Are they ACCURATE or Lethal? Thought we would go Old school Trick shot This week So I dug out my old wrist rocket slingshot. As a kid i played with the old wrist rocket slingshot here and there but only became frustrated with its In accuracy. And when i hung up my bow in Favor of Learning the slingshot to take with me on History channel the Survival show Alone I went old school And bought A wrist rocket Slingshot. And once again the old frustrations return. And despite being A fairly well practiced Archer Accurate see with the slingshot alluded me. I had to ask myself was the slingshot to old school could it do the job in a survival situation. Before too long I switch to a custom slingshot With Flat band For greater accuracy. So it's been just about two years since I hung up the old wrist rocket. So I thought I dig it out And we go old school trick shot This Tuesday And find out If its the slingshot or the shooter.

Great stuff, closing one eye worked so well I've started closing both eyes and I never miss...
LOL
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief hey bro ,Question ; can a slingshot bring down a young goat or any wild animals , talking about survival of course cheers bro
@@rawiri1942 I would imagine any rodents, squirrels, birds but I think your just going to injure anything larger. If you had perfect shot placement, you might be able to knock one out and then dispatch it humanely.

When my dad was around my age, him and his friend carried really powerful slingshots everywhere they went, my dad used it so often that his friend would be able to throw a tin can in the air and my dad would hit the can, boosting it in the air then hit it again before it his the ground. Even now he still has two really powerfull slingshots and great aim.
@Ram Ranch FRRR I know I’m on this generation but I can’t lie
Wow
50s and 60s
@Ram Ranch 50's-60's kids could make and shoot a slingshot or a bow or spear, sword/shield, etc etc...We had access to our Dad's tools and knowledge which is something that today's kids get from RUclips..So who's cooler? They say the generation that fought in WW2 was the greatest...
Qea zwtsxr
"Aim where the atom resides that I intend to split with my shot"
That's the best advice ever!!
YES!!!
Please dont split atoms
@@RekzysTheTitan i agree 😂...BOOM
Sounds like a similar quote from Bruce Lee...
Aim small, hit small.
I just finished 3D printing a slingshot and decided to watch your video as I have never shot a flat band slinger before. After a few minutes I was able to constantly hit a ping pong ball at around 15ft. I know it is not impressive but definitely an improvement to my aim with compared to that of a wrist rocket. Very helpful and fun video.
Where is your clip with 3d slingshot?
That wrist rocket is a pretty useless for accuracy.

5 hours of practicing with a tube band and I decide to look up tips and this is the first vid I see
ya tube can work but it's harder . order a set of flat slingshot bands and give them a try y you will love it !!
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Can the stone be washed with this slingshot?
Lol same
You had me worried,today I ordered a slingshot from China even though I don’t like to,but I believe it’s one of them you showed. Glad it passed.
Great video with all easy to understand advice. I just bought my FIRST Sling (June 2023) and I know NOTHING, yet so as it may seem pedestrian to most shooters, you were all new one day. I did buy a Scout LT and some red, blue, and yellow flat bands. I will find my rhythm and what works for me.
I'm 60, and just got my first real slingshot, Scout LT, and this was fantastic info for the beginner! Got injured many years ago and I'm trying to get my strength back for archery, I know it couldn't hurt! Thanks Zack!
I haven't pulled the band on a slingshot (BlackWidow) since I was 14. Thanks for letting me into your home, Zachary and taking me back to simpler days.
It's actually kinda cool how much overlap there is between slingshots and firearms. Sure, the controls are different, but the basics of stance, grip, and sight alignment being the most important all match up. And it's really true about focusing in. Usually it's abbreviated to "aim small, miss small," but when I trained with guys in close protection, we aim for the X in the centre rather than the circle surrounding it, and aim for the number 5 rather than the whole T-zone.
As an old timer....we always made our own. Back in the 50's, you could find inner tubes made from red rubber. Those were by far the best for your bands. To us southern boys a "sling shot" was a totally different weapon....think David & Goliath. We called them "bean flips" even though round rocks were the normal ammo.
