Ya that makes two of us. Earlier video said that shooting with tubes is not accurate what so ever and everyone should only use flat bands not tubes. Now I'm confused on what's good and what's not.
I think what he meant specifically was that wrist rocket style slingshots with tubes aren't so hot. I'll agree, never could get consistant with my old tubed wrist rocket.
shoot I should clarify that they ate in acurit but at 10 to 15 feet shooting stuf out of the air with smaller tubing they work good anything over that the speed shooters are slow and more and more inaccurate
Daniel Charbonneau I ordered the torque from simple shot using black latex tubes and my shots do fly all over the place but with practice and better consistency, I can hit a tin can from 20 or 30 feet with ease. Theraband strips can make shooting a whole lot better but I find tubes way easier to make and the gap between the forks for attaching the tubes is very convenient.
I decided I finally wanted a slingshot again after all these years not having one and remembering all the fun times I had as a kid with one. So I decided the first order of business is to see what slingshot Mr Fowler would recommend.
Ive just created a superjuicy sling@ding ringer of a slingshot if I do say so myself. As an automotive micknanic I have access to some pretty neat odds n ends random parts n pieces. I've been raisin ruckuses with slingshots for over 30 years and I've never seen nothin as slick as this potential game changer 🎉 FULLY ADJUSTABLE AND INFINITY CUSTOMIZABLE and it's key feature is simplicity, and one of the most versatile tool/weapons ever i believe.
This is my first time watching anything you have produced, and I’m hooked. I’ve had “wrist rockets” since I was a kid but I’ve never gotten “seriously into” slingshots. Now I totally want to! I’ll very likely be picking something to start out with from your offerings and ordering from you. Thanks!
I ended up buying a Hornet and an Ocularis. I’ll endorse you here: I am totally satisfied with my purchase from your site. Now I need to find the time to practice.
I should have watched some of these videos before spending money on slingshots, bands and different ammo. I've purchased 3 different slingshots, 3 types of ammo and 2 types of bands. But I finally found a combination of slingshot, band and ammo that works for me and my slingshot application, now it's practice practice practice.
These are some nice slingshots , Here in Sinaloa we make the forks from cacaragua trees as the wood is very tough , than we use rubber banda to tie the rubber tubes on and we usually wrap the rubber bands with denim, than we get leather from like an old pair of boots for the lesther pad , and we shoot with rocks lol a bit more primitive but its very exciting to make one
I used to have a wrist rocket, I could shoot a leaf blowing in the wind with a marble haha. but the tube tended to break. I like the look of the Hornet you carry! Great video, thanks!
Been looking for a simple ranged weapon for basic defense. A bow is big and a little bulky, plus it'd take a few seconds more than would be practical. A crossbow is also too big to just carry. A pistol is expensive (for a decent one) and cleaning/maintenance and ammo costs aren't ideal. This led me to thinking of letting my inner Bart Simpson out. Haven't used a slingshot since I made one out of a rubber band and a stick when I was 7. Been out of the slingshot loop for 20 years, lol. Definitely subscribing
Hey Fowler I'm leaning more towards being able to hunt small game(anything up to large hare or piglets) and seeking advice 1) lead or coated lead shot vs steel shot 2) size shot? 3) single or stacked flat bands? 4) Latex vs Thera band Gold in durablity, longevity. Thanks
Hahahahaha I used a Pickle fork in the First Slingshot World Cup in Italy 2018 hahahaha .....soooo Maybe they are a Real slingshot ? hahaha....Great Video and thanks for all you do to promote the fun sport of slingshots.....
How i learned was buy a slingshot, and 1000 3/8ths ball bearings and built a catch box. I took a spinner blade for making fishing lures and put it on a cable attached to the catch box and I stood about 20 feet away and just fired until I went through the 1000 ball bearings. Then I did it again the next night And again the night after that by 3000 I had it figured out extremely well.
I loved slingshots from when I was a kid. Many decades later, I've noticed drones flying around now and then, they can mean nothing, but I would like to shoot them down. What slingshot would you consider?
My everyday carry is a Ruger LC 9, with a LaserMax. Actually I have The Hammer. I’m wanting to take it fishing for sea bass or redfish in Baffin Bay, Tejas.
Love your video. May I respectfully ask how do you make an elastic band for slingshot or catapult out of materials from the wilderness, mountains or jungles?
