Glad you like it, I use tennis balls because that’s what we do our comps with and it’s safer, and if you wax the pouch it will slow down the wear from rough stones and help release them smoother, and awesome slinging man keep the videos coming.
Oh cool I made an egyptian sling yesterday. Went to try it out and I suck!! I dipped the whole sling in a mix of grated beeswax and paint thinners and dried it out.
@@nathangrueber9834 yes I made it, I just looked at pics of other braided slings, and started making them it did help that I already had experience with paracord, my friend at practical paracord makes and sells them, I make mine different from his so that I’m not directly copying his slings, but you can search it on TH-cam and there are several different tutorials
If you slow your “helicopter” down to where it’s just fast enough to keep the projectile in the pouch, you’ll have more accuracy, speed and control. The reason is that if you’re whirling it around fast it’s harder to time your power stroke. If you’re going from slow to fast, you can put much more energy into it because you don’t have to try and keep up with the already fast speed from twirling too fast. I hope that made sense.
@@rbnhd1976 it’s funny you say that because I have been making paracord whips for over 5 years now. It’s very similar and if your sling is a Balearic type with a cracker on the end it Will definitely crack like a whip. I find the most accurate way to use a sling is to do the same number of twirls each time so you’re not having to time it out randomly when you go to swing and release. I typically do two twirls at a medium height with my arm out behind me then the third goes overhead for the power stroke and release. So it’s basically a 1..2..3 count each time. You’ll quickly dial on your shots like that.
@411Outdoors yeah, exactly what this guy said. The only time you need to swing the sling fast is the final swing right before release. Not only does it increase accuracy, it also slows down the, albeit minimal, wear and tear of the sling and saves your muscles from over exerting themselves
Thank you so much for your videos. They've been very helpful. I really like how straightforward your info. is, no hoopla, just straight to the facts. Thanks again, and keep up the great work.
I really like that practical paracord slings aren't concerned with being historical recreations but rather with being high performance, durable throwing tools. When I was looking on the internet at different slings to buy there are countless natural fiber shepherd slings on etsy and stuff but they all seemed like gimmicks, not like sports equipment. Then I found channing's channel and was like... wow this guy just loves to drive out into the middle of nowhere, set up some bottles and sling rocks for hours. There isn't any gimmick, the guy just loves chucking rocks.
I’m in Montana I use his slings all the time Practical Paracord he’s a shit everybody else would have to stand on their mothers shoulders to kiss his butt
You might be trapping in the "newer must be better" fallacy, though. Paracord is "good" because it is easily accessible and many people have it anyway. But it is not the best material for slings. The natural fiber "gimmicks" will outperform them when well made in many aspects. Other synthetic materials and/or a combination with natural fibers might be even better.
@@hmpeter natural fibers may outperform in some respects, perhaps having spring to them may add to the power but in the realm of durability there is no way they even come remotely close to paracord. If you want to make a sling out of natural fibers yourself, cool, it will perform better in some respects until it inevitably falls apart, but if you are in the business of selling slings I think the trade off of the paracord sling lasting indefinitely for customers is extremely important. A natural fiber sling is a temporary thing, not so with a paracord sling.
@@tylerbrown9797 Actually, the elasticity is what makes the paracord perform worse. It lowers the overall efficacy. Also with braided natural fibers, it is easy to give the sling a certain stiffness in the lateral direction. That makes the sling very easy and precise to control. You can get that to a certain degree with the nicer braided paracord slings, but I personally have yet to see one that feels even remotely as nice as a well made natural fiber sling. On the lifetime I agree of course, synthetic fibers will outlast the natural one by far if you do not intend to repair it. But if one chooses synthetic fibers, there are better choices than paracord. Accessory cord (for climbing) comes to mind if it must be cord. Might be an interesting experiment to get a roving spool (the "endless" fiber strand kind) of a nice material like dyneema and weave that into a classic sling form (balearean for example).
@@hmpeter have you even thrown with a paracord sling? Mine have zero give whatsoever. There is no elasticity with my paracord slings from practical paracord.
For anyone who wants to make the sling you show in your vid, theres a guy on youtube called blind squrril rock chucker and he has a tut on making it i have made that verry same sling, i still have to perfect my brading and weaving as mine is a little wonkey but the pattern is near identical.
