I personally think the Chinese frames with adjustable sights and clips are the best you can buy for the money and the future of competitive target shooting. You just have to make sure its proper stainless steel or titanium, like you said you get what you pay for. If its under $20 dont bother Also i feel these designs you tested are not a good choice for beginners because of the risk of hand hits with the extremely low forks (which I love) your release needs to be on point or SMACK.... im told its very sore 😉
I am using a Chinese made "Top-Bead-Stuck" frame. Made from solid 303 Stainless Steel round stock machined to hold single tube by using a 1/8in steel ball. It is a fine piece of work.
I recently bought one of those similar $20 Chinese made slingshots that clamps the band between two sets of teeth and screws together. I was shocked at how sharp the metal felt where it gripped the band along with the corners on top where the band is stretching over. I actually sanded them all down a bit with fine grit sandpaper just so i felt better (even though i really know nothing about slingshots). is that a legit way to grip the bands though? seems like that method would be really rough on the bands and speed up the wear and tear. Anyone with experience on those types? Thanx in advance - im getting a new one i think from your website either way.
Hi, been in china and use the Chinese made slingshots, there are some dangerous ones out there, try and ovoid the chrome/shiny looking ones, the alloy can be brittle, most of mine are at least 304 stainless and I have never had any problems with them...
Thanks for this video. I am just starting out, and I am wondering how often a band will break at the fork, and if it does, how likely the band will slap your eye. Naturally, one tends to align the ball at the cheeks, lets say at the rear corner of your mouth (that's how I shoot archery too). That's very close to the eyes. What say you?
Alright sir,I'm an Irish man.The best caddys (sling shot) we use are called Barnet.The one every one starst out with is called the Black Widow but when you get more serious you'll step up to the Diablo,This is the Top of the range caddy.The main difference is our sling shots have an arm rest that counter acts the pull of the band.Check them out
Lol I kind of feel like this video was a fail lol. I purchased the Huntingdoor Slingshot and the YUNYILAN Professional Slingshot, from amazon, right before watching this video. I haven't recived them yet, but from watching your torture test on the Huntingdoor slingshot, I don't think I made a bad choice. I also know, I probably could have gotten them off wish, for cheaper, but I would have to wait like a month plus, vs two days, with prime. I know you promote other things and on other places, but it would be cool if you could recommend some slingshots from amazon, or put your slingshot there. I only purchase things from Walmart and Amazon. I like your vids, so far, I've only seen two of them, but none of the slingshots you recommend, are on Amazon, or if they are, I haven't seen them. The slingshot would also need to be a prime item, for two day shipping.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief I enjoyed the video, but I felt like you were trying to make the slingshots, you promote, look better than the ones you don't, but I think you kind of made the slingshots, look amazing lol. Anyway all good either way, no hate/trolling intended. Wish you had your sling shot on amazon, with prime shipping/two day prime shipping. Anyway I'm liking your vids so far.
The Scout and some other simple shot sling shots are on Amazon. However, Fowler's shop is well done and safe. Also, his prices are the same as simple shot's website. So any profit made is going somewhere us fans can feel good about. But I have also bought a top archery and a More farther brand slingshot from Amazon and they do seem to hold up well and shoot straight
I have the 2nd one you showed. I've hit the frame plenty of times over the past year and the things holding strong. The only issue I have with them is if you like big 30mm bands, they hang over and the forks aren't smoothed over. I got a tie on type instead for the power bands.
Did anyone else notice the on the slingshot magazine the guy had his band twisted slightly. All the things i have read say you shouldnt twist the pouch.
You can twist the pouch how ever much u like if the release is right in use a slingshot all the time when shooting ttf it helps keep a steady hand I have the photos of my kills to back it up and go watch gamekeeper John's video on hot to aim a catapult he's one of the best shooters in the world if not the best he twists his pouch 180 degrees when shooting a pfs
Good work . I have 1 of those sling shots . They have took a few fork hits and they seem ok but you right The plastic sights are very brittle. I have not set the sights up and after watching this video Deffo not. Cheers and greetings from wales uk merry Christmas and if you got a spare catty send my way.
