Review: Gamekeeper Catapults, plus WIN A SLINGSHOT

[kaelum1210]

"And it also has a pinky hole... I like that" lol :o)

[sheepsfoot2]

WOW the noise that thing makes when it hits home,,...

i gotta have one. already own a commercial made slingshot with the red band...its crap.

[braydenpresber]

Joerg what do you think about commercial slingshots like trumark and barrnet? i was thinking about getting heavey pull bands for my old trumark wristrocket. Should i just get a slingshot with fibre optic sights, because i do alot of hunting.

[StoneSlinging]

hahahaha oldmansballbag LMAO.

[mikeknowshow]

in fact im going to pick one up soon myself

[mikeknowshow]

everyone you can buy his slingshots on ebay

search gamekeeper catapult

they are there :)

[daniel0771]

Where can I buy one

[swinderby]

has the gamekeeper got a website? Where can we buy his catapults?

[Marsthemartin31]

Pocket rocket 2 i mention

[Marsthemartin31]

Witch is better for hunting pocket rocket gamekeeper or demon gamekeeper.

[EvilLamas]

These look like great slingshots

I'm buying one very soon:)

[Mrklboy10]

[dogarilla]

Thanks and bye bye

[44SCB]

U should shoot a medival chest plate.

[dcox01]

Very nice reveiw. Joerg.

[Flumphinator]

Your weight gauge is very happy.

[HecterPlasmic]

28 ft/lbs! Very impressive. I own a pocket poacher myself.

[1996JGC]

i really like your slingshot ideas and inventions but also i'm a slingshot fanatic and i do have a go at making my own and i'm quit good at it for a 14 year old. i hope you make more great and wicked slingshot inventions.

[slingshotsws]

Gamekeeper are very good slingshots they look very powerful

[MW9000cows]

4:38 Kitty ! :)

[Uriel1816]

I really enjoy your channel. Good review.

Can you do a video on what is a good slingshot to have in your pack as a back up hunting game if you get lost idea?

Thanks

[pashastookie]

Joerg Sprave...the big brother everyone wishes they had

[12pointdeath]

why would some body dislike this he is giving something away and he shots stuff

[xiiRAGEQUITx]

Hello Joerg. I'm in Australia NSW and I'm 11 years of age. I was wondering what a good slingshot for me could be? Can you give me some choices? Thank You

[That604Dude]

Joerg, I had a dream that you invented The AXESHOT, the worlds first axe shooting slingshot/x-bow. If you haven't already, please make this happen. Imagine the badass-ness. Thanks guys and bye bye.

[sohy3010]

and do u think its better than huntercatapults?

[JoergSprave]

@sohy3010 Both products are very good.

[sohy3010]

which one is your favourite out of the 3?

[JoergSprave]

@sohy3010 I like the pocket rocket 2. Did you know I just designed a hammergrip frame for John? Check it out on his channel.

[sohy3010]

@JoergSprave thanks Joerg :) il check it out

[AcousticBeaver]

I JUST BOUGHT ONE, THANKS!

[longboarders1]

where can i buy it?!

plz reply.

[AcousticBeaver]

@longboarders1 cyan_john on ebay

[JoergSprave]

@longboarders1 Contact address is in the video, towards the end.

[longboarders1]

@JoergSprave no i can't buy it there.

but thanks

[JoergSprave]

@longboarders1 Have you emailed John?

[TriopsUKnorth]

@longboarders1

He sells them on Ebay.

[we66y357]

@longboarders1 hi this is 'gamekeeper johns dad' you can contact him direct on webby1986@live.com concerning the slingshot you require - and mention you saw this on you tube-regards

[dagreateli]

@longboarders Why do you call some of them slingshots and some catapults?

[longboarders1]

@dagreateli hu?

[dagreateli]

@longboarders1 i ment to commet to joerg

[gtg356y]

when people make stupid comments, Joerg always has the best comebacks. This is the only place on Youtube where the comments section is entertaining.

[bicmac333]

Hey, cool neue Tapeten...!?

[MrToshTogo]

Joerg: I have a challenge for you. Do they have sling rides in Germany such as we have in the US where one is the (strapped-in) ammo of a giant industrial sized sling? I think it would be super fantastic to see a video of you being launched in a sling-shot! Uhhh, as big as you are, we might have to look hard and long to find one that can launch you. Please give it some thought..... :) Excellant web site design!

[That604Dude]

Joerg, thank you for offering the chance to win one of your beautiful slingshots "COUGAR"! I am going to design and build my own using tips and tricks from your channel. Maybe I'll upload my final product and show you, and one day maybe you'll be reviewing one of MY slingshots LOL. Thanks and bye bye!

[Loki95531]

Nice new background on your channel page. It would not let me leave this comment there for some reason so I will leave it here. Awesome channel. I also like all the different style sling shots you build. I have a crossman wrist rocket That I am decently accurate with. I think I want to make one like the more simple ones you make.