Man! This video really helped me. Following this instruction, and practicing 30-40 shots over a couple of days and I am more accurate than I have EVER been. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Liked and subscribed! Bought a tee shirt from your merch. Hope you get a good cut.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in a way that is detailed but not overly complex! Easy to understand for us slingshot newbies :)
Thank you so much for this video. The tip on how to hold the ammo changed everything for me. I've gone from wondering where the shot will go to a reasonable level of confidence I will hit where I'm aiming.
Awesome. Who'd of known there was so much to it. Time putting them down range is key. Awesome.
I started shooting two or three years ago, and this was a great set of pointers back then. I came across it today again, and it warmed my heart. Thanks, man.
I appreciate your comments on FOCUS and splitting the atom!!!! I'm 67 and have been using the same method with different terminology for MANY years!!! As with many things in life easy to say...difficult to do!! I'm just rediscovering slingshots and your info has been VEEERY Helpful!!!
I was just out in my patio shooting my "Wasp" slingshot - and I'm 74.
I've been a slingshot shooter for about 40 years and I lerned by myself how to shoot intuitively (like when you throw a stone with your hand) and I've always shot pretty accurately even though I don't aim at all.I have also always shot with the rubber bands in front and never behind,🤔 but after watching your video, I have already changed them😉.I never had a frame shot, only once I hit my hand, besides I always considered myself a right-handed shooter because I held the slingshot with my right hand, and watching your video, it turns out that I am a leftt-handed shooter 🤣...There is always something to learn. Greetings from Mexico.
This is great Zach! Wow! I am a noob and haven't even shot my sling yet. But, this is the way all tutorials should be made. Nice detail, and poses to help orient how I will aim and fire. Thanks again!
I watched this video and literally for like the first time my wife and I were able to hit stuff with a slingshot consistently, thanks man very good lesson!
Thank you for this. It really highlighted so many aspects of why I can't hit what I think I'm aiming at. First, the slingshot I choose, second was how to sight.
Brother this is the best tutorial by far..... by your teaching I figure it out what I was doing wrong and to be honest I was getting very frustrated with the whole thing. But now I know exactly what to do plus I am using your extra tips!! Thank you so much for making this video it helps a lot.....
Great video, just got my first ever slingshot. This is a great introduction to the technique and basics of becoming an accurate shooter
That was a great lesson. I like how you emphasize the work factor, and not trying to get too flashy, too fast.
I learned to shoot sling shots from my dad.... The Can Opener.... this video, and countless others of yours, makes me want to break the thing back out and start practicing again.
Nicely done Zach. Was great to have these instructions in person too.
Wow he does house calls ... Awesome

some times my jokes are even funny :)
Hey Zach, I got spare time to hang amd fly up there. Lol This is awesome
@@nomadicoasis9260 de la boille
I might as well be a beginner. This is going to be really helpful.
Ya I wish i understood focus the way i explained it in the video when i first started out. I really didnt fully understand that till after a year of shooting. And it's usually the reason why i miss on an off day.
Fowler's Makery and Mischief any advise on what to get to start out on?
No idea what prices are good nd sht lol
ManCraftingTM what if t shoots in the eye
Truth or Bullsit get a Wasp UniPhoxx
The Un-Known Musician thanks. I got a black widow as I remember them when I was a kid. Looked up this one you said and glad you did as was going to buy a flat band one this month anyway so thanks for your advise. Looked it up nd gonna get it👍
Glad to see the Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter in your pocket...One of my favorites!
My son and I just watched this video after spending an hour of frustration, missing cans. We watched this video, and now he is nailing them from 15 yards. He said "I wish I could call this guy and thank him for his video, I love my slingshot now!"
Thank you sir.
I've been using a slingshot since I was a small kid - and I'm still very accurate without using flat bands. I use the tubes at the moment for target shooting - no problem.
The advice in this video is pretty spot on, the explanations are fairly clear and make sense...but it was the bomb blast scene that had me laughing out loud. Thank you!
You're welcome thanks for watching
I'm a big fan of ALONE and survival skills. When I decided I needed a small/lightweight/easy to pack hunting tool I thought of Fowler (you) from season 3 and your success hunting. Of course I had to watch your entire channel on "everything" slingshot, and decided on the simpleshot Hammer XT with both shot and bow sling heads. This thing is AMAZING! I am a taller person and really allows me to adjust my draw quickly and is very comfortable even with my arthritic hands and joints. I just received some basic training arrows @ 34" (for my tall lanky draw) and can't wait to start practicing.