Great fun, almost as much fun as being there shooting along side of you. Next thing you know, you will be hammering on a knife blade through a piece of fire wood! Love your slingshot videos, reminds me of good times as a kid, slingshot in my back pocket. I just might take my grandson out and do a bit of shooting. Safety is our number one priority.
The best and 1st 1 I ever started with a dankung loop tube band it's more powerful with loop tube compared to flat and I'm more accurate with the dankung I have not tried flat band with it though
Totally nice efforts to execute some destruction tests on those high end Chinese slingshots. The only safe plastic for slingshots are HDPE and Nylon, highly resilient and never brittle.
Never had a projectile come back at me from shooting a slingshot however I've had a band come loose and hit me in the face it happened to be on a 50 pound pull slingshot and so it was quite painful but no permanent damage however if it had hit me in the eye it may have been serious and so the moral of the story always wear eye protection even a sub 20 lb call slingshot band coming back at your I could cause quite a bit of damage
they are big and bulky and now with modern flat bands its not really needed the draw wait is low. And i also shoot with a flip wich wont work with wrist rocket . But the simplshot one is really nice and very accurate.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief I'm hooked on your slingshot videos lately. I'll be ordering a couple from you soon. Thanks for the videos and the reply. You're a pretty solid dude for a big time celebrity with an epic beard. Stay safe out there.
Fowler's Makery and Mischief story says he lost his eye from a band failure and snapped him in the eye. But I’m thinking the crutch snapped. I’ve never asked him. He was our girls basketball coach here for years. Small town of about 500.
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief awesome!, Thank You, I bought one of the mini's and just never used it, (Life and my motorcycle got in the way) so no time to just sit outside and shoot stuff.
Hello I would just like to say that you are a big inspiration to me and remind me about my dad and his adventures in Pakistan and his camping and hunting adventures and his survival situations Pls review a Pakistani, patan made slingshot 😊
Yo, Bro....CALM DOWN!!!>>>>> Years ago, ( I live in Thailand) a company here tried to launch a magazine called "Phone Life" (seriously!!) about how much fun, and what an incredible lifestyle adventure it was, to live ON YOUR PHONE like 24 hrs a day.... Aside from the (IMHO) total sadness of the concept, it showed that people will buy anything if it's marketed the right way. It lasted about 3 months... Dude, slingshots are cool, they're fun...they CAN be useful for all those many, many times when we find ourselves marooned on a deserted island. You know, wake up one morning, get on the bus, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep...wake up the next morning and we're somehow on a desert island...Yeah, sure, of course it happens!! But in the REAL WORLD, it's kind of like worrying about dealing with supplies for the zombie apocalypse.....they're NOT A lifestyle.....(at least for the sane...) So, just to help you keep your blood pressure in the right range, remember, people can print pictures of stuff you like....they can compile those pics into magazines, and you can buy those magazines which show pics of those items!! Yes, you actually can!! Congratulations, instead of spending money (and time) on your family, you just supported those people, and their "Let's make a magazine of pretty pics of stuff that no one can afford..." philosophy!! You don't have to drool and lose your mind over pics of the items...pup tents and foldable camp-stoves may be sexy, but you supposedly have a family, so keep your head together... smh.....the pic at 1:51 makes me cringe for you... I mean, really.... Thanks for the help on the slingshot-shooting issue, but...are you OK????
I thought you were going to show a homemade one break, because the grain is naturally weak, if it was made from a board. The band getting weak at the frame, is an eye problem.
Try making a target out of that your recommendations(simple shot or wood). Those are resins or hard plastics right? Those will surely break..those chinese cheapos are actually stainless and titanium..you will not surely break them easily.
I'm glade I found your video on this Zac I broke my nose on a Chinese slingshot breaking and coming back and ko me ever since my breathing through my nose hasn't been the same and that was 6 years ago
I recently made a slingshot myself out of a solid oak board but someone has told me that it is not safe to use for this reason. It really does feel solid but this person has me worried about using it now.
Ya it's most likely not safe. there are alot of forces and one frame hit can cause the wood to brake on the grain. BIRCH plywood or natural tree forks are the best.

stainless steel or titanium (more expensive) won't break- avoid anything that is made of "alloy"

Are there difrent types of slingshot for competition or fun