[MrToshTogo]

I have kept for some time a home-made slingshot very similar to the 'Falcon' on a hook by the back door. It is reliable and powerful enough for me. However, this 'Falcon' looks a lot better than mine. :) I carry mine in the back yard sticking out the back pocket of my jeans just like I learned from 'Dennis, the Menace'. I have discouraged pests with it out to about 25 yds.  Solid design.

[mrdanisthename]

When I saw "Win a Slingshot," my first thought was could it be? Joerg is giving away a grenade shooting slingshot, a fire shooting slingshot, or even a chuck norris action figure shooting slingshot. I was very excited. Then I saw this beast and I nearly poohed myself. Thanks for your videos joerg, I am thoroughly entertained by each one

[kidri0t]

Very nice!

[jazerazo]

3:34 I thought he was going to let the device go and crush against the clamp XD

[bamify777]

@joergsprave. Uhhh... .. What should i say against that?... 1) how am i supposed to know that stuff 2) was that à joke? Or .... 3) it could happen, If you just do à high five whille pulling that band :XD ]And it was just à joke[. And btw; i like ur vids, you can do great things :'S

[iAlex1337]

3:15

Lol

[bamify777]

-.- and what if you can't pull it that strong? and you bought it :S then you will try to pull, and ur other hand will lose grip and then pats! the wooden part flies to your head ;S }Awfull{

[JoergSprave]

@bamify777 And what if you slip crossing a street, and the car driver doesn't see you? You'd be run over. Ouch! I think it is best for you to never leave your home. Eat with spoons and drink from plastic bottles only:)

Seriously, such accidents never happen, and for the less strong shooters there are weaker bands.

[Tux3d0]

which slingshot is best for shooting for someone who generally shoots Hammer Grip style out of these three?

[JoergSprave]

@Tux3d0 I don't recommend these products for hammer grip shooting.

[Tux3d0]

@JoergSprave Yes I know that, but what if i were to transition to fork shooting with these?

[Roadkilla9]

omg!!! his band draw thingie has a happy face :)

[Lyaksandra]

Where exactly can the catapults be bought?

[roko0yama]

...please, can you give me a measures of  pocket poucher slingshot?

[R4NG3NO0OB]

i 'm always excited when your video's apear in the sub box :D!!!

[darkmaster071]

id love to buy one and play with it a bit, but i wouldent know what to shoot with it.

[JoergSprave]

@darkmaster071 Rocks. Pebbles. Marbles. Hex nuts. Steel balls. Lead balls. Slingshots aren't picky when it comes down to ammo.

[iTZzArJuN]

@JoergSprave yo, i dont think rocks are very good ammo, i lost my steel ball so started using rocks, they tor my bands :(

[JoergSprave]

@iTZzArJuN Well, find halfway round ones. Up to 20 yards they shoot fine.

[Naekeed]

great job

[philmcd831]

Joerg I'm right handed but for some reason hold my catapult in my right and pull back with my left will this effect my aim

[JoergSprave]

@philmcd831 Not necessarily, no. Whatever you feel is more comfortable. When I try changing my shooting hand, terrible things happen.

[death4hiro]

Dang, i love your creations

[TheFinalAdvent]

If I was good with video editing, I'll make this guy an extremely cool intro for his video. Damn, somebody make him an intro!

[grewgrewgrewgrew]

I like slingshots.

[chapaco69]

Sneaky cat at 4:51..

[BettyBobandFriends]

i want one that was awesome

[philmcd831]

Sorry for wrong spelling of your name there joerg

[philmcd831]

Jorge are your slings more powerful than the gamekeeper catapult I'm thinking of buying one I have a milbro fitted with double theraband gold at the moment

[JoergSprave]

@philmcd831 Some of my strongest slingshots have much more powerful bands on them. but then again I am a strong guy with lots of practice. The power bands also require very heavy ammo. Gamekeeper's bands are as strong as it makes sense for a commercial product.

[Roadkilla9]

@JoergSprave its such a shame about your circular saw video :/ i really wanted to see it as well but it wouldnt let me because im not 18. oh well. keep up the good work anyway joerg!

[JoergSprave]

@Roadkilla9 At least you are one of the few hard to find honest youngsters on youtube. It seems to me that 99% of all underage teens have a yt account that allows them to see everything.

[DeathlyDavid]

Nice!

[articulatedcomics]

Awesome slings for the price!

[yodudeitskid22]

dude you are so awesome

[sweetypie000]

you make great videos and kit and gamekeepers cats are nice

[MrTechGuy1995]

We all hate youtube, you should be a youtube partner!

[EGfootballer007]

what if you could make slingshots that were specifically designed for airsoft pellets so you can use them in a game!

[lZeaDl]

your awesome

[Zenebar28]

Who records your videos?

[Barry4125]

@Zenebar28 his wife i think

[thefabianmunoz]

This will be perfect for those damn rabbits that keep eating my flowers.

[TheStickBow1]

Thanks for doing this performance review. Just for a personal experience note to anyone interested, on the business side of things I ordered from John last week and he is very professional man to communicate and do business with. Greg

[philippelaudinat]

Incredible stuff ^^ i love it

probably one of the best channel on youtube

Hello from Paris ;

[AdmiralZhao007]

well thats just youtube's loss if they dont partner up with you

keep it up brother!

