- In this Video were slinging at 10 meters with 5 different size slings from 36” - 144” .This was definitely one of my good days but if you would like any of these slings in your color here's how you can get em.
If you want a custom made Smiling Sling for yourself this is how you can get your own.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
Man that accuracy with the 60" is crazy. Living embodiment of David right there.
He stands pretty close to the Target
great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I would say your accuracy with each reflects how much you use each size more than the inherent accuracy of a given length.
Fair enough
If you could get access to a radar speed gun it would be interesting to see the effect of the different size slings on ball speed.
I get the feeling that slinging is slowly coming back into vogue, and you're leading the charge! God stuff as always, Channing!
That's my goal.Every kid should know this skill or atheist know about it.
I had no idea people actually do this. It's awesome! When I was a kid I saw a movie called " clan of the cave bear" and they used slings. So I mad one with some string and an old shirt for the amo. I used to use it to get the apples out of my yard. Made yard work fun. I could throw an apple 2 streets over. I feel bad for the everything I probably hit. But I was a kid.
I haven’t heard that south Louisiana accent since I worked in the gulf 20 odd years ago! 🙂 Good stuff-I’m just starting to tinker with slinging (learning the knots now) but it looks like it’s going to be fun! 👍
"one goes to your elbow,one goes to your shoulder......I dunno".yeah im subscribing. slings are neat, id love to see if there could be some sort of sling science developed to make the perfect shot most times like an arrow. I bet we could bring it back in the western world as som kind of off sport and turn it olympic.
I know you said the 12ft sling is too long and slows the projectile down but dang if those balls didnt sound like they would kill an elephant!
Hi I just got into slings , what materials can I use best? I don’t like how mine kinda stretches and has some give
I was so confused at first because when I measure my sling I just measure the bottom of the pouch to the end of the throwing arm . So when you said a 36 inch sling I was like that should be a lot bigger that or he tall af. Anyways keep up the great work, your videos are very informative!
Would you put the 12 ft one on the store cause id love to have one just to show off and have some crazy fun even though it wouldn't be practical what so ever
Another way to have found the length of the "12ft" sling was, in fact, in having held it with your outstretched arms like that. Your arms outstretched to a T measures to about one fathom, which is 2 yards, which is 6 feet. The length of your outstretched arms is also relatively equal to your overall height, which is why one would consider a "fathom" relative when using their arms
Cool and interesting video. Would be interesting to measure the speeds of the ball out of each sling and also the hitting power of each
his accent is what i imagine when i think of an american
That is great consistency, good setup too!
I'd like to see how you do at 20m.
I see them old Aedes Aegypti skeeters are gettin' ya, Channing. Those are known as the state bird of Texas (and Louisiana if you like). They are one reason I moved from the Texas gulf coast to northern Arkansas.
This is the worst time of the year for them.
The long slings feels alot more accurate from longer distances. I think it has to do with the projectile being furter from the throwing hand, making it quite hard for the brain to coordinate. Personally i can't hit anything with a short sling
I can appreciate your fight with the skeeters.
You're inspiring me to create a character in one of my stories with a sling!
Awesome!
I love your vid ! I find the weight of the object and the size really affects accuracy. I mold lead into Golfballs so the size is consistent and the weight is heavy and I’m pretty confident I could make David proud !
Ah I wanted to make an 80 cm sling to start (with rocks)... Guess from this test that's WAY too short for me (especially being a fair bit taller than you). 48 inches or longer it is. Good video. Edit: OK 60 (about 150 cm) it is.
You did good. I have a question, you can throw the ball at the target at close distance, I though that these were supposed to be used at a distance after you learn to use them. What is the longest distance you can sling a baseball and hit the target? Try trowing the ball and see how back before you can hit it and then step back another 10 yards and use the sling.
Also try just spinning the ball over head 3 times instead of 6 and see what happens. I have watch several of your videos and you are getting good.
Man, those bugs were tearing you up. :) Looks like you had a lot of fun though!
Anyone else get to “hey everybody!”,& thought fuck this 😂😂
The 60" had the advantage of warm up throws beforehand.
I'd probably be in trouble for destroying the scoreboard.
Finally, someone who does overhead swing like a real man and not the sideswing like a sissy.
