Even though it's been 5 years I think that is the best video that is really teaching (not just showing) different slinging techniques for absolute beginners!
I've got to tell you that your video was the only one that showed clearly any of the sling techniques, and you did more than one! Thanks for the post. We're doing a "slaying giants" series in church and this might be cool for me to do with some of the youth (with tennis balls).
Very good Video. You really helped me learning how to Sling. This is The best Video i could Find on The Internet about this topic! :) Greetings from Germany
im a slinger and have been throwing for years my favorite throw is the beleric style im most accurate with that style i hunt rabbits and small game with that throw i do throw with the figure 8 style like you showed and i throw greek side arm my farthest throw with a sling was only 153 yards but im only 16 so... the world record currently in distance i think is 440 yards
Tämä video auttoi kun päätin harjoitella linkoamista, olen löytänyt jo itselleni hyvän tavan lingota kovaa ja kauas, mutta tarkkuus on asia jonka oppimiseen taitaa mennä vuosia.
thank you so much I've been making these things like crazy and now I finally know how to use them thank you for sharing the knowledge I will pass it on good video
The dynamics here are very interesting, you might enjoy looking into Poi spinning. From watching it apearrs to use the same kind of muscle groups and motions
The figure 8 style was what I learned to do from a neighbor as a young teenager. He was a Yaqui Indian from northern Mexico and showed us how to do it that way. We were using the swing it in circles before releasing overhead. The figure 8 is really powerful. However in learning I managed to hit myself several times in the left collar bone on the other side from my right throwing arm. This left a couple of small scars. Your video is quite good at covering the techniques.
I have created a frame (nails in a board) in the shape of my pouch with the middle wider and the ends narrow. Then when I weave it the middle weaves are longer/wider and the ends are shorter/narrow. Hope that makes sense.
Bro thanks so much for your vid. Its been so frustrating finding anything on specific techniques. Diferent throws. But youv cleared up my suspiciinscthat its geometry controll. Myself i have prolapsed discs do cant twist. But the overhand droo behungvtge head sounds weird. But its completely accurate conservation of energy. Like a cam in a compound bow. Except you are the cam. And much stronger.
+Big Kahuna I appreciate it, I've been rewatching this vid to work on my technique, I've gotten fairly comfortable with the figure 8. But thanks again for the video, very informative.
Finally! Someone who knows and teaches how to REALLY use a sling (it's a little scary to see how much misinformation is out there and promoted as the proper way, which yields such inaccuracy in the throw).
Great video. The power lines remind me of a strip of hi-way heading from Reno to Alturas to go and shoot squirrels in Cedarville. I am defiantly going to make a short, and lond version to play with thank you.
I've been throwing for a long time and my finger hasn't been strangled yet, even with heavy weighted throws. Granted, my slip knot is tied tight rather than loose and doesn't freely or easily move. Also, with the technique I use, I am holding on to both ends of the sling rather than one end with the other pulling on my "tied off" finger as swing the sling for a throw. The only purpose of the sling tied to my finger is to keep it with me when I let go. And yes, if you're concerned with finger strangulation, a bowline would remedy that.
The spinning for judging the stones weight that method such as the helicopter method were used with pond and river rock more than man made ammo such as the Greek versions
I'm not a vendor, but on Amazon there are several people that sell home made slings. The guy in the video? Check the link just to be sure whether he might sell some or not.

As I saw my rock soar through the sky, and then over my garage, all I could hope is that I wouldn't hit a glass object of my neighbors property.
I already broke a few windows and angered lots of neighbors trying to practice, just go to the woods and pick up a few tin cans
Even though it's been 5 years I think that is the best video that is really teaching (not just showing) different slinging techniques for absolute beginners!
You technique is good, I would suggest doubling the length of your sling and throwing bigger stones, you will generate much more power.
David Morningstar Thanks. I noticed that when I started using a longer sling with larger rocks. My accuracy went way down but a lot more power.

Throw with the longer sling. Accuracy will become better overtime.

