Introducing the Dankung "Panther", plus: 52 Slingshot Drawings!

[xxjdubb93xx]

If you don't make knives.. I think you would be an amazing knifesmith (fixed blades).

[PianoMan876]

Jorg, what slingshot would you recommend for a beginner. Please answer because i am thinking of buying one myself soon! :)

[sgschusswaffenlol9]

Cooles Video. Mach doch mal ein Review über die billigen Gymnastikbänder die im neuen Jahr bei Lidl gibt.

[HerrOmlet]

Hallo Jörg ! Ich hätte mal eine Frage :

Sollte ich mir deine "Cougar" oder die "Panther" kaufen ?

[MrLeonidas0001]

I'm glad you left - they are just are bunch of jealous weenies - you have some SICK handles on the Panther! I got one for my birthday and I'm so excited :) Great model.

[tallswede80]

have you ever tried slingshots with the swing and release style? Are they more or less powerful than the ones with elastic bands?

[namari94]

what is the best bands set up for long range precision shooting with the panther ?

Thanks

[LukaPoljak]

what dankung means?

[LukaPoljak]

what dankung means???

[dididing123]

@LukaPoljak "Dankung" is derived from the chinese words "dan-gong". In mandarin chinese, it means "chinese slingshot". =)

[LukaPoljak]

@dididing123 thans for the expanation

[namari94]

I would like to buy a panther slingshot but what to you think is the better: the unwrapped, the wrapped or the wooden handle and which bands are the best for maximum power and precision ?? Thanks

[iLOVEL4MP20]

Wow! very nice craftsmenship!

[spoons2020]

GANGSTER STYLE LOL

[TheRealColt]

joerge you always make brilliant videos and you shouldnt even mention them imbosiles on your videos.

[RH697]

lol

before you shoot :)

drawing back >:O

after shot >:D

[MrPhreeradical]

Sorry to see you go Joerg, ive been watching your vids for some time now.

bet your wife kicked your ass for breaking the big window :- /

I am following your channel on blogspot... not sure how to become a member as I havent used blogs before. That cannon of yours looks like some heavy duty stuff.

***alan/phreeradical***

[stefan5007]

i feel bad for joerg people are so mean and he seems like a sweet person :(

[usernamegta4]

side ways like the black guys holds gun

[durabrigt]

i enjoy the "gangster" style.

[alexandermciscoolert]

they dont didnt like you because your slingshots are so good? to me thats the equivalent this: military person* the guns you are designing are too powerful and efficient. your guns are so awesome and superior over everyone elses and we will surely defeat any enemy! thats why im firing you because obviousely its not good to be stronger thatn anyone else. weapon designer* fine, keep crappy weapons and die using them

[hafv1]

cant you make a panther out of carbon fiber

[shaokem]

That is one wicked sling shot!!! Gotta get me one! Would be great for hunting in a emergency situation while day hiking or adventuring. A panther is next on my list!

[KrazyShrink]

So basically on the forums they were like "YOU'VE TAKEN THIS TO FAR! WE CAN'T CONTROL THE POWER!" and you were like "NOOOO! THIS IS THE FUTURE!" and they were like "TURN BACK BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!" and you were like "NEVER! GIVE ME SLINGSHOTS OR GIVE ME DEATH!" and then you left and now you're gonna build a slingshot that fires the moon into the earth and blow it up and kill everyone.

[JoergSprave]

@KrazyShrink That is putting it very drastically, but yeah, basically that's what happened.

[KrazyShrink]

@JoergSprave Hehe got it. Also, you should make a slingshot that uses other slingshots as ammo. Unless that would, like, tear a hole in the universe.

[trwsandford]

@KrazyShrink lol!

[xXphilosoraptorXx]

well i dont think the slingshots you make are too extreme. i just think there are very creative. i would never be able to come up with something like the saw blade shooting slingshot or the laser guided slingshot.

[deeds1957]

I bought a cougar but it it too wide for me.

[CERBERUS300ify]

not sure why you had to leave the forums..... ppl will talk shit if you give them a place to do it... blog, forum, whatever. fuck the haters, you are the king of this shit joerg, dont let some little 12 year old spoiled americans ruin it for the rest of us :(

[JoergSprave]

@CERBERUS300ify It was a bit more serious than that, and the admin did not back me up. So it was time to leave. On my own site, I can ban the trolls if they overdo it.