1 day to learn, a lifetime to master....if that can be said about something you know its worth your time.... i gotta take a break from slinging to make a better one but its so fun, and the wizzing sounds, i want to experiment and see if i can make whistling shot or "tracer sling rounds"
Any tips for me? I just tried out a egyptian sling I made out of jute. But the stones are rolling in the poutch as they leave and coming out too late. I'm not hellicoptering or underhand swinging its somewhere between. Like throwing a stone.
That description bout slingers around 1 min mark is on point with me man I'm into all kinds of primitive range tech, self defense and parkour. They definitely resonate with each other on a skill tree😋
There's nothing like getting better at this type of activity. Especially when I made the sling with my own hands. Why? Because I had to learn how to tie a six strand Matthew Walker knot and I should have given up but after a few days I went back to the unfinished sling and I still didn't get it, but try and try and try and even though I really didn't have to include the knot, I included it in my project and finally I got it. I needed this one...!!!
Wow. I always thought that I was Old Testament. I would NOT have a clue how to use that thing. Way cool. Wished I lived in the country and had Neighbors like you. Good Stuff.
You can practice inside with cotton buds as ammo or beer bottle caps. Against a curtain. I do it with no ammo just to keep my hand technique right; and my arms fit. Cos it was painfull to start. Ripping muscles. I had to refine my movements to not waste energy
@@411Outdoors hey bro hope your doing well. Teaching those youth your fun skills would be just the best if i was a teenager youd be the coolest youth paster ever. Hugs and love
Have a look at this. Its one to one ratio; but it shows how making multiple hellicopters; unless your rolling your hand well; loads the string and it untwists and drops your ammo behind you. I practice inside at the curtains. With cut in half cotton buds. And ive found many on the floor sitting right behind me. Just like this video. Its good learning fir me to know others have the same problems. Ive found that flat profiles of strings have less loading and unloading while swinging.

I've been watching sling making tutorials and the paracord for the project is on its way. I can't wait to start practicing at my local baseball diamonds. The backstop can catch the balls I will use for practice.
Yeah man, its a blast. You're right about multi weapons. Im just now getting back to the sling and finally had some success, which blew my mind. Im going to get great with the sling and attach it to my cane so I can carry it loaded. I already did that some a year ago or so, just didnt get it adjusted. Now I will. I throw tomahawks and more.

The website isn’t mine, it is my friends and he list is measurements by full length, but I’ve found most slingers usually like 25”-27”( folded measurement) 27” offers the best mix of distance and accuracy, if you still can’t decide watch some of his videos he talks about the differences and is very helpful.
@@Ryansmith-bu5yhWhoa, Ryan thanks so much for your time and help brother! That info is exactly what I needed before purchasing. And thank you too Daniel- God bless guys
People definitely call me David a lot😂. I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to check out the channel but i throw just about everything. Slinging is by far the hardest for sure
Yeah I called people skilled in the use of multiple weapons a slinger, especially if they can use things like knives, archery, slings, shepherd slings, tomahawks, and yes guns and hand to hand combat. Basically anyone you would want on your side in an apocalypse haha
This sling is similar to what i was trying to explain about my ration of 4 to 3 paracord transitiin. Hard to see but your retainer looks to have about a foot of double braids as it leaves the poutch. Unluss its a kink i can see in the braid. But frim the sound it sounds like its transitiining ti the cracker evenly. A robalkistucs has done a fishing like sling. But the intertia of the string is very important so its a stupid sling.
@@411Outdoors just that discription alone tells me alot about how it feels as it transitions. One to one strings just feels like its trying to resolve an issue all wrong acroballistics seems to use 1 to 1 and a bit longer than his draw length. It seems ok for him; but i cant get used to the wonky feel of it. Maybe its good for the huge distances he uses. But to me a round string is trying to immitate an arc and cam action when theres no resolve. Hes even made a splice string one recently then rolled the string with a roller. I just make a flat profile sling as thats what its trying to resolve anyway. Good on you for your observation bro cos after i accidently discovered the ratio by platting one string; then just looping two strings to poutch as a wip for inside practice i noticed the two strings wistle as they vibrate thru the resolve. And thought hmmm? This moves way faster! With 1 to 1 i feel like im saying "hurry up"!. Then with my 4 to three ratio its like "ooooooo thats better!?"