Shout out to Fowler for his recommendations and informative vids and to Simpleshot for awesome customizable shooters for non-standard sized people.
Thanks for being a very genuine and aware instructor. I learned a lot from this video!
Awesome tutelage Zach, I'm grateful for the time spent with you and Chris and all the slingshot training you provided.
your welcome ! We'll do it agin !
thank you for teaching me how to target the slingshot properly
I plinked around with the round band one you first had all through my childhood. I just got one with flat bands. I'm going to have tons of backyard fun.
Loved your presentation, 71 years young, been an off and on sling shooter all my life, my barber turned me on to your site, I’ll definitely be ordering some bands and pouches- thanks
Just found your video playlist. I've chosen the Ocularis to start with. Even though I could get it faster and cheaper from Amazon, I've placed my order through your website as a thank you for this great content. I look forward to nurturing this new skill with your guidance.
thank you !
From France, thank you for your instructive video. 🙏👍
Thank you for the information and you inspired me to start a survival bag and get a slingshot from you thank you Zach
We don't hold and shoot it vertically or horizontally but in between around 120 degrees so our hand can follow thru naturally. If the situation requires of course will shoot upside if that the case but rarely. Best tutorial I found on RUclips mate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the awesome advice, I'm still working on my slingshot skills so very helpful. All the best dude. 👍
cool thanks
This brings back Zelda memories that’s how I fell in love with slingshots
Bought a Simple Shot Sling Shot several years ago. Only tried it a couple of times. Watching your videos has renewed my interest. Now if I can only remember where I put it...
Bardzo dobry film.
W końcu zobaczyłem jak poprawnie powinno się strzelać z procy. Dzięx
After all these years!!!! I am SO glad I found this vid and your channel! The explanation of the proper sighting alignment-picture was priceless!! Next, I always thought that tubes were the way to go for more power, but now I know better!! Can't wait to start practicing tomorrow! Strangely enough, LOTS of the little mom and pop shops here (Thailand) sell slingshots, believing them to be little more than toys, but they're cheap! AND I found one shop that sells replacement bands!! They are brownish rubber, kind of thick and narrow, not the yellow "hi-tech" rubber/plastic I see on your channel, so not sure about the 'snappiness', but the main thing for me is to get the stance/grip/sighting/release/accuracy worked out first. Right? Priorities!! lol!
PS I just also watched the "Old School Daisy Marksman Wrist-Rocket" vid, so I'll try both, as I have a wood fork-type slingshot (or 3) AND an old wrist rocket. Gonna be fun!!!
Thanks for making and sharing SUCH a great vid!!
Omg such a long comment I just read the first two lines 😂😂
@@PriyankaBharti-dl3ef
But at least David Schmidt had something useful to say !
This was the best video I’ve seen for how to sight, pinch and the draw for a sling shot.... thanks
Didn’t expect to see you here.
You are brilliant! Plain and simple! Thanks so much for helping me learn so I can show the boy.
Very wise thanks.
Thank you, u had got me into slingshots 2 years ago and now from going ttf shooting I am now going ott style likr u do alot
This has been really helpful, thank you!
Cheers from Tokyo!
Your teaching is great -- and your shirt is too !!
Thanks!
Your video really helped me out a lot as far as learning how to shoot a slingshot, the second time I picked it up I started hitting targets right off at 30 or 40 ft just from using all of your tips from this video so thank you big shout out to you
the record scratch + freeze frame during the safety glasses part - perfection! :)
Thanks man, I was missing every shot until I saw your tutorial. You are truly a legend!
I love how you include an axe with your kitchen utensils.
Thanks,I am a kid and I am from India 🇮🇳 . I have ordered a slingshot and it will come tomorrow.
Nicely done!!! Quick to the point and repeating the main points,great demo and humor as well !!! Thanks You!!!