[CERBERUS300ify]

@JoergSprave well thanks for the quick reply :) i guess i dont know all the details, but i can certainly understand not wanting to be around something i dont like, why introduce unnecessary stress into our lives, not much time to live, cant waste it on little things... its really too bad though, cause i joined that forum as a result of your videos, only to find out that you are no longer there! LOL anyways, while i got your attention, let me shower you with as much praise as i can your the best!

[CERBERUS300ify]

@CERBERUS300ify i say that because i was able to kick an addiction by your videos inspiring me! now instead of smoking dope, i make and shoot slingshots! i thank you for showing me the path! the positive role model that you portray with the muscles and the craftsmanship really showed me that there are alternatives to being high all the time. now instead of video games i make something tangible : slingshots and anything else! just got started a few weeks back, but your vids gave me the incentive!

[CERBERUS300ify]

@JoergSprave so... THANK YOU!!! for all that you do, you have no idea that positive affect and effects it has on people! i look forward to watching all your vids when i can :) ( but now im busy shooting marbles :P )

[EpicHawk]

@JoergSprave Good for you. Keep up the good work!

[lngbrdsrcool]

@CERBERUS300ify come on do they have to be "american" not all of us are douche bags

[gtg356y]

@CERBERUS300ify common man the "americans" bit is unnecessary; why the baseless insult? Turning a negative opinion into a generalization about an entire country of people is a bit ignorant... do yourself a favor and don't sink that low...

[CERBERUS300ify]

@gtg356y thx for the comment :P i stand by my words on this issue.

[TheThunderUnicorn]

@CERBERUS300ify why did you have to put "American's" in there?

[CERBERUS300ify]

@TheThunderUnicorn because your all whiny brats.

[TheThunderUnicorn]

@CERBERUS300ify i dont think you should get your opinion of Americans off of the internet.

[CERBERUS300ify]

@TheThunderUnicorn just keep talking and proving me right, spoiled american :P

[TheThunderUnicorn]

@CERBERUS300ify so all Americans are spoiled? that's a smart thing to say

[CERBERUS300ify]

@TheThunderUnicorn i keep hearing: derpa derpa derpa herpa derpa derp, when i read your replies, UMAD?

[TheThunderUnicorn]

@CERBERUS300ify You're a moron, instead of actually making points you try unorigional jokes.

[CERBERUS300ify]

@TheThunderUnicorn yet you keep coming back for more... you must be one of the "smart" americans :P

[TheThunderUnicorn]

@CERBERUS300ify good try at feeling like you won something by making stupid comment's,but i win.

[vv2304]

I think your bald head is shiny in many ways, I bet you use brazilian waxing to remove all the hair. Slingshot channel style. I tried it once, kept the hair from growing for two months.

[thebiggerhammer]

F**K the haters! Ur channel is awesome!

[TheSeamonkeyStudios]

Im sorry people insult you - theyre just jealous of youre tallent.

[masterplomo1]

this its amazing slingshot I want one, send me one to México

[espermatazoide]

I never expected that on the slingshotforum. I was a member, and was quite active for a while, everyone seemed nice. Sad to hear they've all gone nasty.

Please keep your YouTube videos going. I've been a subscriber since you had just a couple hundred subscribers and I need my slingshot video fix all the time now!

[MrBudwv]

We like the extream. Be sure to make the anouncement on you tube so we can join you.

[Fordi]

@JoergSprave

Remember CoD Rule #9: People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.

Good on leaving the Slingshot forums; you've probably got everything you needed from them, and sifting through nothing but vitriol for whatever gems may have been left sounds like diminishing returns. (Keep that in mind if you go back a year from now and think it's cool again for 10 seconds too; the returns will diminish again, and quickly).

[Nosferatul18]

Jörg, are those slingshot bands 3-layer thera gold bands ??

[Jhfgsjdcd]

So should I just unsub?

[jamessp007]

Wow 1" steel balls! You da man Joerg!

[ninjadude126]

lmao its funny hearing you say gangster style ...it duznt sound funny cuz your accent but just the way you said it

[Eugensdiet]

I've enjoyed all of your sling shots videos. Imagination and craftsmanship.

[togogot0]

Hey joerg!

Amazing slingshots. and keep on making them so awesome so we could have them :)

and can you make a video about your shooting technik and how you aim, because i have a new crappy slingshot and i cant aim well with it. and where do you buy your ammo? and is it ok to use marbles as ammo?

please reply to me its realy important to me

[Tipee78]

hey Joerg, it sucks that you have to leave the forum because of people being hateful. if they knew how much you like doing this, they would not say the things they do.

