New sub, new flatbander. I use a slingshot as a reference for my recurve. Keeps me in “instinctive” practice. I don’t know why I never used flat bands before. Great content. Thank you sir.

I own the hammer Lt head and xt handle. I can run any band set the xt can handle. Just a thought. Love your video. I watch all the simple shot videos. I love it when he chronographs different band sets. I only use flatbands since watching him.

Thank you!

Another recommendation is the Milbro Folding Slingshot With Laser (MILFLATFOLDLAS). Similar to the Hammer, but only takes flatbands. Folding brace, ammo storage in the handle with a nice little dispensing mechanism, fibreoptics & laser for those interested in that type of thing. Twenty quid. Bargain

Good call on the armored gloves. I accidentally speed bumped my scout and hit my index finger. Luckily it was with the clay balls but that sucker hurt. Reminded me of this video.

Buddy!!👏👏👏 You're well aware that I love to point out any problems with long explanations. There's no need here, you're spot on! It's all about the bands. Asking what's the most powerful slingshot is like asking, what's the most powerful .22 rifle. It depends on what ammo you're stuffing in it. The rifle only needs to tolerate the force, fork in this case. I agree with the hammer as the best option for many reasons. The stability as mentioned is first. Second, no matter where your slinging experience takes you, the hammer will accommodate. Lastly, it has a wide gap, much easier to gain accuracy with. I won't bother going into the reasons for that, unless someone asks and they should feel free to do so. My style has evolved over time and settled on heavy bands at half butterfly. Make no mistake, it took a lot of training to pull those with no shaking and be accurate. Novices, take his advice and start with a short/face draw. Learn the basics and then gradually increase your draw length. With my setup, I shoot either 9.5 mm or 8 mm steel. If I need to reach out at extreme range, I'll use 8mm, knowing I'm not going to hit as hard or as accurately because of distance. Closer, 9.5 is the go to. I'm focused on hunting and a humane kill. That means I'd rather take my chances stalking closer and use my heavy ammo than risk a long shot and leave a critter to suffer. It appears I didn't avoid a long explanation, but that's my own failing and no argument against the points mentioned here. Have a great day buddy 👍

Spot on my friend!!! Great info! Videos like this are valuable! Appreciate you brother! 🙏👊

Great information! Thank you.

Thanks for the video as usual, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving as well.

thanks my good sir...just subbed...love your videos

Thank you. God bless.

Great informative vid!! What make/ brand is your beanie hat in this video please?

Excellent video brother qnd thank you for the shoutout. Your awesome. I hope to get the time start back shooting very soon.

That's right bud good job loved it

Good video and good info.

Good information. I've met and camped with Nathan and Can. Also communicate with Chuckin quite a lot and we've all done some trading. But I think you're leaving out one very good sling manufacturer. Saunders archery. They were the very first to make the wrist rocket and have been in business since 1954. I've spoken with Chuck Saunders often. So check out the pro X, Wing and even the falcon from Saunders archery. I've done a review on the pro X on my KZfaq channel. Take care brother 👍

Well said brother 👏👍 excellent video.

Mate all you need is a lee precision smelter pot, Lee, Marty's, Lyman or Russian Svarog or AS moulds and a mate who's a roofer haha or as I do, a spot of roofing myself. Bubba Roundtree/ Wade will teach you the little you need to know about casting. Just bought a Hammer XT from America on your recommendation and a 1inch, 1mm sheshou band from Cattyshak in the UK :)

Great video for a Thanksgiving day yes

That's badass man. The hammer. That's a tough slingshot

Lol... Friday Eve... Saturday Eve.. You're genius. Seriously. 😀

I agree, as someone who's been shooting slingshots since I was 5 years old, bro.

In world war 2 the Germans built a powerful mortar that was so large it needed a small army to fire one shot, bombers could follow the railway needed to supply ammunition

The Saunders Pro X wrist rocket folds up compact but when it is open the double flat bands extend to butterfly length draw at your anchor point by the mouth. It also protects your hand when shooting darts. It is designed to shoot at least a .45 cal lead ball but recommends .50 cal lead.

What runs past in the background at 4:40 ?

Power is the ability to do work. It can be fast; slow rotational; linear. I use 4x 3/8" tubes with ritating cams. 14lb draw. For lead 9mm 3/8". Or marbles. But wouldnt use it for 2/8 steel. But the energy might be the same. No such think as "the most powerfull". Water is powerfull but not sitting in a tea cup.

The scout is my favorite and the Chinese stainless steel mini with cocabolo handles

Great video. You're becoming one of my favorite channels. If you want to check out something awesome I've had a Badass slingbow for a few years. That is the brand "Badass" This thing is a beast and if you can ever get your hands on one I recommend it 10 out of 10.

Black powder round balls .

Really good topic every beginner should have covered as soon as possible! As for frames, here's my all time favorite for power kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZ2GZqmEltvTc6s.html My starship isn't pocketable, but it still fits really nicely in a backpack. Great for survival.

You absolutly right ! And this Problem is in Archery too. People (Mostly Men 😂😂😂!!!Iam quilty too 😂!)Want to Shoot heavy Bows from the beginning but start to shake because they dont have the Muscle Training You need for Archery and than be upset because they not hit the Target! Than sale the too heavy Bow and buy a less Powerful one😁after that move it works most of the Time but hey we all Humans so dont be so strikt on that ! I find out that Flatbands are right for me and less Power is better for my shooting! Lesson learnd so i can grow better in that Sport and last but not least have more fun! Iwish You the best God pless!

Wanted to take a moment to wish u n ur family a Happy Thanksgiving may ur day be blessed with peace and happiness

You sound like the nicest guy...

Power is for fun

Personally, i’d say the most powerful i’ve gotten in a slingshot is 210mm double layer snipersling premium black on my hammer XT i’ve gotten around 383 fps with that on a nice warm day. anyway happy thanksgiving eve

I thought he was gonna ask me about giving my life over to Jesus Christ! Am I the only one?

TURKEY DAY is here! I’m jealous you are getting to wear a jacket and hat. Here on the Gulf Coast of Texas, that usually doesn’t happen until January. 🤷‍♂️ When I was kid, we were pretty adept at choosing particular rocks as ammo. We knew which ones would fly straight and flat, ones that will curve left or right, etc. Is that even done anymore? Happy Thanksgiving, Bud!
