I used to have a slingshot when i was young i mised the day when we are hunting some birds in the woods,i have learned a lot in this tutorial zach,thanks a lot
I watched this video when it first was uploaded. Didn’t ever purchase the board and tools because of fork hits. Having the board and tools would have come in handy for one of my last projects adding a latex liner for my bow quiver slots. Cutting the strips was a straight STRUGGLE haha.
I use Theraband gold 1 inch strips with a double band set. I tie mine up a little different, but basically the same. I wrap my bands near my pouch and then tuck it through itself using a loop of string. Thanks for a few ideas tho. I like your clamp set up. I usually get my wife to stretch them out while I wrap it. Haha.
Long time ago, in my mid teens, I used to make slingshot bands from unrepairable inner tube (tyre). They worked excellently. At one point the tube began to be made from a material that, after stretching, would go back to its original size very slowly. That was the end.
Me too. Back in the 50s and early 60s, most tire tubes were made of natural rubber that made good bands. Then, they switched to “butyl” rubber that didn’t.... However..... Bicycle tubes are still made of natural rubber, and mountain-bike tubes work quite well....
My dad had a slingshot he made when I was a kid from that innertube rubber from old tires....our family farm started 1872...that thing was a rocket Wish I still had it but a brother claimed it and lost it.
ya no kidding on its harder, had needle nose pliers on me and just busted my knuckle from a metal ball rickshaw, dosent look pritty but it worked, took me 5 min to put one on....
You remind me of my father, he is crafty, love marksmanship, love nature and hunting, and strong. if he is still alive i am sure he would love your channel
Do you ever shoot .177" BBs? I've been shooting a little PFS I made using office rubber. I have some 1632 tubes coming in as well which should give me a bit more zip. They're tons of fun, especially for indoor plinking. Thanks for another video.
Instead of elastics have you tried shrink tubing? solid and stays where you put it. Elastics are good but have shelf life shrink tubing can be re-heated and stay in place if needed your thoughts?
Do a sup can test can you put a hole in it at 10 feet then it should be more then enough. make sure the can is held firmly in somthing or it wont go threw and wont be a fair test.
Coffee questions....I don't drink coffee but I noticed you do sometimes. If you had it to do over again, would you choose: "10 pounds of legumes" (ie, coffee?). Is that a lot? How long would that last? I know some people used to carry it on the fronteir. They also made coffee substitutes. Have you ever made a coffee substitute? Would you make some video(s) about that? Examples: brigham tea, roasted chicory, roasted dandelion root, etc. Some of these things had caffeine while some were for the flavor.
I have only been shooting a sling shot for about 2 years and love it! I have used 'theraband gold' for both my band strips and my tie on pieces. I get probably about 400 to 800 shots before it snaps on me. Is that about what you are getting or would it be worth upgrading when I use it all? Love your videos and your energy.
@@kenvng this is how I started making my own. The yellow has been great for me. I have been doing it now for 8 years and I can hunt squirrels and rabbits with the yellow.
Hello! How thick are your bands (the red and the last one you used for example)? Just to figured out around what thickness I should look for. I would try to make my own latex squares are usually in quite big volumes and I would like to avoid buying many just to test...and on websites here they talk more about how it feels on your skin that how performant it is for slingshots...if you know what I mean...
Just got into sling shots. It seems my band has stretched a bit. I've also anchored to the corner of my mouth. I believe that has seriously slowed my shots. If I were to go hunting... In not sure it'd do much to a squirrel or a rabbit. Should I consider shortening my band? Or increase my pull back closer to my ear(that will definitely Jack with my accuracy)?
Loving the Sparrow, such an elegant design. Would love to see one made from multicolored plywood. Just found a store that sells the bands by the meter, but can't find a European seller for the Slingshot. The taxes and postage will double the price to Finland. :(
Can you share the info about the store with bands? I have a similar problem and I ended up with the Czech Extreme EDC slingshot. Now I just need a band supplier.
I know this is a little off topic, but since you are making up band sets I was wondering what you would suggest for ideal bands for plinking with 3/8 inch clay ammo?
Went through all the comments and there were several questions asking about the thickness of the rubber sheet but didn't see any reply from you. Wish to ask the same question here. What thickness of the rubber is most suitable for a beginner? Does thickness of the rubber matter? Please reply.
Huh.. Been making bands for years and when cutting I always try to do it in one fairly quick continuous zip, but your method seems much less stressful (i.e. not ruining your bands and cutting your finger tips off). I'll have to give that a go.
I really like the fixture you made. It’s simple, effective, and makes the patch tying process easy. Thanks do you make your tie bands yourself from the latex?
Maybe you can help me. I like shooting paintballs from my slingshot, but can get no where near the chrono speed I’m looking for with the tubular bands I’ve been using. I want to try flat bands, but can you recommend what type/color/thickness of material to get the best performance for shooting paintballs at around 275 fps
Can someone tell me why pouches are used? It seems to make it actually work properly since mine wasn't quite working shot by it's rubber. If i am to make a pouch, can i do it without cutting the rubber? ( a pouch that is along the rubber and slides as rubber stretches)
Hey! I put The band The Absolutly wrong way instead to The Victory way. Can I just turn it and shoot with The slick side of The pouch or should I wrap it again?
6 days till i get my first slingshot,it comes with tubes,sooo Sir should i use flat bands??? Or should i use the tubes(since they dont sell latex slingshot flat bands in my country)(i have to use a 0.8mm thickness and 1.7 cm width flat rubber band,the ones for everyday use),so please advice,thank you
Are there any tips for bands and leather for BB shooting out there? looking for a softer draw but without the loss of power, a sweet spot let's just say. I just started with BBs and love it, fits my billfold. I'll be making a slingshot with ammo inside the handle and magnet.
Hi I found the Hammer slingshot and am really considering buying it but I would want to use the slingbow configuration for either hunting large game or bowfishing, I'm not really sure how I would achieve the draw weight i want of around 55 or 60 lbs at 30 inches, I would appreciate some help if you could.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Please, sir. Where can I find that rubber that I used to make a trap in my country? It is not available and is there an alternative to it? I find it in bad things and thanks
the torque shoots only over the top in either tubes which it comes with or bands which it dose not come included. It is more pocket friendly and my favorite right now mostly because of the pocket friendly bit and i don't leave home without it. The scout is the better of the 2 and easier to become good with since it is more accurate to shoot threw the forks. But the scout can do both. the only thing it dose not do well is live in ones back pocket as part of ones edc.
ok i know nothing about rubber bands or slingshot but im making a crossbow pistol an it called for a specific rubber an when buying it i could only get a 18 foot long by 5 inch wide roll so i have alot of extra an im curious if i can use it on slings shots or is it not the best option. also what is the best way to store the rubber cause from my experience with using rubber bands they dont last long b4 they start to fall apart an deteriorate to almost a dust so id at least like to be able to keep this stuff without it falling apart on me to quickly. the rubber i purchased was thera-band max resistance.
It’s not the best it’s just the most common it’s not even meant for slingshots and medical latex is better and precise latex is better about 5 years ago theraband were really gold but they made the bands thinner
Raz Reaver it’s because it’s not about the latex it’s about the formula for example why precise it gzk are way better than tag it’s because the formula is different it’s meant for slingshots
I used to have a slingshot when i was young i mised the day when we are hunting some birds in the woods,i have learned a lot in this tutorial zach,thanks a lot
Me too
I love my sling shot and I sew! So happy to see you using fabric tools. Now I know I got this lol
As an Aussie, I can vouch that Kangaroo leather is extremely durable even for very thin thicknesses.
I liked the part with the logo coming out of the shirt
Me to love the edit ;)
Looks like I came to the right place. Perfect
Yes lol

