Just ask Goliath.
At about eleven years old, I was one of three girls who decided to compete to see who could "come closest" to a passing car, using our hand made slings and shooting a pebble UP, so that it would come back down at the car. I won. My parents had to pay for the windshield, and I couldn't sit down for about a week. I mostly gave up on sling "hunting" then. Yes, a sling is a great hunting tool!
a sling can easily kill a man, what kills a man kills a deer. The sling is a dangerous weapon you can make from one of your shoes
Hi Lilly, part of the problem with rocks as ammo is that they are of different shapes and weights so they will change directions in flight. You should use lead fishing weights like egg style weights in the 3-4 oz. size. These weights have holes in them that you could attach a piece of yellow or bright green ribbon to. If you wrap the ribbon around the weight it will unravel and act as a rudder when you release it. If you use 3` of ribbon it will easily be found as you will know what to look for and all the animals will see is a little bit of yellow or green fluttering in the breeze looking like leaves and won`t run away, the fishing weights will have the same shape and weight perfect for accuracy. I hope you find this helpful, Peace and brother love to you and all.
That shot wasn’t luck. My grandfather used to tell me “if you were aiming for it, it wasn’t luck!” So great shot. I love your accent btw
Inanimate squirrels lives matter, I.S.L.M.....😂🤣😅😆😅🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its not luck. Its the height of instinctive shooting and so it feels just lucky but you just were in the zone. Repeating 'being in the zone' simply takes practice.
Put it on a stick and you've got a "staff sling". It's more accurate and more powerful. In fact it's believed David killed Goliath with a staff sling because he was a shepherd. shepherds carried a staff.
Ever heard of Clan of the Cave Bear?! Ayla was a pro!

Great video, and thanks for sharing! I just got started slinging a few weeks ago. For practice, I've been using tennis balls. I get practice, my dog gets a lot of exercise, and I don't have to worry about ammo, because she brings it back to me!
A sling isn't an easy weapon to use. Each rotation / release has to be the same to achieve accuracy. Your projectiles need to be around the same weight as well. Keep practicing. you're doing great.
A modern David. Great to see you out and about. As a recent recovery from long-covid, go slow. Good to see you outside and in the woods. Thanks Lilly.
I have taken Primitive Slings to heart. The "Figure 8" throw is my way of delivering stone to target. Good video 👍
Several studies about slings were done using replicated "bullets" made of lead. The 1oz football shaped (oval) projectiles hit as hard at medium/short range as a .45 handgun. ;)
I'm happy that you showed the missed shots so we can see how hard it is. Too many UA-camrs want to look like they're perfect all the time.
I exchanged e-mails with Lloyd from Lindybeige about the Hittites, Romans, Athenians, Spartans, and the Greeks possibly using fired clay "Bullets" with a sling. He agreed with me that it wasn't too labor intensive for an army in the field to make hundreds if not thousands of the hard fired clay bullets, however he disagreed that it was commonly done. As there is no recovered archeological evidence he didn't feel he could say that it was done commonly. He did say there were treatises and small bits of written records, of simple dried clay being used, but there was no way to verify if fired clay was used.
Good video. In my youth I tried to become proficient with a sling and came to the conclusion that primitive traps would be more productive in a survival situation. Caches of the Mojave scissors trap have been found in the desert southwest. These traps were believed to have been used for harvesting rodents. Rodents would be difficult to hit with a sling.
I'm an 84 year old Missouri Ozark Hill Billy that grew up hunting small game up to turkey size with the typical forked sling shot, but history shows YES the sling your useing is an effective weapon.-