[ManInBblack]

My comment was far too long for youtube to accept, so I made an audio recording of myself reading it aloud instead. You can access it here ~ I'm hoping I was able to pronounce your last name correctly:

dl (dot) dropbox (dot) com/u/1765888/Sprave (dot) wav

[jordanasberry]

You are the guy that realy got me into slingshots I alwas looked fowerd to a newer video but when you sayed you where going to stop making videos I felt a pain my chest ! I always talk about your videos but now I feel like I have nothing else to talk about even as I type this I still fill the pain in my chest and my left eye is litterly tearing- up and whene I start my slingshot bisness I will always logoyour name on the front! I hope you get this comment because I realy mean it THANKS AND BYBY

[jackssheduk]

oerg did you get my new Hunter Wasp i sent you?

[optimaldarick]

How can any body hate your videos there are awesome and to whoever hates them screw you I think you should stop criticizing and just have fun and laugh and watch these awesome videos as a loyal subscriber I will still watch your videos thank you

[Kekermonger]

Who in their right mind can hate something like this?. Your slingshots and other devices are amazing.

You have probably brought more people into the slingshot world than any of the forums have.

As a loyal subscriber, I will keep watching your videos.

[MedManTheBrave]

I don't often comment on things but to hear that you'v left your beloved forums warrants my humble condolences. I only joined it to win a couger. I only joined because I saw your videos. You have brought catapults to an entire generation through free media. Which is what its for. You are an extremist. You are a showman. Sometimes that means being spectacular and unconventional.the jelous often stab you in the back. Youre an 'Experimental Purist' (it seems) Hail Ceaser! The senate will be sorry.

[angelodzn07]

Yeah

Slingshot Drive-by 

[TheIronicBear]

[Dieguinep]

I love the face this guy puts after he shoots any slingshot! It clearly seems like if he was saying "Hell yeah, bitch."

[FYahooo]

Great Slingshot please put me in for the drawing.

[torned00kaz]

[beareatsman]

gangsta style

[BELAGAAL]

i have the cougar and its AMAZING I want this now



[rockslinger100]

Really great slingshots!

[Eltoshian]

as much as I would love a free slingshot from you, I'd rather let someone who actually would be able to use it and appreciate it more. I'm more into just watching your vids and enjoying seeing what you come up with. Keep up the good work man, and don't stop making those crazy slingshots! Always a treat to see you in my subscription box =]

[alexanderpit2006]

You make really great videos and slingshots. Lots of new and interesting ideas. Keep it up!

[Gwendall666]

Amazing guy ! Please continue !!

Hello from france :)

[Mickeless]

there are always haters...

[rd2mark]

I have never used a slingshot but my friends and I love your videos. Sorry to hear you had to put up with forum BS! Haters gonna hate, forget about them!

[heino1989]

I'd like to know how many of the haters had TV teams visiting them because they are awesome..

[lordyjabujabu15]

everytime he says the intro it always makes me so happy lol

[angelodzn07]

GTA:Germany The Slingshot of Joerg Sprave

[theenglandguy]

to every troll on slingshot channel, ju7st stop for a second and look at the killer face jörg has when he shoots, then ask yourself: "would I troll him if I were directly in front of him?" if not, trolls, STFU

[rattanalauguico]

Just bought this shot my brother in the head with a metal pellet

[TheBoyFromNorfolk]

ZombieSquad will always love you Joerg.

[Bolrof]

Good on you jorg. You're popular enough on youtube that you don't need jealous people insulting you for making crazy awesome slings in some forum. Keep doing what you enjoy.

[TigerKurdish]

super cool slingshot! as always Joerg you've got talent and good taste!

By the way Joerg are you starting up something else on youtube since you are leaving the slingshot makings videos?

either way good luck bro we enjoyed your videos and hard work on making so many cool slingshots!

[JoergSprave]

@TigerKurdish I will make many more slingshot videos. I just won't present them on the slingshotforum anymore.

[DarkSlingshot]

I will only ever be okay with you leaving the public eye, if I later find out that you have become a sling shot wielding crime fighter. Your designs have really helped me to refine my own slingshot designs and shooting techniques. I'm really sad to see you go. You're the Man!

[kaziklu79]

I can't understand how there can be assholes that insult people in a slingshot (or any other hobby) forum.

[CrumpledPaperHearts]

Sorry about the haters, i love your stuff bro!

