Very interesting!

Cool! Do you mess with police using this device?

Love the channel name, your doin it tho bud, good for you

Thankyou ima have a collection now!!!

size and weight of stone ammo?

I always found the shift from these to javelins perplexing as well. Where did you get this formula to calculate the optimal balance point?

150ft??? - Both Roman and Greek writers say that the sling could out-range the bow. The advantage of range is repeatedly stressed. This could, it seems to me, be because the sling had a greater effective range, arrows losing their power to air-resistance after a while, and falling out of control onto their target, whereas a sling stone might build up a more dangerous speed just from falling. The effective range of slings seems to be in excess of 360 yards. Assyrian reliefs show slingers attacking cities from further away than the archers. Perhaps this is because the archers were used to shoot straight at defenders on the walls, while slingers dropped stones into the city, or perhaps it is just another clue to the greater range of slings.

You must practice until you go bald!

So, how has it held up 7 years later? :D

Very cool! Thank you.

Christ Jesus is coming. Repent and turn to Jesus, the Lord, Whom we bruised on the cross because of our sinfulness. And you will find mercy.❤

Thank you for your very informative video. Just ordered exact same stove and pot as yours.

There's a Reason to play Lacrosse and it's Atlatl training

Miss this channel such good stuff he really looked into the abilities of primitive weapons and there potential

Groovy.

That bow ain’t gonna hurt anything, it’s too slow and has no power in it. At this point just my a spear and hunt it down yourself

Bic uses a delrin resin which is tough. Btw, Good use of that music with the visuals. Well done.

Love your video. Thanks for helping me not overthink a handy tool

ha I just found this video because I'm getting older and can pull long strands of hair out, I was like, dude, I could make a fire with this :)

Have you tried the staff sling ?

Anyone here in 2024

You need a lot of training and practice to master thé accurate use of a sling. In survival situation, it Would bé useless, because power without accuracy is just dust and noise. A Trap will give you a better return, and if you are starving, you will quickly understand it.

I just made one because i left my original one at my friends house but i forgot how and other vids didnt help me till i found this video and i saw this type of sling and I can say it works. The new one is kinda better than the original

Worst feather sticks I've ever seen!

"more than good enough for hunting bears" its hard to imagine anyone having the balls to throw this at a bear :D

Can this be made with pop cans some how? I would also like to know if you can put in carbon felt or insulation in order to prevent a spill spreading fire ? Will it still work fine?

Interesting. I think javelins also had the advantage against armored opponents.

balearic sling, search for that, i saw here in Mallorca 80 years man hitting targets at 30 meter ruclips.net/video/EY7EOspW594/видео.html

Our ancestors would not have used them if they were not great.

I found a rawhide bolas at a flea market yesterday, thanks for the throwing tips!

Free palestine thanks gor acknowledging the struggle of the palestinians

I live somewhere that continues to use atlatls for a long time after other places had stopped. Looking at the plants that grow here i wonder if the change was that in harder conditions the thicker trees, even sapplings, didnt grow as well as smaller scrub like ones. So a weapon that took more skill to make but could use smaller trees and/or branches and the use of fire to straighten them was favored. Then when places warmed and growing conditions most places allowed for better tree growth it was dropped for the old theowing spears again exept in scrub lands without easy access to the right materials.

Im thinking of making one cause one of my arms often hurts so a one handed weapon is appealing. Im not sure my arms would handle the stress of a bow.

You don't know what you're talking about. Throwing sticks are carefully sculpted into an airfoil such that as the stick flies through the air, the lift generated by the airfoil forces it to fly a straight path. Any unbalancing of the stick makes it curve off to the side. That's why boomerangs come back to you. Boomerang is just the Australian word for any blunt wooden weapon.

Its skill gap. If you hunted with a sling for years it would be very dangerous. And idiot can master a gun in a few weeks.

Did the pre-Atlatl Javelins have the range extender string? If that was invented after the Atlatl then it would all make sense.

“Self defense weapon”. Ha! At the point someone breaks out an axe they’re not being defensive, they’re getting offensive.

Beautiful!

When properly mastered made and used the right way u can send rocks flying at 750mph u start by swinging around at your side and then swing it up above your head speeding it up then back down to your side speeding it up again then do a 360 as hard as u can swing your arm out as hard as u can then let it rip

that handle wrapping looks ridiculous.

liked and subbed

good video

do you have a link to a split-pouch sling?

Please tell me you are named David! Peace and love.

Huh? I was able to hit targets within 15 minutes of the first time I ever used one. I just made my first sling yesterday and have been blasting trees all over the property. I think you need to learn the correct technique!

lol, wonder if a pvc pipe with one end cut to a point would work for a dart. It could take 10 min to make one!

That was great. I bet it would be fun to throw too.
