Great to see a new video featuring staff slings. I'm obsessed with hand slinging and staff slinging and I could maybe offer some advice on the design. I would say that the sling is a little too long and the metal bar and washer are unnecessary extra weight. A lighter staff allows it to move faster and so impart more energy. Bamboo also might not be the best material for the staff. As you saw, it broke twice. The pouch as well was kind of over-sized I would say. You can get away with a smaller one. The giant stock whip was really awesome :D Great video!

You guys are always having so much fun! Great video!

Great quality.. good to see this channel growing! 👍

That is an awesome build, very cool.

That thumbnail is a work of art, y'all definitely killed it with this one!

Awesome!

That's cool! I like the whip, too.

That was neat I like the vapor clouds.

Dont get bored of the staff sling. just make it a manageable size. Think walking stick that throws fist sized stones. These things are fun as hell. the hook should be carved out of the stick if necessary, no steel pole required.

The pouch you could make from a rectangular piece of leather, cut longways down the centre about 30% from each end, leaving 40% uncut in the centre. Punch two eyeholes, one on each finger at each end, so each end has two holes, which you overlap and run your paracord through. Also punch two eyeholes and the juncture at the end of each cut, which will allow the overlap easily without crimping up - a nice neat overlap! This pouch will give you a cupped effect to hold the missile while allowing it to be free on release. I found this works very well if you have good strong leather! Another tip! A Trebuchet does not sling from the side, but directly overhead, so why not try the same and aim to keep the staff in a similar line to the way a trebuchet would do! You may find greater accuracy and perhaps consider the pivot point of your left and right hand as part of the whole throwing action, if you can mimic a trebuchet that never changes the line of fire, or pivot point, I am sure you will have more success!

can it be combined with other hafted weapons?

thanks nice video sir im going to try it this 2021 your welcome sir

First super sonic weapon.

7:35 holy cow!

I never had the chance to use my sling back then.

That duct tape looks like the Gorilla brand. That stuff is super tough and super sticky. I used to work for a product testing lab and I put that tape through its paces.

it can also launch molotov cocktails.

Cut a bit more of the staff and cut your string down to about 1/3 of there length. Make your pouch half that size.

Only way to achieve the new world record in distance is to use staff slings. With ammunition being a piece of lead or a heavy metal dart.

Hello.

it was the original trebuchet

Made my share and mine were much more simple than that. No need for the steel rod.

Bit big for a sling staff A portable trebuchet yes ,but no sling staff.

You guys should do hunting videos and shoot guns

I think your pouch lines are way too long.

What a needlessly complicated way to build a simple weapon.

actualy built one my self it has a range of 1 football field