[badino101]

Joerg, sorry to hear you're leaving the forums but of course I understand your reasons. It was your crazy inventions that rekindled my interest in slingshots. The guys on your case really ought to get out more! Anyway keep doing your thing, it's guys like you who inspire imaginations. All the best from the U.K.

[yongfengtech]

Joerg, luckly i see that u didnt leave youtube, I am one of your biggest fan... and waiting for your video weekly ... BTW , DanKung .. in chinese mean Slingshot ... ^ ^ .. is it possible if I send u a draft to made a sling shot ?? cos I dont have enough tools to made them ..

[Jhfgsjdcd]

Dude nooooooo we enjoy these beast vids fuck the haters please continue u have a beast cam good jokes and other fun stuff please u can't just quit block the haters just because there jealous and they can't make one doesn't mean u gotta stop

[angelodzn07]

you should make a slingshot brass knuckles 

[gremlack]

I don't even care that you're marketing these to me. I'm fascinated and want more. You're honest, and knowledgeable.

[bachterman]

fuck the haters, jörg, because they can only hate.

[we66y357]

joerg im loving that slingshot with complete scales where can i purchase some olive wood? i will buy the slingshot its a beauty-also it will be sad to see you leaving the forums but i wish you all the very best for the future my friend-john(gamekeeper catapults uk) best wishes and happy shooting

[JoergSprave]

@we66y357 I bought the wood on ebay, used breakfast plates, very inexpensive.

[we66y357]

@JoergSprave many thanks joerg i will have a look see what i can get hold of-cheers

[cheroxx]

Jörg, I am really bummed out.. I am an archer and not really a slingshot enthusiast, but I love your videos! It's sad that people can't see that you're just having fun! :)

I will however join your blog as support, I'm going to miss you and your videos here!

Keep safe, and enjoy! Svein, Norway

[JoergSprave]

@cheroxx I won't leave youtube and will post many more videos here. I am just leaving the slingshotforum.

[MrGigistorm]

Joerg can you give me the measurements for bands for the sling-x-bow

[JoergSprave]

@MrGigistorm You can put on any kind of bandset. I like Thera Band Gold, 2 stripes per side, 2,8cm (fork x 1,8cm (pouch) x 23 cm (total length). You will loose 3 cm for the attachment. This bandset is for 13 to 16 mm steel balls.

[MrGigistorm]

@JoergSprave Thank you VERY much. Is there a place on the slingshot forum with more information for the sling-x-bow.

[JoergSprave]

@MrGigistorm The video has the links to the pdf blueprints, the video has many details how to make the weapon. I am no longer using the forum.

[MrGigistorm]

@JoergSprave ok i watched the video around 10 times yesterday and i can't stop. :)

Anyway you are great.

Bye

[97marq]

I saw your videos in attack of the show...

[97marq]

I like your videos...

[97marq]

heheh!

[97marq]

I want one because you have a nice hair!?

[JoergSprave]

@97marq Actually, I have more hair than most people - just not on the top of my head :)

[97marq]

I want one

[TheRubyShoesMusic]

There will be no surprises when we learn on day that he accidentally killed himself

[MrRyer56]

:( awww man your like the coolest bald guy ive ever seen im gunna miss ya

and lol "gangster style"

[JoergSprave]

@MrRyer56 I won't leave youtube, just the slingshotforum, no worries.

[rbentrdr]

@JoergSprave Hi JoeraSprave, just found your channel and love it. I'm American, 58 year old female. If the ___ UN and that stupid commie in the white house have their way and bans our guns, now we'll have something to fight with!! Thanks for the videos and I'll tune in to your blogspot. I haven't figured out the metal thing in the middle yet, but I'm sure the information is in there. Thanks again!

[lolmanAza]

wait firstly good leave dont take crap from people. and second are you still gonna post on youyube?

[JoergSprave]

@lolmanAza youtube forever!

[joshkkv]

@JoergSprave hallo mein freund, ich mag deine kanal :D sorry for my bad german :)

[Chugosh]

Sorry to have you leave the forums. I will look forward to more videos of ever more creative uses of rubber propulsion.

[mandorocks10]

im very sad to see mr.sprave go

[vedruss100]

Well Joerg, I'm sad to see you go. I have enjoyed your videos thoroughly!! Your modifications and 'creative' slingshots will be missed. If I can I will tune into your blog once in a while. Haters gonna hate from what I understand....and I guess I should have (and all other fans) flooded your comments section with how much we appreciate your videos. By the way bearings from CV joints of front wheel drive vehicles make great ammo!