Greetings from Germany
+Horst Schlemmer I'm glad it was helpful. Have fun slinging.
need to learn that... poor bastards these days will never find out where the rocks are coming from...
Thanks, I've learned a lot.. Now it's time to make Rome proud...
For the Rome empire long live Augustus lol
Just got my paracord sling in the mail yesterday. So far so fun!
im a slinger and have been throwing for years my favorite throw is the beleric style im most accurate with that style i hunt rabbits and small game with that throw i do throw with the figure 8 style like you showed and i throw greek side arm my farthest throw with a sling was only 153 yards but im only 16 so... the world record currently in distance i think is 440 yards
my record is 4meters.... and i have thrown it only once but i failed and the rock fell before i really could throw it 😂but second try is coming close
Baseball pitcher throw at 95mph, how fast on a sling?
@Taylor Chesal thats a fast moving missile
@Taylor Chesal wow..amazing
Great video man very informative!!

How long are the cords on the short sling if you don't mind me asking? Short sling seems versatile an would like to try it out
go utah ... me too... very nice video two thumbs up

How do you make the pouch so narrow at the ends and wide in the middle?
I have created a frame (nails in a board) in the shape of my pouch with the middle wider and the ends narrow. Then when I weave it the middle weaves are longer/wider and the ends are shorter/narrow. Hope that makes sense.
It does. Thank you.
Great video, you explained and presented each technique very well. And with my luck even with a marshmallow I'll break a window
Bro thanks so much for your vid.
Its been so frustrating finding anything on specific techniques.
Diferent throws.
But youv cleared up my suspiciinscthat its geometry controll.
Myself i have prolapsed discs do cant twist.
But the overhand droo behungvtge head sounds weird.
But its completely accurate conservation of energy.
Like a cam in a compound bow.
Except you are the cam.
And much stronger.

How to record a sling video.
Step 1- Must be the Windiest day of the year.
long sling is best good video :-)
This is AWESOME! Can you make a vid hitting targets using the various techniques, I just made my first paracord sling this weekend and I'm hooked.
+Hill Top That's a good idea. I'll work on that one.
+Big Kahuna I appreciate it, I've been rewatching this vid to work on my technique, I've gotten fairly comfortable with the figure 8. But thanks again for the video, very informative.
Guess I don't upload I was hoping I found another youtuber of this nish hobby
Thanks mate, oi lost my walking outside loicense and I already gave me guns and knoives to the constable so I needed this
Finally! Someone who knows and teaches how to REALLY use a sling (it's a little scary to see how much misinformation is out there and promoted as the proper way, which yields such inaccuracy in the throw).
Best videoi have seen on this subject. Now all i need is to figure out what paracord is
Horst this was the only video I found lol great one at that thanks really helpful
Bring a rock sling to a gun fight. Well it's not a knife so it's a go😆
Thankd
I'm finding mine quite easy to learn. And so much fun to hang out on the river and try to clear the river.
I just made one from paracord. It's a lot of fun
Great video. The power lines remind me of a strip of hi-way heading from Reno to Alturas to go and shoot squirrels in Cedarville. I am defiantly going to make a short, and lond version to play with thank you.
Best video I’ve seen on the subject!..
And, are you going to show us how to weave one?
I can't seem to get a sonic crack on paracord slings, did you ever find you got that snap when slinging with paracord?
The Figure 8 throw is the best for me.

bruh do a bowline not a slipknot that will suffocate the shit out of your finger when you use any weighted object

Are you on Elberta Slant Road? lol So I use to make much longer slings and could huck rocks like 100-200 yards easily.
Didn't expect the tornado at 4:20. Caught me completely off guard.
Cool marshmallow idea.
Super...! En peingnant les projectiles avec une couleur fluoressante , nous pourrions mieuxvoir la course ...?
One of the better instructional videos on slinging (and I have viewed many!).

Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful
ditto below, thank you for sharing.
Epic
Great explanation, thank you!
I really hope that u can make a video about how to make a sling like this
Did you do your outdoor slinging by the Jordanelle Reservoir?
Did it on the back side of Utah Lake.
how much it seems very complex and time consuming?
Are you asking a question?
Oh I was wondering if you were selling them
I'm not a vendor, but on Amazon there are several people that sell home made slings. The guy in the video? Check the link just to be sure whether he might sell some or not.
+John Harrington Yes we sell them. If you are interested go to the link in the description. etsy.me/1PfR9qd
he Hilltop me to there's not many of us left got to communicate
Nice video, thanks for that. I can see myself with Caesar at Alesia with the archers and slingers holding off Vercingetorix and his relieving army.
