the rubber?
Brandon Alan where I am yes. Depending on how cold it gets you can still shoot but its harder on the bands. When its minus forty it will literally freeze the band and snap it.
hey just wondering about strap breakage? probly better off having glasses on shooting? seems everything eye level? i guess it doesnt matter when you get good and instinct shoot from the hip :)
I have been inspired by watching this video in being a catapult shooter.
That's great to hear. Have you gotten started with your first modern slingshot yet?
Its so much fun brotha
Ive recently bought a slingshot and I cant wait to have target practise :) i can tell this is gonna be another fun hobby
Where did you get yours from mate
@@paulburns3629 If you're looking for U.S.A made I'd turn to SimpleShot. Another popular brand that I know but resides in china is GZK. Personally I've only bought from Simpleshot and none of their slingshots dissapoint. Id suggest watching their channel online for they give many tips and tricks on how to hone your skill. Been shooting for a couple months now and have not regretted it since. Happy plinking brother!
@@WarpedBlinds are you from the us I am from the uk so would want to buy something closer to home don’t want it to take like 4 weeks to get here
@@paulburns3629 Yes unfortunately I am from the U.S. I'm not too sure the shipment time from U.S to U.K. I'd look into their website and ask the usual wait times for their customer service is professional. Praying you find a solution my man. Shooting a slingshot while taking in nature around you just feels right.
@@paulburns3629 They stock simpleshot slingshots on proshot UK 👍
Amazing. They must have nerves of steel, to participate in that competitive vaping event while people are shooting catapults all around them.
very good I like it, I'm learning to make a slingshot that fits and it's good, thank you, I'm from Indonesia, just learning about catapults
One you guys should design a a pez despenser style wrist rocket with a magnetic ballbearing grabber on the leather strap to grab the internal ammo in the handle one at a time after dispensing...or revolver design
Some decent shots in that hall
interesting catapult Kevin all the best from Germany
Come to Makassar, capital city of South Sulawesi, youth here developed catapult to be more dangerous weapon for street gangster skirmish, the small metal bullet ball change with 8 to 10 cm sharp metal arrow, cling to the catapult band, this arrow will target enemy body that in some occasion resulted death.
love the pickle Forks
Great to see all those women interested in this fabulous hobby ...
On 7:12 great Dighton’s slingshot, is this custom one, or it’s possible by buy somewhere?
POV: its Sunday, your hungover. And you end up watching this shit lol.
My SimpleShot Scout slingshot has been ordered 🙂
dirtyshirtinfo I got it as well
Gangster style here. Cheers from Argentina
0:27 did he get shot in the teeth?
No that's what happens when you dont wear your safety glasses
@@a_real_jive_turkey7772 how does that make sense
@@jamessanderson5068 it's meant to be a joke...because slingshot guys on youtube are always preaching to wear your safety glasses or horrible things will happen
Very cool greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
great sport. go on kev !!!!👽👾
I grew up hunting rabbits lizards and rats with sling shots once you get use to your sling shot you can hit anything most of the times without aiming just pull and release
I took my dad's phone
Knocked it LARGE 🤪
I would never put my can of coke down anywhere amongst these blokes
I got a Wrist Rocket when I was a kid and it was so fun.
that looks mad super fun.. anything in the u.s. like that??
Kevin Wright wrist rocket's are fun to start, but aren't that good of slings. I'll never go back to a wrist rocket. Go invest in a rotary cutter, cutting pad, tbg rubber, and buy/make a midsized frame similar to what you see in this clip. It'll put a wrist rocket to shame (easier to draw, aim, much faster, concealable etc). Once you make the initial $30 investment you can make allot of bands and sling shot frames to figure out what you like. I recommend "simple shots" lower end slings as an off the shelf decent slingshot with everything fairly dialed in for Target shooting (but bands can be setup for hunting too). Archery and slingshots are allot of fun (I own allot of guns but they don't get used nearly as much now I've gotten into slingshots).
Boa noite.estes estilingue são muito bonitos.Eu tenho os meus aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 já uso a 64anos💯👍👍👍👍
where in south wales does this go on .i want in lol
Wow am from Yorkshire never new you guys had this I started with black window then a corbra now got bennet pro dablo what I've had 20 years

So do they have to hit the red inner dot? Or just the yellow plate?
Oh, I thought the title was talking about compound bows!!
0:10 NO DRIVING 🤔
The venue is probably used as an indoor golf putting range on certain days
0:26 NO TOOTH
Good to see men turning things to serious hobby and enjoy well
Plz tell me Wich bands are better for slingshot tubular bands or flat bands
Boa noite.Vou compra mais para minha coleção,💯🙏🙏
Good on yar Nipper!
I also shoot "Gangster", due to my uniphoxx having a sight groove on the side of the fork 🤣
Pinged it LARGE 😝
@@paulalexander24 The thug life chose me. 😤
why no glasses? suppose the spring snapped at the neck and took out an eye?
Hello and welcome to the Slingshotchannel.
Needed a down range camera angle to get a perspective of distance
Are there any of them in Jordan?
The slingshot training is good, but in Indonesia it's also fun, just check it here
I like watching this
Did I spot ZZ from the old spoktra 50 vids ???
What are they shooting 3/8th steel balls?
bravo
True
I agree with gamekeeperJohn
Sucks if it snap a rubber band when at full draw 👀
Hi when I was young I use Slingshot for stealing fruit next door . So I like watching your video

Good
SNP government will probably want you to register all catapults in the next few years...
stripymccatpuss the worst thing a population can ever do is let the government get their guns. That's one thing all Americans understand.
S E the worst thing citizens can do is stop being creative.
stripymccatpuss fuckin wankers have already taken our guns
stripymccatpuss bloody wrong.. It's not right...
@@se3939 more like some americans
good lad jack
They haven't seen nepal yet nepal has different type of rubber it is much stronger and powerful plus slingshots (guleli) are international nepali weapons
Stick to the Kukri . Ghurkas lethal enough with those . Thanks from England
Cool he one and got a victory plate
Yo en mi época buscaba yo de los arboles los cabo,para armar una ondas,o gomera,.y los elásticos en un kiosco o almacén,de la esquina,,.mi piedra o roca era de un tamaño de una moneda de un dólar americano👍👌❤❤ hoy en día todo diferente,.??
'Insert Jeorge Sprave joke here'
Hello and welcome

Ello! This shit is bloody awesome
Indian sling shots are very power full

Rufus Hussey would mop the floor with these fools
Yes, no competition shooter will ever match with a hunter who shoots for daily meal and not for hobby.
1:09 this guy is gonna to loose an eye shooting like that.
eu atiro com estilingue
If you think jack is good at shooting then you should see the catapults he makes. Very skilled indeed
James Milner jack or john?😂

Reliable men.