Hope you return to video! From a fellow slingshot enthusiast!!

[JoergSprave]

@vedruss100 I will still make videos about slingshots, just not present them on the slingshotforum anymore.

[rayovacking]

You should make a slingshot that looks like the weapon from infamous 2! that would be awsome!

[AklyonX]

Look at the Uploader comments people!

He is not leaving youtube. just the slingshot FORUM.

[Kinsmyname]

PLZZ DONT LEAVE

[TheHYEGUY]

[TheHYEGUY]

[MrM2hb]

Don't leave youtube--I will not survive!

[clinmo]

I find you to interesting, to call you an extremist....fuck'em if there so narrow minded...no were i've seen have you talked about mass producing these awesome fantasy slingshots...So keep on building them!!

[keyedyourcar55]

[PiPphiltitley]

love the one with full scales mate.

peace n love all

stay safe pip

[brandonGCHACHU]

Those are great works of art Joerg! I would be afraid to shoot it....instead they would go in the art display case!

[desimation]

5 people dislike because they are not strong enough to draw a sling shot. :)

[WhiteRoarBlack]

Don't let the trolls get to you. You have a wife and an amazing life. They have a keyboard, and a garage.

[BladeReviewscom]

Rock on Joerg - I'll be readin the new blog.

[klf97]

Psh those dicks that insult you are just jealous of your bad ass

[05you2]

You said that you put on theraband yellow. I have worked with latex tubing but can't find a good way to attach it. Do you know of a good way?

[daniel0771]

the cougar is a very nice slingshot with tons of possibilities. great videos!

[togogot0]

!!!!!!! I cant coment on this blog it just wont lett me do it!!!!! please joerg if you read this please make your blog in english and there is something wrond with the commenting thing on it

i would love to win one of your designs

[JimmyFatz]

To see pure intimidation, pause the video after Joerg releases the projectile.

[MrDobbysock]

Thumbs if he should use firework ammo!!!

[Snipeyou1]

Joerg You rule!!

[LukaPoljak]

this one looks like you draw it in AutoCAD and cut it out on plasma machine from big sheet of metal about 5 mm thick, am I right?

[IDiedForYou1776]

its a shame they would insult you, you seem genuinely nice oh well their loss not having you around, keep doing what you do best making awesome slingshots :D

[geiorgy360]

how do you actually pronounce your name? when ever im telling my mates about you i never know if im pronouncing it right :S sorry cheers

[Gigabomber]

You are such an artisan. I thought the wood handle was impressive but then you topped that with the flawless metal modification. I am sorry that you had to endure that part of a forum experience, but I look forward to following you on your new site.

[L4Pyro]

Keep up the good work man, we all really enjoy your videos, forget the morons on the forums.

[teshaines]

keep up the good work joerg

i really doubt you can send a slingshot to south america, but anyways, i'll be visiting your blog

[jordanrussell123]

its such a shame that u are leaving but i cant blame you still a shame tho you was the one that got me in to slingshots and that Panther is good but i still think the Karabiner Slingshot is a lot better

[nukemm33]

Thank you for doing what you do. I think we all can appreciate your patience, skill, and creativity!

[curtisimo032]

Joerg your woodwork is beautiful

[MrSamson2005]

[Dline8]

Hes holding it sideways! Thats a kill shot! Thats a kill shot!

[GTFiorano]

great. your masterpieces anyour blog andyour channel best things on the internet! nice new slingshot- where is the giant one you were planning for summer?

[XxDefJefxX]

oh man what the hell?! i just literally just subscribed and now you're quitting?!

[stealthyspider]

We love your crazy slingshots. They are truly awesome.

[gangsta19x]

leave everything but dont leave youtube

[agun17]

And thus the great Joerg placed the zombie toilet seat ontop of the unruly slingshotforum's head and terminated it "for good".

[R0nard]

Always a pleasure to see new variations of old designs!!!

[YOYOBOY666999]

Man, I would not bother what some idiot says about your catapults - they are the best I have ever seen and only get better as time goes on - you rock.

I'm glad you are here. I believe you have a lot to contribute. I especially like the quality and creativity you bring to the sport Jorge. I have recently noticed your introduction of olive wood to your creations. VERY NICE!. I often feel a bond to things that have wood and fine craftsmanship in them. Maybe this is Montessori thinking but still you make the BEST. God Bless Jorge!