Yeah I like the thunder bangle gold to at time
You are awedome.i am great ponder of slingshots since from my chilhood.watching your videos it makes me so cheerfull
This is excellent! Thank you for this, Fowler!
Watching every episode.
Respect from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
I like that R2D2 coffee cup!
It's a mug xd
Nicely done... I have tube bands for mine but I like to make one
I like tubes on my speed shooter and flat bands for more accuracy
Yes same here!

At one point the tube began to be made from a material that, after stretching, would go back to its original size very slowly. That was the end.
I wonder if there is anywhere I cold get an old inertube like that. Probably all long rotted away by now unless some where they are still made
Me too. Back in the 50s and early 60s, most tire tubes were made of natural rubber that made good bands. Then, they switched to “butyl” rubber that didn’t.... However..... Bicycle tubes are still made of natural rubber, and mountain-bike tubes work quite well....
@grumpy old fart Used?

Wish I still had it but a brother claimed it and lost it.
Hi i was wondering where ti get the rubbery vinly like string used for band tieing that simpleshot uses?
Very neat! Love the quilting tools😀
Thanks works grate since its important to have a smooth continuous cut.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief wher can i get that latex ?
Really appreciate the info. Thanks!
Best beginner slingshot.
Hey i have rubber band like that i think lang but you are my favorite slingshot man in the world.
Thank you!
ya no kidding on its harder, had needle nose pliers on me and just busted my knuckle from a metal ball rickshaw, dosent look pritty but it worked, took me 5 min to put one on....
Mate, you'd make an excellent teacher! Great vid!
I love warriors pouches . I am hooked lolz
I just bought the jig and materials from SimpleShot to make my own bands. I'm looking forward to learning.
This is super sharp (immediately puts hand on it)
I love it when the logo comes out of the shirt
Great video thank you
Great tips. Thanks
Your welcome thanks for watching
sangat keren juragankuu mantap bin jos gandoss mantap
Wow amazing the slingshot
Nice your videos
Sir am biggest fan of u am Indian🇮🇳
Sir this band thickness 0.65
You remind me of my father, he is crafty, love marksmanship, love nature and hunting, and strong. if he is still alive i am sure he would love your channel
Im watching every episode..... It u want to eat ,,, u gona catch and cook it... ... Slingshot.... Are good to use .....
was going crazy trying to tie my pouch, I though it was a for awesome and v for villain. thanks man
Absolutely enjoy your channel. My God continue to bless you and your family. Merry Christmas my Brother.
Yeah i've been rockin them since they sent me them too, last week. 😂
So much to know about sling shots
He’s my hero🤙🏼
Very nice video sir
Great vid Thanks!

