@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans my entire childhood was dedicated to catapult slingshot making and hunting now im 36 hunting with break barrel though i still make and shoot catapult its so much fun
nice slingshot!! i love that green gzk, got sick of trying to keep up with different bands so just shoot the same setup with green gzk all year long. coldest ive done was a couple cottontails on a 6 degree above day with it.
Pause any video of mine you like on your computer, take a screenshot. Adjust the scale until the outside fork tips are 100mm outside edge to outside edge. Trace the outline of the slingshot. Then you have a template.
Recently took up the slingshot and as a wood-worker, I appreciate your build videos as I find them quite inspiring! Keep these fantastic videos coming my bearded brother!
Your channel needs more attention, you have straight forward videos which are rare. What is the width of the forks you're using? Also 10:00 I got used on °F over the years on TH-cam 😂 greetings from Europe lol
Thanks for watching! I like being a semi hidden gem on TH-cam. In all honesty my channel has grown a bunch in the last 6 months. It's pretty cool to see people from all over the world enjoying my nerdy lil passion in backwoods Alaska.
@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans I would say channels that review a lot of gear have more attention, those that sell themselves for views. You just enjoy hunting and slingshots and I find that to be rare. If you were to film how to taper videos or ones with goofy clickbaits of suprised person and pointing a finger on 4 rabbits with a caption "I hunt them in severe storm while fucking bear was following me" while severe storm is just a light rain and bear is 4 miles away (like bushcraft channels do) you would get more views for sure. Or if you make videos like: 10 begginer mistakes 10 things I wish I knew before slingshoting One thing that will make you accurate (just talk bunch of shit but make it look as one tip) No power tool slingshot build (Make sure to use at least one and apologise) How I made this slingshot in 1h!!? (Make sure to have a clickbait with surprised face, mouth wide open and point to a slingsho) (Use power tools as usual and don't sand a lot and make sure to say waiting for it to cure is not included in one hour) You get the point hahah I hate YT sometimes, have tons of channels on Don't reccomend for these reasons. So thanks for being straight forward and filming what we all like - slingshots, hunting and slow mo videos of rabbits dying lol
@@BushcraftEurope got it. Next video: a review of the best bear hunting slingshot tapers in a storm while being chased by vengeful rabbits. Thumbnail bleeding and surprised with caption " don't get caught without a screwdriver". Thanks for the input!
I see you prefer 11mm ammo. I'm assuming that you have tried all the others before making this decision. Would you consider offering the pros and cons of the others, and why you decided on 11mm? It appears that nearly all of your shots are head shots. What happens with body shots using the 11mm? Thanks for your invaluable advice and experience!!
9.5 was hard for me to hold. 10 mm is hard to get in Alaska. 1/2 inch (12.7mm) was pretty slow with bands that were comfortable to draw and aim with, but I did use it for a long time. 11 mm or 7/16in is easy to come by, packs a huge amount of energy, moves fast and requires a draw of 13-15 lbs which is pretty comfortable. Head shots always win. Squirrels will laugh at a body shot and leave. Grouse will fly off and die, and bunnies will die but recovery requires tracking. And the vital zone on a hare is about the same size as the head. Head shoot em and eat well
Awesome video !!, please keep the build videos coming!. I started making my own SS from crate Myrtle and oak , I was wondering out of one bottle of blue gorilla glue ( how many SS do get to seal ). I’ve been putting one coat on letting dry - going over any runs with 600 or better sand paper and then adding another coat. I’m only getting 3 (maybe) SS out of a bottle. Thanks for any information.
Hola amigo necesito tu ayuda. intento hacer unos marcos pero no me salen y como tu dices que utilizas cortes de 25 - 20 para caza. como es posible si el poste es mas pequeño??? como lo haces??? si la banda rodea todo el poste en realidad toda la liga ejerce la presion=????? saludos desde colombia
Over the top if you are going to hunt. You have to be able to aim high for longer shots to account for the drop. Aiming high with TTF covers the target with your top fork eliminating accuracy.
te lo pregunto porque necesito mas potencia ya que las aves en mi pais son grandes y duras para morir y necesito esa cinfiguracion de 25 de postes - 20 de pouch. gracias
I like rounded posts. You can wrap bands around them and it works fine. If you have square posts you can fold your bands in half and tie them. I will occasionally round the corners of a square post and wrap around it and that seems to work fine.
Easiest way is to watch it on the computer and pause it on the place where I show it. Put a piece of computer paper on the screen and trace it. You can adjust it to your preferences.
Man you are on youtube for 8 years i respect your persistence your hardwork to keep this youtube chanle alive i like your videos
It's always been a hobby. It started with diving and surfing, then hunting and trapping now slingshots. Thanks man. It's fun.

It's great stuff.
Two build videos in as many days 😍 treating us too good sir! 🙏💥🔥
I got another good one coming up too. Been spending lots of time in the shop.
Sir I am from Pakistan. I watch your all videos. If you give us a graph of your slingshot in any way, we will build such a slingshot❤❤
You the man @@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans

Loving the little bit of shaping, really shows.👌🎯👍✊
Thanks 👍
Love the slingshot it's beautiful would love to have one like that. Great hunting and some beautiful scenery.
Thanks! It really is a joy to live here.

After commenting on your post on Slingshot hunters l went to youtube and first thing l notice is you video of the grouse hunt. Thank you😊
Thank you!

Great video as always. Are those birds like twice the size of the francolins here in Hawaii? They look kinda big. Aloha🤙🏽
They are just about the same size. Alaska birds look bigger because they are fluffy. Need a down coat here:-)
For a 4-inch fork, what is the longest range you can accurately shoot at a target? 13:06 ❤'
I can hit at 50 yards on the range. Probably farther if I practiced, but I don't hunt much past 35 yards. Width of frame has nothing to do with it.

Wrap em around the pole it will work just fine.
That is one prominent beard. I think it grows thicker in colder regions of the world
Yes. Protects the face.
Super great video!!
Thanks bud!
In one of your videos you said you were a teacher and a principal! What class do you teach? Just curious! Ron
High School English ,social studies, year book and agriculture.
I’m trying to decide how to shoot ttf or otf which one do you recommend?
Over the top if you are going to hunt. You have to be able to aim high for longer shots to account for the drop. Aiming high with TTF covers the target with your top fork eliminating accuracy.
@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans thank you so much!
Do you change up the type of slingshot ammo you use in warm vs cold environments?
Nope. 11 mm all season. I do change bands though.
@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans What material ammo do you prefer, I just use the Daisy steel ammo.
I prefer 11 mm steel or 10 mm lead. In cold weather I go to GZK green bands. In warm weather most any .7 modern slingshot latex will work fine.
Hello.
What bandsaw are you using?
Nice slingshot BTW.
WEN.14 inch I believe. Cheap but gets the job done
Good job man....have you ever thought about a wood stove in your work shop?
Every time I go in there.
I like 🥶👍
Thanks!
How much thickness of your band is?
.76
أسطورة قنص❤
Practice!
Anh bắn khổ thun dài bao nhiêu??? Đầu to đầu nhỏ bao nhiêu mm
165 mm long. 25mm to 20 mm taper.
Nice sir your steel ball size rubber band size details
