New slingshots, guys! Yes, I have made another three pieces.
This presentation includes the revolutionary "H" slingshot, with a roller based draw length extension. Using very wide, thick flat bands, the amount of power that has been achieved is tremendous.
This video contains super slow motion material shot with the Casio EX-F1 Pro camera at 1200 frames per second.

Got this randomly recommended today. Quite interesting to see some of his old videos again

@longleaf1217 3 года назад

same, interesting to see videos from when he was the slingshot guy and not the instant legolas guy.

@Slingshotchannel 13 лет назад

@LAMBOFGODNOOBLUKEC 1. I am not sad, as I have a hobby that I love dearly. 2. No 6 year old kid can draw out my slingshots, believe me. 3. I legally own 34 firearms, but I can't shoot them in my garden, plus they create noise, stink and costs.

@oktc68 3 года назад

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such a well thought out design as your "H" pattern slingshot. Sad? Definitely not. Obviously the opinion of a an eejut who has nothing better to do with their time than hate on people. May his arse itch until the end of his days.

@BelloBudo007 3 года назад

@@oktc68 Initially when he showed the 3 slingshots I couldn't comprehend the advantage of the design of the H. I even wondered if perhaps it was over engineered. He explained it perfectly though. Now I'm only curious about accuracy & effective range.

@Slingshotchannel 13 лет назад

@mosspump22 You can't buy these, I make them for my own collection and never sell. This is just a hobby.

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

I use Thera Band, you can find it on ebay. Gold, Black and Blue work best. You need a rollcutter and a steel ruler to cut the bands from the Thera Band, it is very wide when you buy it (14 cm).

@Slingshotchannel 12 лет назад

In order to draw out strong rubber, the slingshot must be designed right. Grip comfort, wrist strain, efficient attachment and frame stability is crucial. As far as the rubber goes, I have a band manual (free pdf) and even a band dimension calculator on my website, check out the FAQ at slingshotchannel com.

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

Yes, exercise bands, Thera Band Gold made by the Hygienic Corp. You have to cut them with a ruler and a sharp knife.

@Aghitb 11 месяцев назад

thats crazy

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

Yes. The H is very powerful due to the flat bands, which are faster than tubes. But the tubes last longer and are powerful enough, the difference is not huge.

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

Well, the "H" requires welding equipment and skills. So it is not easy for an average person! It is my most powerful slingshot, more than 70 Joules of energy. That is much more than a BB gun does (air guns do 4 to 30 Joules, at the most).

@sidamarali3030 4 года назад

Thank you,sir.

@Slingshotchannel 12 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. Check out the FAQs on slingshotchannel com! I have an online band dimension calculator.

@S0ME0NESPANTS 13 лет назад

Nobody will ever be as badass as this guy. EVER!!!

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

My strongest slingshot ever (the "H" achieved 72 Meters per second with 30 Gramm bullets. That is 78 Joules, almost as much as a .22 bullet from a pistol. But you need heavy bullets, the speed of rubber is limited. More than 80 Meters per second is noz possible, even with very light bullets.

Most of them. But I have just started to buy some commercial slingshots in order to compare them to my selfmade ones. Check out "The great slingshot shootout".

@jplxlabelle1681 6 лет назад

I've made a few OP slings in my day. I have to say, that H model sling is the way to go. With a few minor changes it could be Next-level-GOOD. I have an idea to make this and incorporate the action of a compound bow. I made a few variations in the past, but never thought to do it like this. This puts a whole new dimension on slings and their limits. I love your innovative weapon builds. I only tinker with slings tho

Hey Joerg, I love your videos and watch with interest... Slingshots may not have the range and power of firearms, but to folks interested in "primitive" wilderness survival skills; the sheer effectiveness of these "primitive" "childrens" "toys" will NEVER allow them to be outdated relics... keep it up... great work!!!

@fieryfoxproductios 13 лет назад

@daltonramsey9585 11 лет назад

that roller idea is plain genius

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

I welded the H from steel rods, from scratch. The metal balls are iron, not steel, and have been bought on ebay, for about 2 Euros a piece. They already come threaded, built to your order. Earlier, I used ball bearings, those are cheap, but you can't drill through them and welding is difficult.

I love your videos and your work, just wanted to point that out because it makes me crack up every time you shoot a sling shot!!! hahaha :)

@e.yunexplainedphenomena Год назад

Dude you got me into making my own slingshots

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

The tapering greatly enhances the power, because there is less weight at the end of the bands (the pouch side). For the other issues, why don't you register at the slingshotforum? I am a moderator there.

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

Certainly. If a band breaks at the fork, then the rubber hits you like a whipm on steroids, right in your face. An eye is a vulnerable body part that I, for one, don't want to loose.

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

Stu, flat bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. I think they have less inner friction than tubes, that's why. But they are harder to make and also they break earlier than tubes. No such thing as the perfect solution!

@chonyc77 13 лет назад

@eyebrid 3 года назад

It would be cool to see speed gun measurements. The third one really is a great functional improvement.

@uppitywhiteman6797 6 лет назад

On the "H" slingshot was good thinking. Amazing.

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

The "V" uses tubular rubber. It lasts longer, but is slower. Even the "H" can not really achieve much more than 300 fps, but that is no problem because you just use heavy bullets. Those have lots of energy even at a "slow" speed. My heaviest bullets are .91" lead balls.

@Omerack 13 лет назад

I like your "H" slingshot. Its like a compound bow in slingshot form! =D

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

@RussellDeacon 3 года назад

Did you ever start selling sling shots @joergsprave

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

If you aren't as strong as I am, then you would have to use weaker bands. Still, the power would be remarkable, you'd be surprised. My slingshots don't have a huge draw force, about 50 lbs is maximum. Most people can pull 50 lbs easily, bows often have 70 lbs or more. But you need a powerful grip, as you pull the pouch with just the thumb and index finger.

@Slingshotchannel 14 лет назад

What do you mean by "ripped"? If you refer to body strength, it is very easy to use individual (weaker) bands. Even a normal, untrained person can draw a quite powerful slingshot.

@Slingshotchannel 15 лет назад

Not very. I end up paying about 2 Euros (3 US dollars) for a set of bands. One set can last a few hundred shots.

@bl02569x 4 года назад

Hello Jörg! I've been watching some of your older videos and just stumbled over this Gem! With this H configuration do you estimate this to be so effective that extending the H in length even further for example by 10 or 20 cm might add power?

@duncanlanceoliver194 4 года назад

doing so would increase the inaccuracy and the strength required to compensate the upper and lower flex which would require the addition of a waist mount which doing so would in my mind make the act akin to basically the creation of turn your attempt of making a slingshot in a crossbow their is a honestly recommended limit of total size for a slingshot to 18 inch height and weight of 5 inch and depth of from 2 inch to a max of 4 inch once to go pass those guides your no longer making a slingshot your instead creating a crossbow or even a catapult

The next one I make I want to mount a wisker biscut on it and a zebco 33 fishing reel for bow fishing. Hopefully what you are doing will incourage young men to find things like this to put themselves into. Great job Sir !!!
