@slingshotvibe The winner is posted in the slingshotforum.

@sohy3010 I like the pocket rocket 2. Did you know I just designed a hammergrip frame for John? Check it out on his channel.

when people make stupid comments, Joerg always has the best comebacks. This is the only place on RU-vid where the comments section is entertaining.

@philmcd831 Not necessarily, no. Whatever you feel is more comfortable. When I try changing my shooting hand, terrible things happen.

@darkmaster071 Rocks. Pebbles. Marbles. Hex nuts. Steel balls. Lead balls. Slingshots aren't picky when it comes down to ammo.

@philmcd831 Some of my strongest slingshots have much more powerful bands on them. but then again I am a strong guy with lots of practice. The power bands also require very heavy ammo. Gamekeeper's bands are as strong as it makes sense for a commercial product.

@iTZzArJuN Well, find halfway round ones. Up to 20 yards they shoot fine.

Witch is better for hunting pocket rocket gamekeeper or demon gamekeeper.

Your weight gauge is very happy.

@iamLuco No... they say my vids are "not family friendly". Well, fpsrussia is a partner, obviously he is more friendly than I am. My sawblade video now has an age limit, can you believe? This must be the only age limited video with NO sex, swearing, and brutality.

Joerg what do you think about commercial slingshots like trumark and barrnet? i was thinking about getting heavey pull bands for my old trumark wristrocket. Should i just get a slingshot with fibre optic sights, because i do alot of hunting.

what would be better for hunting a pro diablo or gamekeeper catapult ?

Wow 10 years ago, amazing how theraband gold double bamds have been now put classed by single modern bands

has the gamekeeper got a website? Where can we buy his catapults?

@longboarders Why do you call some of them slingshots and some catapults?

@longboarders1 Contact address is in the video, towards the end.

When I saw "Win a Slingshot," my first thought was could it be? Joerg is giving away a grenade shooting slingshot, a fire shooting slingshot, or even a chuck norris action figure shooting slingshot. I was very excited. Then I saw this beast and I nearly poohed myself. Thanks for your videos joerg, I am thoroughly entertained by each one

How many slingshots/rubber powered weapons does the guy have

where do you find those 16mm lead balls? i really cant find any

@05you2 Yes, I reuse it a lot. Made myself a catch box, from steel, which I have to hammer back into shape once a month or so. If the lead is dented too much, I melt it and re-cast.

@versatilechicken Yes, I have done all the planning. But I haven't found a location for making it, this will be as big as a car.

well the game keeper sling shots have more power than other hunting sling shots which dont get up to 28lb of power while his do

@bamify777 And what if you slip crossing a street, and the car driver doesn't see you? You'd be run over. Ouch! I think it is best for you to never leave your home. Eat with spoons and drink from plastic bottles only:) Seriously, such accidents never happen, and for the less strong shooters there are weaker bands.

for sure the gamekeepers !!! they are realy good made

@benrocks58 If your product is good, yes, with pleasure. I only test frames that I believe in. Present your designs on the forum, then we will see.

@Tux3d0 I don't recommend these products for hammer grip shooting.

The way you say 'pocket rocket'. AAAH good god I love you German types :D

"And it also has a pinky hole... I like that" lol :o)

i want the pather poacher with the metal frame and build a stronger band with the thera gold elastic buy making a 4 band for extra power bands

which slingshot is best for shooting for someone who generally shoots Hammer Grip style out of these three?

everyone you can buy his slingshots on ebay search gamekeeper catapult they are there :)

Jorge are your slings more powerful than the gamekeeper catapult I'm thinking of buying one I have a milbro fitted with double theraband gold at the moment

Joerg I'm right handed but for some reason hold my catapult in my right and pull back with my left will this effect my aim

3:34 I thought he was going to let the device go and crush against the clamp XD

Where can I buy one

Will leave my usual a d heartfelt comment...Jörg is an ingenious beast and this is my all time favorite channel! The ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed is not replicated by any other channel. Thank you Jörg!

Gamekeeper are very good slingshots they look very powerful

U should shoot a medival chest plate.

Can you chronograph this with smaller ammo like 9.5mm steel?

How much do the lead shots cost? Also, do you retrieve and reuse them?

These look like great slingshots I'm buying one very soon:)

Great designs, wonderful finish, super neat bands from his ingenious banding rig. Not ashamed to say I copied pretty much everything he's done when I made my own, except the parts I copied from Joerg of course.