Hey Zach gonna be ordering orange .72 gzk I’m gonna use 3/8 steel for hunting do you recommend a taper for hunting with 3/8 steel up to 30 meters with gzk
I grew up with the wrist rocket with tube bands. Looking at one for rocks and want to be efficient, durrable ... Axium ocularis? Scout? Over the top? Hunting and target shooting.
I just got a novelty sling shot it's carved out to look like a MOOSE. Mom sent it and I don't know how to get bands on it I love it so cute. Hey I'm 64 retired DoD. QC ; )
I was 6 years old I know already to make that thing and that only toys I have and we use to catch a chicken ,bird , I love that... God lock to your video....
Hi, I follow your chanel and have this old school rubber tube slingshot. All I had to do was to bend the metal end backwords and fit the band vertically using a stick. It worked!
Thankyou for your video I'm getting my first sling shot this week what inspired me to get one was animal crossing new horizons game on the switch I use it alot so on the game so I got inspired to get one I'm not hunting with it I'm just targets only or cans
awesome shirt man, and video gotta say you know your stuff on sling shots more than anyone I have ever met that was in to these. have you gone hunting with these? if so whats the largest game you have taken with one?
Fowler's Makery and Mischief oh that stinks about legalities but very cool with the duck and grouse a great accomplishment. I like the blow gun myself but we are not allowed as well
very well explained 👍I think alot of interested people get turned off by the variety styles etc etc but youve broke it down very simple ill be advising others to checkout this vid when im asked as im asked all the time and ive defo got yur hornet down as a xmas pressy and ill do a lil review on it maybe just shootin it at my catchbox or watever wit your permission of course cheers dude 👍👍😎
Hi zack what is the sling shot called on the wall with the pink bands and on the thumb nail around your neck thanks really appreciate your videos from the UK
Thanks for the advise bro... I wish I could get a hornet...but it's a bit pricey to get it in the Caribbean...but I enjoy shooting flat bands the fork don't really matter to me
I am new to slingshots, but was wondering which one that you would specifically recommend which would last me for years. I am a fast learner, but would eventually like to use this slingshot to hunt small game. Is there one specific one that you would choose which is accurate and powerful and durable.
the simpleshot slingshots are made of some sort of polymer. they will definitely outlast you.. as far as the bands go... well they will wear out on any slingshot, so buy a few for back up
Hi, I will soon be a complete beginner so now I m looking for a slingshot your video is very helpful but what about the size, I ve got pretty big hands, and as I remember being a kid, I think I'd naturally feel comfortable with a hand grip. Is there anything you would recommend ?
I want to get one with a wrist brace, why don't you use one in your recommendations? What is a downside to having a wrist strap, since you haven't shown one
You just said in your previous upload, to never use a slingshot with tubes, and now one of your 3 favorites has tubes. I am confused...
Ya that makes two of us. Earlier video said that shooting with tubes is not accurate what so ever and everyone should only use flat bands not tubes. Now I'm confused on what's good and what's not.

In the Philippines we have a saying "the slingshot you made yourself is the best slingshot"
True
This is what Dennis the Menace has been doing all these years.
Most people my age don’t know who that is 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Same here in jalisco but they also use guayaba 🌳
Yep need to do a video on a survival slingshot for small game or fish
I used to have a wrist rocket, I could shoot a leaf blowing in the wind with a marble haha. but the tube tended to break. I like the look of the Hornet you carry! Great video, thanks!
thanks !
What was it called youve got me intrigued now
*I own 4! Love them! Can't wait to take your for a whirl!*

Pocketshots are also very small and work pretty well.
Wait y'all have ammo for slingshots? I use rocks 💀
Same here😂😂
Same
Same XD
I did too as a kid. Now I bought my first slingshot in 20 years, the new scout lt2 and I got clay ammo n steel. Shoots much better.
I don't think you can use rocks in competitions.
My first ever slingshot was a picklefork from El Salvador and it was absolutely amazing, and then I modified them with tubes
I thought I was a silly goose for even thinking about a slingshots and my marksmanship with them.
I find this. 35 seconds in and I'm subscribed.
