What's the best slingshot ammo for squirrels and pigeons? 

lol

Ball bearing steel, is a very high quality steel, that not many people know, it makes the best steel for a hard use fixed blade knife. Its carbides cut really smooth and easy and it's my favorite steel to sharpen. It just likes to get sharp! It's also one of the toughest steels arround. I have tried almost all the high quality tool steels and super steels out there...but ballbearing steel, will always be my favorite. Whenever I see slingshot ammo, I always think of a hammer,smashing them into a blade stock!!!

@@greekveteran2715 damn you know alot lol. Imma check your channel to see if u got any vids. If not I'll just sub anyways lol. I have only just started to get into slingshot hunting and really need tips for getting good 🤣😅

@@greekveteran2715 without me 44 subs and no vids! How you do that wizard craft

@@charlieberry8056 I don't have any videos but I can help you on 3 different things, that I really know and have experience. For Slingshot hunting, you have to get a good slingshot, with flat rubbers (stay away from the round rubber ones, that are made from steel and plastic, they are not accurate at all, even the most expensive ones) So, get a flat rubber band slingshot, made of laminate wood or any hard wood! Then for ammo, I guess you know what you need. RU-vid video and practice, help a lot. The diameter and the weight of the ball, determens the distance of the target. I mean, I would choose a more heavy ball, to shot at close distance and so on. Also the diameter of the ball, is another factor that will determine, what I'm going to shot. If I want to shot a glass window, then I choose a larger than 1mm diameter ball, to add to the power, that can break a glass easier. Be careful, I've seen steel balls, reflected from windows, back to the shooter! Always shot in an angle and don't be close to the target, except it's a Rabbit, that came in front of you! I'm also into blowguns, which is my favorite weapon, but fixed blade knives, is that what I know more about. I have huge collection, but I'm more a user trying always to find the best out there, than I am a collector. I don't "Baby" my knives, they all have been used for long periods, before I make my opinion on them. If I can help you more,please feel free to ask for anything I could possibly help. Thank you for your kind words.

That is what i'm thinking. Multiple shots of same ammo to determine the average penetration of each size or type of ammo..

Kendal Stewart thank you 👍

Brilliant - thanks so much. / Charlie

@@fieldsportstv Yes, could you please repeat that with a chronograph and 5-10 rounds for each ammunition size to calculate an average?

Search gamekeeper John

Search "Simple-Shot Slingshots", and learn from Nathan Masters; search "Fowler's Makery and Mischief" and learn from Zachary Fowler. Then there's Dan Ambrosius and Gamekeeper John. Enjoy your education!

Breathfire I never said anything about him being “bad”. My point wAs that the more aerodynamic the ammo, the better the flight. His mold maker needs a better sprue-cutter to eliminate the ridges which catch the air in flight on it’s way to the target. 😊

I'll third Fowler, he's a champion and he knows his stuff and his channel is not just slingshots, but airguns, bows etc. it's using them in the wild for catch and cook and other challenges like 30 day survival etc. It's a wide range channel and interesting.

@@snausagesmcgee3963 Interesting, I will have to check it out. I am still an amateur and experimenting, so I am all for trying different things and finding out what works best for me. Thank's for the tip.

Yes, I have several stunning hats, made by Steson and Resistol (in the same factory).

Yes do it! I'd like to see if it's a viable solution for a non-firearm hunting of small game.

Jackwagonery...that's all it can be to cause someone to vote down.

Will i still able to kill using 8mm balls?

Your muff cabbage. You think that's going to make a difference. Go kick cans.

What you said is true. More gel block should also be used, one block for each bullet.Almost because a bullet fired after the previous one could go further due to the channel already dug previously.

Stuart McCloud thank you mate. David is a good editor 😂👍

a live animal isn't restrained either.. so this is pretty accurate to what hunting penetrations would likely be....

Oh wow that's so smart, they're almost perfect circles and very hard

Wtf did u say

So can we assume that the 12.7mm is close to a 50 caliber ball 10mm is about 40 caliber ball.

I use to fill the center of m6 hex nuts with lead. Absolutely devastating when hunting

@@PrometheusFPV I would imagine so. Full metal jacket slingshot 😎

@@PrometheusFPV did this yesterday and today i've shot a pigeon and broke the head in half 😁

M.K. Chase 😂😂👍

Why don’t miss lol

Bernard thank you 👍

Yeah. A bit mystifying.

Right. He was wrong with some of his estimations. Why should he be right with the bands...

Cheers John. David

Me to

Me to

We do😅

Aldo Gutierrez yes, but not if you use 8mm steel 🤣🤣

Most likely. Some can kill a humans, and zombies are rotten and easier for the shots to travel through. Question is your aim, cause I know I wouldn’t hit shit

@@Charley-ju6yg really? Care to explain? Curious which bands and ammo can actually kill zombies

@@trexypoo5360 I can’t give any brand names or stuff like that unfortunately, as I’m not that far into slingshots. All I know is that some slingshots can definitely kill humans, and as mentioned, zombies have rotten flesh and deteriorated bones, so it would definitely be able to kill a zombie too. Some Weaker slingshots probably would be able to do it too

@@Charley-ju6yg why do you say definitely though? That’s what I’m wondering lol. Any sources or something?

@Dopey Dope 6.35mm or 0,63 cm

Known as "frameless shooting"...

@Dopey Dope Ask "Siri" or "Alexis" if you missed that math class.

Dopey Dope Your name is MOST appropriate!

.40 bands with 12mm steel, really? They would have to be some ridiculous tapers to even lob that ammo

@@neilclaydon2038 had this before check out pure latex in .40 simple shot can't get it any more I bought last 5 rolls it's not measured same buy yanks trust me throws it well

@@paulgrain19 .40 inch instead of millimetre?🤣

Wham-o wrist rocket

Wdym

@@lewisevans4655 my uncle has a farm in Newmarket Virginia and when I was a kid I would go out there with a metal detector and I would find mini balls and round shot the round shot worked real good in my slingshot so that’s what I shot for ammunition.

@@JK-dn4pu did you ever killed anyone?

@@qaching no, mostly squirrels

@@JK-dn4pu i want to use this for breaking car windows you think its safe to do it at a far distant so i don't get caught?

Alternative Perception we actually said this, and it’s something we may do in the future 👍

@@CattyShackHunter that would be great to watch 👍👍👍👍

lu Jake completely agree. I’ve found the perfect balance of all of those, speed / accuracy / impact / is 10mm lead / 11mm steel.

@@CattyShackHunter What size do you suggest for clay or mudballs whatever you call it there, it's mostly called mudballs here. Also, it's only on youtube I heard / saw about lead balls, it's mostly steel or mudballs in shopee

@@MangaGamified as light as possible really. Something like 0.5 band with a 20/15 taper, something like that.

Thanks

Slingshot and catapults are the same. The lead balls are large and single so, even if they do penetrate, you can easily extract them before you cook. / Charlie

Oh okay now i understand

Always, with every type of projectile weapon. Momentum is king.

LNK I’ve looked into tungsten ammunition, it’s a great alternative until you see the price! 😂

@@CattyShackHunter Yes even gold. i think a 200 grain projectile would be worth 1200$AUD. But if you're shooting indoors with a catch-box you wouldn't be loosing them. They would have the best mass to wind resistance ratio.