[MrMikeashly]

youtube is bullshit if you can't become a partner

[iamLuco]

are you a youtube partner ???

[JoergSprave]

@iamLuco No... they say my vids are "not family friendly". Well, fpsrussia is a partner, obviously he is more friendly than I am. My sawblade video now has an age limit, can you believe? This must be the only age limited video with NO sex, swearing, and brutality.

[tbrowniscool]

@JoergSprave

that is fery unfair. your are a brilliant designer and fabricator of clever weaponary. all fps russia is doing is trying to get the Callofduty kids to subscribe.

Joerg is the KING

[Barry4125]

@JoergSprave i no its so stupid its just haters being stupid and flaging them they do it all the time they are idiots it means only kids with youtube acounts can wach them nice vid by the way keep it up

[Schindlabua]

@JoergSprave Seriously? That sure shows how selective those guys are..

[pyrea17]

@Schindlabua selective isn't even the right word... more like discriminatory.

[anyonefindAMERICA1]

@JoergSprave I thought that was strange. Thanks for posting your obsession. I mean hobby. LOL

[That604Dude]

@JoergSprave what they call "not family friendly", I call educational. YOUTUBE WHY YOU HATIN !?! Cheers Joerg.

[Brokoro]

@JoergSprave That doesn't make any sense and is completely unfair. Your videos include some math, some basic mechanical physics, sometimes your cat in the background, you have 19k subs, great scenery and probably the nicest outro in all of YouTube.

I'll be writing a letter to YT to complain at the inequality especially since they'll partner people who cuss on their videos and make grotesque skits, yet your educational videos are being turned down!!!

[pyrea17]

@JoergSprave wow that's dumb! Fps russia is the kind of channel that would be rated as restricted (not that I don't like him), and all you do is make awesome weapons and contraptions (I have not heard you swear once), your videos are some of the best on youtube, they show amazing ingenuity and thoughtfulness, as well as safety sence (usually) I might say, and they deny you partnership? You should reapply, your audience obviously doesn't find any of your vids offensive! Look at the likes!

[JoergSprave]

@pyrea17 Reapplied two times already, same answer.

[Goldiney]

@JoergSprave That is just crazy ... some immature, 21 year-old intern must have made that decision. You seem to be one of the most geniune, friendly, and honest people I've ever seen on YouTube. The FIRST time I saw one of your videos I subscribed. You have a loyal fan here.

[EpicHawk]

@JoergSprave agreed!

[EpicHawk]

Love your videos man. Keep it up. btw I signed up at the forum.

[05you2]

How much do the lead shots cost? Also, do you retrieve and reuse them?

[JoergSprave]

@05you2 Yes, I reuse it a lot. Made myself a catch box, from steel, which I have to hammer back into shape once a month or so. If the lead is dented too much, I melt it and re-cast.

[bachterman]

unintentional background cat

[MrWillwalker]

Oldmansballbag is the funniest youtube name I have ever heard.

[benrocks58]

Hey Joerg when i start making my poacher catapult range will you do a review for me? Thanks.

[JoergSprave]

@benrocks58 If your product is good, yes, with pleasure. I only test frames that I believe in. Present your designs on the forum, then we will see.

[Goliath1886]

That scale is so happy!

[lockpicks08]

gr8 review thanks - think i might just have to sign up

[meroxyersox]

The way you say 'pocket rocket'. AAAH good god I love you German types :D

[Bigdogsv150]

I want one!~!!!!!

[zohaib029]

I would absolubyly love to win one coz ive never owned one. :)

[bartman464]

[we66y357]

[CrystalTVmakeup]

moi et mon mari adorons vos vidéos

[TriopsUKnorth]

I have never used slingshots before to hunt, yesterday i thought i would buy one and after many hours of reading and looking on sites i can across these gamekeeper and bought myself a nice one from ebay. Hope it arrives tomorrow, looks very powerful.

[wanderinggibbon]

[james13914]

[Duckyz117]

I am so happy i subscribed

1st thing my friend said when he saw one of your videos

"its a crazy German with rubber and a workshop.... GENIUS!"

Keep it up

[q1qeu]

@Duckyz117 haha exactly what I was telling my friends after discovering this channel.

[Duckyz117]

@q1qeu

Be sure it doesn't come out the wrong way

It sounds incredibly wrong if you say it like that

[q1qeu]

@Duckyz117 heh, and I could barely avoid to use the word "freak" ;-)

[Jesses001]

Those are some very decent prices for what looks to be a good little sling shot. Thanks for sharing with us.

[Armstrong202]

very cool

[versatilechicken]

Hey Joerg, i read your post on the forums that you were gonna finish a cannon that fire three kilogram steel balls?

[JoergSprave]

@versatilechicken Yes, I have done all the planning. But I haven't found a location for making it, this will be as big as a car.

[Ronald1113wookie]

1st! :P