That’s a lot of info. Through the forks, seems like a great place to start.
ya for sure the best way to become acurit fast
Hey Fowler I'm leaning more towards being able to hunt small game(anything up to large hare or piglets) and seeking advice 1) lead or coated lead shot vs steel shot 2) size shot? 3) single or stacked flat bands? 4) Latex vs Thera band Gold in durablity, longevity. Thanks
Same here. Any update on this?
Dang i’m so glad I got the idea to look into slingshot hunting 😂
I just happen to be considering buying a survival slingshot so this video was awesome! Thank you! 👍
Hahahahaha I used a Pickle fork in the First Slingshot World Cup in Italy 2018 hahahaha .....soooo Maybe they are a Real slingshot ? hahaha....Great Video and thanks for all you do to promote the fun sport of slingshots.....
Simple Shot had the Hammer XT for $50 this past Christmas(2022) It’s solid.

Did you make a solid Green hornet slingshot cuz the only one I see on your website is green and tan ?????
Need bring back that solid green hornet!
I loved slingshots from when I was a kid. Many decades later, I've noticed drones flying around now and then, they can mean nothing, but I would like to shoot them down. What slingshot would you consider?
keno1941 scout😂I have the scout I’m always shooting pigeons in the air got my first one yesterday so they scout
Be warned that if you shoot down a drone on public land you might have a drone owner like me also with a Slingshot be very very angry with you
The hornet is my absolute favorite one! I even cast it in aluminum so I could have a metal version!
I am watching your "Alone" Episode 3. You are killin' it! 👍
Thank you for the tips I just got my new slingshot and I love it
awesome happy shooting!!
I just startet a few months ago with a frameless slingshot and I love it tbh :)
Do you have a discount code ???? before I order your slingshots on your website
It's awesome to think that you live in the same state as your favorite TH-camr
who's that ?
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief you I live in Camden, ME I can't believe you replied
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Or are you asking who I am?
I like the slingshot's i make from the y of a tree, i have been making them since i was 9 and im now 57, it's a lot of fun 👍🇺🇸.
I'm thinking of buying one. Looks like a good self defense weapon.
My everyday carry is a Ruger LC 9, with a LaserMax.
Actually I have The Hammer. I’m wanting to take it fishing for sea bass or redfish in Baffin Bay, Tejas.
While I was learning about slingshots, my mother came by for a visit & said she loves that Sasquatch t-shirt on this vid XD
Love your video. May I respectfully ask how do you make an elastic band for slingshot or catapult out of materials from the wilderness, mountains or jungles?
(20 Seconds in) 😯 Great Action
Hey Zach gonna be ordering orange .72 gzk I’m gonna use 3/8 steel for hunting do you recommend a taper for hunting with 3/8 steel up to 30 meters with gzk
Catapult carnage is a good channel for that
Go to sinpleshot.com and go to bandsets it tell you what bandset to get for your ammo
I grew up with the wrist rocket with tube bands. Looking at one for rocks and want to be efficient, durrable ... Axium ocularis? Scout? Over the top? Hunting and target shooting.
Buy the torque! Best frame out there
Just bought a scout X and got my older brother the axiom champ.
YOU THE MAN FOWLER
I just got a novelty sling shot it's carved out to look like a MOOSE. Mom sent it and I don't know how to get bands on it
I love it so cute. Hey I'm 64 retired DoD. QC ; )

thanks you to !!!
Hahahahaha, funny trick shot on the coke bottles. That was fun to watch. I had to rewind it 4x to watch.
What is the balance between OTT and TTF?
Is one better than the other? Do they each have specific applications that they’re better for?
Usopp's favorite TH-cam channel
Nice shooting range &👍
Good tutorial sir Fowler's👌💕
Hi, I follow your chanel and have this old school rubber tube slingshot. All I had to do was to bend the metal end backwords and fit the band vertically using a stick. It worked!
Do you recomend me a axiom ocularis for hunting ?
I use my scout with the stock bands almost maxed out and 7/16 in steel
I like my scout but I’m sure it would work
My favorite slingshot on your slingshot collection is the hornet slingshot and axiom ocularis
Thankyou for your video I'm getting my first sling shot this week what inspired me to get one was animal crossing new horizons game on the switch I use it alot so on the game so I got inspired to get one I'm not hunting with it I'm just targets only or cans
I bought the axiom Ocularis got it a couple of days ago and I’m having a blast with it.
Great Channel!! Best regards from Germany😊
