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
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.
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.
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
@@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
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 :)
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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 😂
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).
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
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).
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!! :)
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.
Now spearhunting using slingshot is quite popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam & Thailand...asians skill & expert at using slingshots are incomparable.
@@irmaztamal21 philippines too, the locals call it tiksay, the fishing dart, a lot make their own or have it made in a local junkshop or hardware or vulcanizing shop.
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
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

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.

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

Its so much fun brotha

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.
So do they have to hit the red inner dot? Or just the yellow plate?
Plz tell me Wich bands are better for slingshot tubular bands or flat bands
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

Are there any of them in Jordan?
why no glasses? suppose the spring snapped at the neck and took out an eye?
SNP government will probably want you to register all catapults in the next few years...

Amazing. They must have nerves of steel, to participate in that competitive vaping event while people are shooting catapults all around them.
It's gamekeeper John I love his channel
0:10 NO DRIVING 🤔
The venue is probably used as an indoor golf putting range on certain days
0:26 NO TOOTH
The slingshot training is good, but in Indonesia it's also fun, just check it here

Hello and welcome to the Slingshotchannel.
Needed a down range camera angle to get a perspective of distance
I also shoot "Gangster", due to my uniphoxx having a sight groove on the side of the fork 🤣
Pinged it LARGE 😝

Oh, I thought the title was talking about compound bows!!
Some decent shots in that hall
Guava tree branches are the best

Me too , im Philippines
Here in Ireland ,we would mostly use the fork branch of the hazel tree.
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.
what kind of ammo do u guys use
tungsten carbide 15mm bearings
need a license for a catapult in the UK?
No
@@fieldsportstv wait until someone gets assaulted with one, then it breaks and lodges under the skin and gets infected

They're called : Slingshots!
NO IN THE UK THEY’RE CALLED CATAPULTS
a picklefork is not a slingshot. its a hazard. its basicly a lose canon on a stick. thats my experience
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
love the pickle Forks
True
I was thinking why is it illegal to hunt with a bow but it is legal to hunt with a catapult?
Dunno

Sharpshooter nice.
Never mess with south East Asian... They are all pro shooter in this type😁
