Same as fishing - on freshwater dams and rivers you may not use a hobo handline. Coastline and seashore is fine. And the UK's KNIFE LAWS don't bear talking about...
The bow thing is because if you say to an English man... bows are legal to hunt with... more people get shot with arrows and well, 77M people (roughly(that we know of)) on a small island. It's crowded here 😅 it's super easy to shoot ya neighbours here, by accident, of course. Not to mention its more difficult to get clean kills with a bow compared to a compact shot from a sling. More humain killing. There are probably some actual and factual reasons for it rather than my spouting of satire for a smile above. ✌️❤️🤘
I've been watching you for a year or so and I've always been fascinated with how accurate you are. I bought a cheap slingshot last year and it just isn't cutting it. I just ordered a gamekeeper and a blood stopper from your page. I'll be looking forward to knocking some of these pest squirrels around my house. Keep doing what you do!
Wow, this video really showcases the art of slingshot hunting at its finest! 🎯 The accuracy and skill required to hit those targets are truly impressive. It's not just a sport; it's a deep connection with nature and a test of one's precision. Thanks for sharing this thrilling and educational content. It's a great reminder of the importance of responsible hunting and conservation. Keep up the fantastic work!
11mm steel is the best. For over 15 years of slingshot hunitng experience, i know for a fact that the blunt force trauma is the factor here. If you want to hit a rabbit head consistently you need a good normal mouth bow anchor point. No butterfly style of shooting is included here. Ideal would be 10 mm lead but its much harder to get and more expensive. Over that weight you will get unnecessary trajectory loss. 11 mm steel is 5.5 grams and kills every time if hit in rabbit head. 8 mm steel, 2 grams does not, belive me i have tried. I also recommend 1745 tubes over bands for 11 mm steel. Because you get atleast 10-15 times more shots before they brake. Also you dont have to mess with cutting tapered bands all day long. And the speed is fairly the same compared to thera band gold. So my advice is 11 mm steel and 1745 tubes :)
This is something that i’ve asked before…. i heard that this guys dad might of been…. would be interesting to know…. i know plenty of other hunters who aren’t gamekeepers and plenty of gamekeepers who aren’t hunters 🙄
Always love the infinitely valuable information and more than fantastic videos you put forth for all of us to see and take in. Thank You so, so, so much and keep it going please! We are here, we are listening and paying the utmost attention. We love your channel, your videos, and hope that the Great Lord above will continue to bless you in your present and future!
Has this more power and reach faster velocities than a barnett diablo with the flat band? And which brand/catapult do you recommend? Your a killer shot. excuse the pun :)
Awesome....some one who knows!!!, so I just got the PRO X slingshot....with the black mamba bands, ....nice but wear tear easily....so I just got some flat resistance workout bands....just would like to know will this be ok to sling 40-56 caliber steel balls with if so????.....and would these bands last longer??... thanks 😊
I just received my first slingshot today. Been shooting for decades but was still very surprised at how easy it was to dial in and get consistent shots at 15 to 20 yards. Really looking forward to mastering this before I take it to my permissions, will certainly be opening up new opportunities. Thanks for the content mate... What kind of distances do you stalk into for humane shots, your best practice recommendation once profecient?
@@GKJ-FISHING understood. My field craft is good for getting in to game at 25 yards no problem but I can see this improving further thanks to the slingshot.
I don't think you've been doing it long enough lol 😆 how many trophies, welldone mate. Love the videos I don't do game keeping or anything I just do targets I have great fun with slingshots. ❤
@@agabrielefolino4261 It’s really down to preference, I use 10 mm lead balls And 0.8 millimetre thick bands 25, going down to 20mm tapper But some people kill rabbits with 8 mm steel
Just subscribed and bought a GPS Hunter from your page. For now only to practice but eventually for the woodies and squirrels. Fancy something different from the air rifles.
Hi I've not been shooting very long, my prominent eye is my right and I'm right handed, so from everything I hear I should be holding the slingshot in my left hand but it doesn't feel right, so I hold it in my right hand, is this a no no and should I persevere with the left hand cheers ?
Hahahaaaa 😝 I’ve got a blurry t.v and I was like what the hell is that 👀 coming out the bush I was like is that a pig 🐷 and then you shot that bear 🐻 and I nearly chocked on me cuppa 😂 top vid gamekeeper John 🤘🏻
Hi John, I have one of your MDF OTT pocket poachers with the standard 30-20mm single theraband gold bands and I've been experimenting a lot with different ammo. I've currently settled on 10mm leads and yet it still just doesn't "feel" right if you get what I'm trying to say. Is it just me? Or is this ammo/band combo just not quite right? Just for reference I have taken the bands off and set them to the correct draw length for me rather than leaving them as they were when I received the catapult.
Hi John, I bought the ppmg + about 2 years ago after watching your videos, I can't get the bands to stay on every time I pull it back I pull them off, ?, I've watched your video on how to do it but it still keeps happening, please help
Want to thank you for all your information just only been shooting a few months I've learned so much. Your budget basher B is phenomenal and a great tool to own keep pumping out great videos God bless

Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up 👍
Thumb 135. Thanks bub! You and Chris got me started and Im 100% addicted. Not good enough to hunt yet but almost.
Stay safe and thanks bub!
How can aye get in touch with ya
@@FinehomesofNewHampshire pp
I followed the instructions and lost my thumb sorry mate.
Get up you Cory sniffer 😂😂😂
I grew up watch my older and uncles hunt with slingshots. Never took the time to learn. Definitely learning now.
Its weird that you're not allowed to hunt with bows when you are allowed to hunt with slingshots, doesn't make any sense does it?.
Same as fishing - on freshwater dams and rivers you may not use a hobo handline. Coastline and seashore is fine. And the UK's KNIFE LAWS don't bear talking about...

