Turn your christmas tree into a deadly slingshot crossbow!

This is a video specifically for the survivalists! Because if you find yourself in a TEOTWAWKI situation, you will have to hunt down your food as supermarkets will be looted in no time. Of course you can make a slingshot very easily if you have some rubber, but without practice, a slingshot is worthless as a hunting weapon.
A slingshot crossbow is a different issue. It allows you to hit small game from distances between 10 and 30 meters easily, even without any kind of practice.
But how do you make a slingshot crossbow when you are out in the wild, without power tools, without a DIY market for the parts?
This video shows how to make a very accurate slingshot crossbow from tree branches and twigs, with nothing but a pocket knife as a tool. So as long as you keep some rubber in your BOB, you can make a very accurate and effective hunting weapon in a couple of hours.
Of course you can use any tree branch for the weapon, but in this video, an old christmas tree is used for the stock/frame of the weapon. This adds a nice touch to this The Slingshot Channel production!

@rippinreffers Yes, she does help me sometimes. She actually loves this new weapon here, she was able to hit the water bottles from 15 meters easily.

Well, I am making it... it's not christmas tree, but some sticks. And frame is already finished, I burned the whole frame a bit to give it a nice black colour and polished it. Now all I have to do is assemble the trigger put rubber bands on and make a pouch and I can take it to paintball :)

@versatilechicken Well, you have to attach a "twig" stump to the broom stick. You can do that with a piece of wood and a bolt/nut.

Hi Jörg, I built a crossbow like this while camping. Thank you for the inspiration. It fired pebbles about 70-100 meters into a lake. Very cool. Best, Christian

Hallo Joerg, Ich bin auch einer von denen, die sich mit Survival beschäftigen - und dass, was Du hier gebaut hasst, ist wirklich ein Wahnsinn! Gott sei Dank dass es Leute wie Du gibt, die auch etwas neues entwickeln, und nicht nur blind das schon erfundene kopieren! Gute Arbeit! Dominik

@jamiesonclements You did not get the point. This can be made in the bush, with a pocket knife. Ball bearings and co. belong to a different line I sometimes follow, but not here.

U are a true master,, i am more than shocked to see how u can make sling shot out of nothing, i have no words to express how i like u and ur works, and u actually got me in the slingshot "business", i will start working on my first slingshot inspired by u, tomorrow. Also, i think i should thank u for great vid's and tips, so thanks alot, and keep going!.
@Slingshotchannel
@Slingshotchannel 11 лет назад
Yes, they asked for my permission before hand. Was it presented OK? How was my "ranking"? Online version does not work outside of the UK.
@Slingshotchannel
@Slingshotchannel 13 лет назад
@GTFiorano This would clearly work, but it would have NO advantages over this design. It is actually not easy to attach a fork to the end of a tree branch when you are out in the wild without tools and parts.
@Slingshotchannel
@Slingshotchannel 13 лет назад
@5totheash Rubber looses power very quickly when you keep it stretched. The shots from such a weapon would be very weak at best.
@Slingshotchannel
@Slingshotchannel 13 лет назад
@ikswotianop Punch a larger hole in the middle of the pouch. Without such a hole, the ball can slip off, then you get these short shots.

@Slingshotchannel

@kenmccarty It is very easy. Simply take a length of paracord and attach both ends to the pouch. Then attach the rubber band to the loop.

@buddha4242
@buddha4242 11 лет назад
I have seen a lot of you designs, and this one has an elegance to it. I am totally gonna make one now. Those materials are really small, combined with a small pouch of tools, you have a "bushcraft weapon" like people in the woodsman community call it.

Many modern crossbows don't look like a bow anymore. To me, a crossbow is a muscle operated, trigger equipped weapon that has no tubular barrel. At least that is what the German law says.

@sonicknuckleswomble8927
@sonicknuckleswomble8927 4 года назад
Such a simple design but probably one of your best for that reason! I especially love how the trigger and band setup could be changed to be very quickly added to a hiking stick or a large axe with that step for the steel balls already built into the frame with no loss in strength or function. For a blunderbuss type setup you could cut a small notch in the step to keep the pouch closed, with a small hole on the top end of the pouch for loading, then all you need do is attach a tiny funnel, that is tied onto the stock and secured in place with rubber of course, to the pouch, get out a paper packet of shot, pour it in, remove the funnel and away you go!

you could take this design and attach a roller bearing to the tip where the rubber connects and have a very much extended band attached to the bottom of the gun (somewhere under the trigger mechanism) and increase the power of this exponentially by doubling the band length