@@411Outdoors yea its an egyptian split poutch with a smiley from the looks of it. Ive done a couple of these just practicing for my dads xmas pressie. I was just working out piecing bits from channels i watched. I thought id invented something new. But alas; i hadnt. So far i havnt seen anything like my slingshit yet tho. Am interested to learn more tho if there are. Id put photos on my channel but i dont know how yet cos i dont use it.
Thanks a million! I think you can get these from Practical Paracord. Check out his TH-cam channel and send him a message I think they call these the smiling slings
If theres any advice i could give you for your internship for youth. Its this. "Teach you children in the way they should go; and in the end they will not depart from "it". Notice it is singular. Not "them". Says "way". Not "ways". "Ways"would be the law; ways to follow. But this says "way ". Yet parents teach children the law ; which paul says strengthens sin. They say "i taught them right and wrong"?? What happened? Yes you did. But did you teach them in the way they should go? The gospel of jesus finished work?? Nope. As homer simpson would say. "DOH!".
I just ordered my first. I've made my own up until that point. I lost my right thumb down to the knuckle and had to relearn the release. It's been tough getting accurate again but I practice with stones at the river and I'm gonna start with some rubber hand balls or tennis balls to learn accuracy instead of max power slinging. I have an outfielders arm so it comes pretty naturally to be a slinger. I really like this channel. I just like to give Channing props he's been my favorite singer. You're my favorite multitalented slinger.
That’s a nice looking sling, now u just need a balearic target and u can join in on PracticalParacords weekly online competitions. Come on and join in the fun.
@@411Outdoors u don’t need anything special. the target is just a 4’x4’ square with a 20” circle in middle for the bullseye(dianna as we call it, the 4’x4’ hit = 1pt. and the 20” bullseye = 2+1pt. U can build ur skills with the sling as u go that’s part of the fun, Besides looks like u have a good jump on the skills set need to b a contender. Tennis balls @13m, rocks, golf balls, or what ever @20m and on.
@@blindsquirrelRockChucker I’ve got a pretty open back yard. What do you do to contain the ammo somewhat so you’re not losing it or chasing it across county lines? haha
@@411Outdoors check out one of the last practical paracord online sling comps from this month. U’ll see my 10’x20’ golf net with 1” holes I use as my backstop and target, got it off internet. I wove orange and yellow paracord through the net to make the 4x4 square and bullseye. It’s handled rocks of 200+ grams with no problems.
My favorite way id the belaric style . Where its like the helicopter but i swing it parellel to my body and use the angle change on the release to power the shots . Great video and great shooting

@@Ryansmith-bu5yhWhoa, Ryan thanks so much for your time and help brother! That info is exactly what I needed before purchasing. And thank you too Daniel- God bless guys
I bet you used your sling fir a few sermons huh!?
People definitely call me David a lot😂. I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to check out the channel but i throw just about everything. Slinging is by far the hardest for sure
A slinger is just a user of a ranged weapon to you?
Yeah I called people skilled in the use of multiple weapons a slinger, especially if they can use things like knives, archery, slings, shepherd slings, tomahawks, and yes guns and hand to hand combat. Basically anyone you would want on your side in an apocalypse haha
Shout-out to Practical Paracord. I can tell that's Channing's Smiley Sling.
It sure is. I think I may even have a link to his website on this video.
When I send you the slingshot ammo I'd like to see what it does against plywood with a heavy band set.
Can’t wait to test that! 🙂
Brother where can I purchase one of these? Great video!
I will get in touch with Ryan and see. Thanks so much!
I would like to refer you to Practical Paracord. He sells these and has a great TH-cam channel. th-cam.com/users/PracticalParacord
@@411Outdoors Awesome, thanks so much and God Bless you bro!
This sling is similar to what i was trying to explain about my ration of 4 to 3 paracord transitiin. Hard to see but your retainer looks to have about a foot of double braids as it leaves the poutch. Unluss its a kink i can see in the braid. But frim the sound it sounds like its transitiining ti the cracker evenly. A robalkistucs has done a fishing like sling. But the intertia of the string is very important so its a stupid sling.
I love the crack sound so much. Ever since I was sent a sling I lost interest and all the others. I just feel like this one has so much more substance
So does your retainer have double sets of braids from the poutch?