Make a lot of sense
@@scullyvisionofficial yea, the factual reason is civilians find guns scary, and the government likes a disarmed civilian, so it's a win-win😎
We cant hunt in ireland without firearms, make sense if that
Damn, you are accurate. Some are meant for this, I could never cross more than 5 birds/day. You are gifted.
Finally, some good sense on the internet! Great as always!
Really good and especially important for the hard rules and also the often (common sense) advice.

I just like your dog on 4:20 😂 good advices lad
Those metal slingshots you’ve got are really nice, do you make them with clips rather than wrap and tuck?

Did you make a rug out of the bear?
Great video John thanks for all the advice over the years and hope for more to come 😊
Pest control? Mice or Men?
one question I have…. is “Gamekeeper John” just a nickname…. or have you ever been a gamekeeper??
This is something that i’ve asked before…. i heard that this guys dad might of been…. would be interesting to know…. i know plenty of other hunters who aren’t gamekeepers and plenty of gamekeepers who aren’t hunters 🙄
It's actually his first and then second name... so he's Gamekeeper John (insert surname).
I recently bought a slingshot thanks for the advice John
@Tae'Shoun no I actually got it yesterday
Jeez that's long did you track it
When you see their legs twitching about after they have just been shot, do you think they're in pain? Or is that twitching just a spasm?
It's just twitching. If it's been hit in the head with a slingshot it's dead.
The word from the man himself - you're a legend to me buddy 👌
Right!?🤘🎯
The best I've ever seen, what a shooter, love these videos and still learning
the video quality is very good. what model is it mate?
You’re a good mate ! Thanks for the video! Good luck with your hunting.
Hello! What kind of rubber do you use, what thickness?
Which sligshot and ammo is the best for Squirrel hunting?
Tried the websites in the description but not working. Are you still selling the sling shots ?
Dear Sir! I would like to ask if there is a formula for cutting the length of the rubber. Thanks Robert
Ce fel de bile folosești? De oțel sau de plumb? Și ce dimensiune?
Spot on john i watched all your videos and you helped me learn how to shoot
Well said jonny boy!!💯👍🎯💥
Do you recommend any slingshot for novice children ? Thanks
Dear Sir! May I ask how hard it is to pull out the hunter's slingshot set? Measured in pounds. Sincerely, Robert
I see there is milbro among the slides. Can you hunt in Milbro?

Hey there Mr. Gamekeeper haven't started shooting yet how far away should I start shooting the end of the can to start me
Hi john which catapolt would you recommend for a newbie? Many thanks

Какая охотничья дистанция с такой длинной тяжей и какой диаметр шара, толщина резины?
Where do you buy your catapults please I love your videos by the way

What kind of distances do you stalk into for humane shots, your best practice recommendation once profecient?
Humane kills can be made upto 30-40m wit the correct set up but I always try to limit my hunting shots to 20m to maximise my chance if a clean kill….
@@GKJ-FISHING understood. My field craft is good for getting in to game at 25 yards no problem but I can see this improving further thanks to the slingshot.
Do you need permission in writing in the UK?
@@xrpgino6858 verbal is good enough but something in writing is handy to produce if ever stopped by the police.

Do you think a slingshot can kill a adult?
David vs goliath
Can you tell me what type of rubber you use?
I use Trojan Magnum size XL
What would I need to shoot 9 mm steels mate ?
Good video john cheers for tips
Thinking of purchasing one of your catapults. Do they come ready to shoot or do I need to attach the band myself?
They come ready to shoot out the envelope buddy
Great video ! I’m shooting 8mm steel ammo. What size bands (thickness and taper) should I be using for hunting small game (squirrel, birds)?
Where to buy good slingahot? Need powerful one
I'm feeling better now m8. Bin mooching about myself today. Hope to get a plastic ttf soon 😁😁👍

Great vid mate, keep it coming 👌
You don't eat the rat do you?
I am a beginner. I am shocked to watch the accuracy of your shooting. You are the best. How long do I have to practice to have the accuracy like you?
you and the like.
any notes on band thickness?
Subbed mate. Great channel and advice.
Wouldn't you say that slingbows are more effective?
Good video mate, but not sure why you say you like sniffing Corey's? 😂😂😂

Hi buddy 10mm lead will suit the GZK Green 0.8mm thick 25-20mm bands perfect that are on my eBay - cheers
"...racked up more than 97 trophies in tournament shooting.."
This got me excited....😁
Great video great advice.
Always find it very impressive for 1 that can shoot that accurate with a slingshot, that's pure skill there.
Did I hear right? 'Corey sniffing' 😂😂😂

What long rubber slingshot
0:15 - luckyard farm?
Corey sniffing 😂😂
No matar los pajaritos
John are we gonna ignore that a mountain lion ran behind you in the intro
Food for the table 👍
I have to ask, why do you shoot squirrels?
greet squirrels are big pests and attack other nests, they also eat food before it’s ready which red squirrels can’t causing them to starv
a part of it will always be fun
Wait, what was that 3rd thing you said? 😂