Very nice reveiw. Joerg.

@JoergSprave Yes I know that, but what if i were to transition to fork shooting with these?

@pyrea17 Reapplied two times already, same answer.

how do u make them

id love to buy one and play with it a bit, but i wouldent know what to shoot with it.

Where can l buy those slingshots please ? Thanks Paolo from France

and do u think its better than huntercatapults?

Joerg Sprave...the big brother everyone wishes they had

@longboarders1 Have you emailed John?

in fact im going to pick one up soon myself

What's your cats' name?

which one is your favourite out of the 3?

Those are some very decent prices for what looks to be a good little sling shot. Thanks for sharing with us.

omg!!! his band draw thingie has a happy face :)

Hey Joerg, i read your post on the forums that you were gonna finish a cannon that fire three kilogram steel balls?

what if you could make slingshots that were specifically designed for airsoft pellets so you can use them in a game!

@Roadkilla9 At least you are one of the few hard to find honest youngsters on youtube. It seems to me that 99% of all underage teens have a yt account that allows them to see everything.

who won

@sohy3010 Both products are very good.

Lovely slingshots, great shooting aswell my friend.

This will be perfect for those damn rabbits that keep eating my flowers.

Pocket rocket 2 i mention

Who records your videos?

Oldmansballbag is the funniest youtube name I have ever heard.

@JoergSprave agreed!

Nice new background on your channel page. It would not let me leave this comment there for some reason so I will leave it here. Awesome channel. I also like all the different style sling shots you build. I have a crossman wrist rocket That I am decently accurate with. I think I want to make one like the more simple ones you make.

@JoergSprave That is just crazy ... some immature, 21 year-old intern must have made that decision. You seem to be one of the most geniune, friendly, and honest people I've ever seen on RU-vid. The FIRST time I saw one of your videos I subscribed. You have a loyal fan here.

Hello Joerg. I'm in Australia NSW and I'm 11 years of age. I was wondering what a good slingshot for me could be? Can you give me some choices? Thank You

@longboarders1 i ment to commet to joerg

Sorry for wrong spelling of your name there joerg

moi et mon mari adorons vos vidéos

wow nice shooting, i would love to see you hunt squirrels or rabbits with that.

@viccolfari2canibals Mercy beaucoup!

i want one that was awesome

Thanks for doing this performance review. Just for a personal experience note to anyone interested, on the business side of things I ordered from John last week and he is very professional man to communicate and do business with. Greg

Joerg; I don't understand what to do, to win a slingshot... Jakey.

keep on bring them videos ay

Good slingshots

@Duckyz117 heh, and I could barely avoid to use the word "freak" ;-)

the plastic toys arent any cheaper, what a bargain! great offer.

@JoergSprave That doesn't make any sense and is completely unfair. Your videos include some math, some basic mechanical physics, sometimes your cat in the background, you have 19k subs, great scenery and probably the nicest outro in all of RU-vid. I'll be writing a letter to YT to complain at the inequality especially since they'll partner people who cuss on their videos and make grotesque skits, yet your educational videos are being turned down!!!

tres belle piece !

@JoergSprave Seriously? That sure shows how selective those guys are..

I like slingshots.

Oldmansballbag? ROFLMAO!!

@JoergSprave thanks Joerg :) il check it out

I JUST BOUGHT ONE, THANKS!

4:38 Kitty ! :)

@JoergSprave wow that's dumb! Fps russia is the kind of channel that would be rated as restricted (not that I don't like him), and all you do is make awesome weapons and contraptions (I have not heard you swear once), your videos are some of the best on youtube, they show amazing ingenuity and thoughtfulness, as well as safety sence (usually) I might say, and they deny you partnership? You should reapply, your audience obviously doesn't find any of your vids offensive! Look at the likes!

@JoergSprave yo, i dont think rocks are very good ammo, i lost my steel ball so started using rocks, they tor my bands :(

@JoergSprave that is fery unfair. your are a brilliant designer and fabricator of clever weaponary. all fps russia is doing is trying to get the Callofduty kids to subscribe. Joerg is the KING

I want one!~!!!!!

Very nice!

Awesome slings for the price!

Dang, i love your creations

@JoergSprave its such a shame about your circular saw video :/ i really wanted to see it as well but it wouldnt let me because im not 18. oh well. keep up the good work anyway joerg!