So law of diminishing returns kicks you in the nuts after 60inches
Can you hit a cricket stump by throwing the ball like this?
i thought they were measured like your holding it not unfolded lmao
I like the board in the back it would not be save when i shot
Has to be one of the least accurate weapon ever invented
The long one seems useless. Loading it seems like its not worth the bang. The first and second ones were money! You're dangerous with a sling
I meant 2nd and 3rd
with the longest one, let it go on the second spin
Alright, 60" it is. Im sold
I like how you can nail the targets with force. Your shots are not some weak and slow trick shots to gain accuracy to hit the target. I have watched those competition videos and I can tell you are one of the hardest hitter amongst them. So why does it matter to hit hard when you gain points from hits. For me it's the reason that sling is a weapon. In ancient times there was no point of using a sling if you can't terminate your targets with force.🙄
Good slinging and I hope you get some fame for your smiling slings.
Thanks Riku.I purposely sling as if I was slinging for food or in battle.
Dude just rewatched this , 9 Diana’s in a row!!!! Ooooo
I done forgot I did that back then lol
Nice.
Damm nice bro
#PracticalParacord
Really interesting. Thank you. I am going to make and learn to use slings with my grandson
Those mosquitoes musta been particularly carnivorous 😳
Very nice video thanks for sharing. Your the best I have seen slinging. Kudos
Damn! You're amazing with that thing.
he sounds like french montana lol
bout to make a 60" after this lmao nice shootin tex
Yadda yadda, hoopty hoo, lets go!
I love it
Your channel is dope!
“GREAT” point about length/weight ratio. I’m learning a lot about that being new to Slinging! Also did you mean baseball weight rocks or size? Thank You again?
Yes and yes Baseball weighted rocks
So, I got into making paracord whips long before it occurred to me to make a sling with some....I notice in this video, it sounds like the end of your sling is cracking like a whip, or is this just an effect from the camera's mic and the environment you are slinging in?
Its actually a Kevlar whipcracker lol
im a beginner , i just got a 60" from channing , now i can't help but wonder if i should also have a 72" what are some of the considerations for different lengths ?
Thanks!
ps: im about the same height as Channing im 5'10" or 178cm tall
If your a slinger an 80 Inch would show you what kind of power a sling really has
Bet them base balls are bruised up pretty good. lol You're a bad dude ! Thanks for the video and your time doing this. Beginner here, started with a home made 72 incher. Now I know I need to take it down to half that. Thanks again ! Good luck in Spain !
Thanks Kevin! Glad I could help.
Wow! 🤩 Thank you! Greeetz from Leipzig!
Greetz
Need to get a radar.
Sweet man!
Just wondering if the target needs to be a certain size for the distance you use.
Same target every time
I just started three days ago and yesterday I was able to mimic your technique and sling a few stones about 70m. I absolutely love that I stumbled upon this channel and can't wait to buy one of your 60' slings. How do you deal with the elbow/shoulder pain?
Thanks bro. As for the pain it will go away once your technique gets better and use more of your body and wrist.
I still can't do it over hand
Do what feels comfortable. My style might not be for everyone
Great video like always. I would like to know how many strands you use for your slings and what the weight is (i think ill buy one, because they look cool and the performance is great)
He uses four strands, the slings are surprisingly light, and the adjustable pouch allows you to sling a variety of rock sizes very safely without them flying out. They have dual finger loops, which isn't a typical design feature, but actually works extremely well for dissipating pressure when slinging for a long time. The build quality is absolutely fantastic, if you live in the US it is definitely worth a buy, hell, I brought one (60") and I live outside the US, so I payed out the ass for shipping costs. Hope this helps.
@@User-ru1sq Yes that helped. Ill buy one tomorrow
Great breakdown! Thanks bro.
How fast can this go
Depends on your sling length, projectile type, and how powerful you are. Luis Pons Livermore once slang a 250 gram stone 116mph (52m/s)!
Over 120 mph.
Sehr gut. Tennisbälle?
Ich würde sagen Baseball Bälle
wenn Tennisbälle abprallen, fliegen sie viel weiter.
@@mikeg4365 Yes. I know. 😂 It's a good workout. But not Balearic. Only tennis balls are allowed in the Pelotas class.