Thanks for another video.
I shoot quarter inch steel and half inch steel
Thank you for a video :)
Well I know what my next project will be!
Careful it's addicting . start cutting your own bands and you have to try out every new piece of latex you find
Right on! Anywhere in particular I can get them? Hardware store or something. (I'm in Ontario, Canada)
Instead of elastics have you tried shrink tubing? solid and stays where you put it.
Elastics are good but have shelf life shrink tubing can be re-heated and stay in place if needed your thoughts?
Good information 👍
Helpful video. ✌👍
Mr fowler if i got .30 latex would a one inch straight cut be enough to hunt squirel or rabbits with 38 steel or 1/2in steel
Do a sup can test can you put a hole in it at 10 feet then it should be more then enough. make sure the can is held firmly in somthing or it wont go threw and wont be a fair test.
Fowler's Makery and Mischief thank you
Awesome 👍
I love slingshot ❤😀😍
Brasil🇧🇷🇧😍🇷
Awesome me to !!!! thanks for watching
great tips Im just starting out when my Orange one gets here
Like how you explain it,
So complicated when a sling shot is so simple
Coffee questions....I don't drink coffee but I noticed you do sometimes.
If you had it to do over again, would you choose: "10 pounds of legumes" (ie, coffee?).
Is that a lot? How long would that last? I know some people used to carry it on the fronteir.
They also made coffee substitutes. Have you ever made a coffee substitute? Would you make some video(s) about that?
Examples: brigham tea, roasted chicory, roasted dandelion root, etc. Some of these things had caffeine while some were for the flavor.
no i like my coffe but i would not choose that over my tools
Big fan sir
perfect video, keep'em coming

use weight bands
Just got my scout gen 2 today!!! It's awesome. I had a quick question. Are you going to sell Theraband gold bandsets on your website?
liked slingshots then bow and arrows
but now i make knifes and think gonna come back on slingshots
Just got into sling shots. It seems my band has stretched a bit. I've also anchored to the corner of my mouth. I believe that has seriously slowed my shots. If I were to go hunting... In not sure it'd do much to a squirrel or a rabbit. Should I consider shortening my band? Or increase my pull back closer to my ear(that will definitely Jack with my accuracy)?

Please giveaway slingshot big fan bro I like your every short
I am from India 🇮🇳
Thank you🤓
What size ammo would you advise for small game I.e. squirrel bird rabbit... and what slingshots could I buy on amazon to use
My dad says we can use marbles
You can DIY YOUR SLINGSHOT TOO
Have you used bicycle inner tubes? Rolling cutter looks like great tool so that's next purchase.
My life consists of reusing inner tubes, unfortunately they don’t have enough “snap” for slingshots.
I know this is a little off topic, but since you are making up band sets I was wondering what you would suggest for ideal bands for plinking with 3/8 inch clay ammo?
Do u have any latex free options for bands?
Muy buen trabajo amigo Saludos

I looked at your rubber band tied ... can we use the same rubber that make the slingshot and just cut it into thin piece to tied the band ??
You should make a rabbit stick.
Rabbit stick my yard is coved in them aftetr the last storm !
It’s just a stick, that’s all it is lol
A Ruler wears a crown, a rule is used to measure :-D

It comes with the bands set up for doing slingbow and they have enought wait to hunt with if you live in an area that allows it
The rubber inside the football works fine
Where did u get the band rolls can u put up a link please?
From SimpleShot. Link in description: simple-shot.com?aff=12
Amazon has a 6 feet roll of theraband gold for 11 dollars
I want to do like his so much.
It's worth buying the rolling cutter alone to make pizzas.
Lol
you should cut pizza with a knife. (more sterile than old pizza stuck in the cutter)
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Please, sir. Where can I find that rubber that I used to make a trap in my country? It is not available and is there an alternative to it? I find it in bad things and thanks
Have you ever done a whipped end to tie the rubber to the pouch?
I love slingshot ❤️❤️❤️ how to slingshots?????
Back in the 70s we used bike inner tubes
Do I want the torque, or the scout? They look the same size. I assume they take the same bands. Whats the difference? Thanks.