Thank you very much for this...best instructor I've known so far
your welcome thanks for watching
Great video Fowler! I feel like I an expert at slingshot shooting now.....🤔 ~shoots his eye out~ 🤕👀👓
Ya you level up just 5% every time you watch this video ;)
LOL that's awesome! 😂👊 - Danny
You passion shines. Thank you for your practice and dedication to bring us this gem. I'm going to practice right now!
Thank you sir. As a kid i just shot rocks and made it work. Now that im almost 30 i saw one at Harbor freight and thought it would be a fun throwback. Realized i have no idea how to aim and this helped tremendously
You are great man. Thank you for bringing back lots of good memories, I think I am going to buy one and find me some thing to hunt even a lizard.
your welcome
Thank you. I never knew how to aim a sling shot.
You’re a natural educator. Thank you. 😷
I just got my fist slingshot. Trying to figure it out. Watched lots of videos on how to aim. And I couldn't figure out what my problem was. I would miss so badly. I thought I just ducked. Your video was the only one to mention how to hold the ammo. That was the key for me. Thank you. Now just to practice.
Great tips Fowler! THX
your welcome
I like Sling shot👍
Thank you , absolutely brilliant teaching thanks again , I'm stoked
Thanks for making these videos. My son wants to learn how to use a slingshot to hit targets in the backyard. I’ve subscribed and saved the playlist for reference. I guess I will be learning right along with him. 😊 Thanks again.
Focus on a single spot. Reminds me of, "Aim Small, Miss Small"
ya exactly
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief tvbhhhhb ynnjjjuny
“Aim small, miss small” 🎯
I just noticed that it is a great help in understand aiming if you have shot before with a bow!
Great channel! Greetings from Finland!
Very cool. I'm glad I watched this video before trying to use my sling shot and I'm going to go ahead and use my safety goggles. My sight is really important to me.
I just bought one of your slingshots I am so exited for it to come in!!!
cool happy shooting
All the folks who pressed thumbs down missed the target.
Thank you for taking the time to create and upload this video for us. Great instructions 👍
I learn more English with you than with my teacher, greetings
Wow why haven't I seen your videos before now! I will be getting one of your sling shots! And I've watch 3 videos now and im hooked!

your welcome thanks for watching
Also coming from Archery, looking forward to putting this advice into practice...
I've always thought of archery and slingshooting as first cousins - they've many things in common. With slingshooting, you won't break or lose an expensive arrow, plus slingshooting is a lot more portable and less expensive overall. Also, there's usually many more places that you can shoot a slingshot where flying arrows wouldn't be permissible or practical.
THWACK!
Best slingshot videos I've (newbie) come across, Zach. Excellent sound, lighting, and instruction.
I want to try my hand at shooting darts - not fishing but targets. Thanks for your efforts.
I love RUclips and people like you. Thanks for sharing. Seriously
Just have to say WOW! I hope I learn like This
There are always going to be little things that people may disagree on but this is actually a very good well thought out tutorial. I will add it to my list of videos to recommend to new shooters. Well done
thanks Dan !
What other videos would be on that list I wonder? 🤔
🤔
As someone brand new to slingshots, this was incredibly helpful and educational. Thanks for this!
your welcome
Just got my new sling shot from Fowler's store, 1000 rounds of 3/8 clay. So now it's time to practice!
I bought my second slingshot (in my whole life). I had a slingshot when I was a kid, and it was taken away from me. I couldn't find it again. Wanted one for decades, and I got one, and it makes me so happy.
nice and cool instructions
Thanks for watching
I made my first slingshot this week
sweet happy shooting
Very nice job explaining the essential proper use of the slingshot. Thank you for your video.
Thanks. I've been trying to figure out how to be more accurate. I'm noticing it's similar to shooting a bow and arrow. Keep up the good work.
I ordered the axiom ocularis this week but i was just wondering what size ammo you prefer to use btw love ur vids 🤘
I like the 7/16 steel the best
Hi Zach I shoot against the ties and it’s a little bit more accurate than ott but that’s me
Not only great info but a good video format too
Oh thank you! For teaching other's and also me
And flat bands are SUPER easy to convert to on those old wireframes, just watched a short video on it. Thank's for that tip. *stares at old Daisy wireframe. You're about to get a makeover girl.