@@nathangrueber9834 Yeah it looks like a double braided pouch with some Paracord tied in an X form across the braids
@@411Outdoors just that discription alone tells me alot about how it feels as it transitions. One to one strings just feels like its trying to resolve an issue all wrong acroballistics seems to use 1 to 1 and a bit longer than his draw length.
It seems ok for him; but i cant get used to the wonky feel of it. Maybe its good for the huge distances he uses. But to me a round string is trying to immitate an arc and cam action when theres no resolve. Hes even made a splice string one recently then rolled the string with a roller. I just make a flat profile sling as thats what its trying to resolve anyway. Good on you for your observation bro cos after i accidently discovered the ratio by platting one string; then just looping two strings to poutch as a wip for inside practice i noticed the two strings wistle as they vibrate thru the resolve. And thought hmmm? This moves way faster! With 1 to 1 i feel like im saying "hurry up"!.
Then with my 4 to three ratio its like "ooooooo thats better!?"
@@411Outdoors yea its an egyptian split poutch with a smiley from the looks of it. Ive done a couple of these just practicing for my dads xmas pressie. I was just working out piecing bits from channels i watched. I thought id invented something new. But alas; i hadnt. So far i havnt seen anything like my slingshit yet tho. Am interested to learn more tho if there are. Id put photos on my channel but i dont know how yet cos i dont use it.
Awesome sling, does Ryan sell them as well? Your content is always spot on!
Thanks a million! I think you can get these from Practical Paracord. Check out his TH-cam channel and send him a message I think they call these the smiling slings
I found his website and have a sling in the cart!
@@Michael-vu1ob 🙌👏👏 great!
Horseshoes or hand grenades...heh....yup.
Haha!
why not consider making a video that show how to braid it?
I wouldn’t begin to know my friend . Channing from practical paracord may
@@411Outdoors thanks
If theres any advice i could give you for your internship for youth.
Its this.
"Teach you children in the way they should go; and in the end they will not depart from "it".
Notice it is singular.
Not "them".
Says "way".
Not "ways".
"Ways"would be the law; ways to follow.
But this says "way ".
Yet parents teach children the law ; which paul says strengthens sin.
They say "i taught them right and wrong"?? What happened?
Yes you did.
But did you teach them in the way they should go?
The gospel of jesus finished work??
Nope.
As homer simpson would say.
"DOH!".
That’s exactly right brother excellent word! Behavior modification arouses the sin nature but heart transformation comes from the Gospel🙌
Thank chandler from practical paracord he made it first
I’ve sent a lot of business to Channing 👍
I just ordered my first. I've made my own up until that point. I lost my right thumb down to the knuckle and had to relearn the release. It's been tough getting accurate again but I practice with stones at the river and I'm gonna start with some rubber hand balls or tennis balls to learn accuracy instead of max power slinging. I have an outfielders arm so it comes pretty naturally to be a slinger. I really like this channel. I just like to give Channing props he's been my favorite singer. You're my favorite multitalented slinger.
How to make video??
I could contact Channing from practical paracord and see
That’s a nice looking sling, now u just need a balearic target and u can join in on PracticalParacords weekly online competitions. Come on and join in the fun.
I definitely need to work on my target set ups and my skill set as well
@@411Outdoors u don’t need anything special. the target is just a 4’x4’ square with a 20” circle in middle for the bullseye(dianna as we call it, the 4’x4’ hit = 1pt. and the 20” bullseye = 2+1pt. U can build ur skills with the sling as u go that’s part of the fun, Besides looks like u have a good jump on the skills set need to b a contender. Tennis balls @13m, rocks, golf balls, or what ever @20m and on.
@@blindsquirrelRockChucker I’ve got a pretty open back yard. What do you do to contain the ammo somewhat so you’re not losing it or chasing it across county lines? haha
@@411Outdoors check out one of the last practical paracord online sling comps from this month. U’ll see my 10’x20’ golf net with 1” holes I use as my backstop and target, got it off internet. I wove orange and yellow paracord through the net to make the 4x4 square and bullseye. It’s handled rocks of 200+ grams with no problems.
@@blindsquirrelRockChucker I’ll check that out. Sounds great
My favorite way id the belaric style . Where its like the helicopter but i swing it parellel to my body and use the angle change on the release to power the shots . Great video and great shooting
Thanks my friend!
