Power meets Beauty - Gorgeous New Design, + WIN A SLINGSHOT

[vprinceii]

Hello Mr. Sprave. How about making a really big slingshot that shoot something like a shockput ball or even a bowling ball and see what kind of distance you can get.

[superfag1011]

@vprinceii lol, he already did.

[sjuas690]

Sehr schöne Arbeit.

Very nice work.

[sigurdeyd]

Hey, Joerg sprave My name is sigurd and im 12 years old i`m very interested in Slingshots can you make a video of " Have you make a pro Slingshots"

Thanks!!!!!!!!

[chris12345678910111]

Joerg could you make a video of different methods of tying flat bands to pouch and slingshots

[ChristyTV]

Beautiful! You need to open a shop!!!

[jdbeekeeper]

i would like to maybe do some sort of hunting sling shot and maybe a survival kit in the handle and diff some more exotic one please thank you .

[MegaVomito]

... Joerg, how has your new sniper slingshot ???

[jeckyl321]

Hallo jörg,

jedesmal wenn ich auf deinem Channel ein neues Video sehe möcht ich am liebsten in den Wald fahren, mir eine Astgabel suchen und ein Thera band daran knoten. Am besten finde ich ausgefallene wie die Finger-Zwille oder das Teil mit dem man Pfeile abschiessen kann. Daß Du auch noch Messersammler bist wusste ich erst durch das tacticalforum, wo ich mich auch gleich eingeschrieben habe. Da könntest Du auch ruhig mal ein Video zwischendurch machen.

Wünsche Gesunde Augen

Jörg ( Jeckyl321 )

[2009IanP]

another informative video Joerg nothing wrong here matey :)

what else could you be doing to help/entertain the community ? i have no idea ! :)

[CatBear100]

Sorry, something went wrong - I mean the double posts!

[CatBear100]

Hallo Joerg,

finde Deine Videos immer wieder sehr interessant und informativ. Deine neueste Kreation gefällt mir sehr gut, wirkt einerseits sehr schlicht, ist dabei aber offensichtlich sehr effektiv und dazu noch richtig edel - diese Kombination von Stahl und schönen Hölzern finde ich prima! Diese Richtung würde ich weiterverfolgen. Darüber hinaus würde mich präzises Schießen auf große Distanzen ( 20 - 30m) interessieren. Power ist ja ne feine Sache, aber knapp daneben ist eben auch vorbei.

[MattesLundquist]

Danke für Deine Videos, Jörg. Ich hab schon einiges daraus gelernt und beim Bau meiner eigenen slingshot umgesetzt:)))

[BobWRP]

Sorry for the repeat posts. I would blame it on you-tube.

[BobWRP]

Joerg is that a tree you are shooting against? I would like to see a video on what you use for back stops. I have seen you use a couple different versions of catch boxes and would love to see you talk about what you like!

[keilleysdad]

These are not old! It is great to see in use! Keep it up!

[entomophile]

Very nice slingshot. I would love to see some videos on the accuracy of your different designs. What general slingshot types are most accurate for you?

[BobWRP]

Joerg is that a tree you are shooting those shots into? I would love to see a video about various catch-boxes you can use.  I have noticed you use a couple different things? It is always fun to not only see you shoot, but what t-shirt you are wearing LOL!

[EJILITY]

I love your videos and I really enjoy slingshots. I have a few from a sporting goods store but not a serious one like you have here. I enjoy using lighter balls that are 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch so mabye more videos on that. Also I would really like a video with uptated drawing techniques and different styles of shooting. Keep up the great work

[arisingartist]

I don't think you should change anything in what you do now, you have enough variation.

although there's one thing i'd like to know, maybe you could do a video about it.

I'm interested what the accuracy of a laptop made chrony is(you know where you place the laptop in the middle and measure the shot and impact sound) against a real chrony.

[stonybrokebushcraf]

love your vids but could you do more slow motion ones. and some at targets at a distance to show what kind of damage can be done if thats at all possible at different objects .

[RobertR2007]

Hey Jörg,

well, I think you should make more slingshots with wood and steel like this one. You are able to combine both materials very well, so make something out of it! ;)

But what I'd suggest is to make small (you made some very big ones, I don't like them so much) but still very powerfull slingshots. I think thats the art to combine both properties.

And, as I always say, more high-speed videos, please!

Greets,

Robert

[zem36]

how do you fund your slingshot building project do you fund your self or do you win contests ?

[mach352]

i want to see more sling shots like the carbon fiber one that fit rite in your pocket. mabby a hinged carbon fiber one that folds were the fork meets the handle. to make it even smaller.

[itt001]

Hi Joerg. Great vid as always. I like that you incorporate some wood into your design. I like to see more video on wooden slingshot. I think they are beautiful, lightweight and easier to work with than steel for people who do not have access to metal working tools. I like to see how compact wooden slingshot can get without compromising in strength and ergonomic as well as some tips on making them.

Also, can you enter me in the drawing for the cougar. thanks

[hd0642]

thanks for all your informative videos, i am interested in high velocity slingshots. i would also like to see some hunting capabilities of some of your slingshots. they would be very usefull tools for survival, everone needs a good strong slingshot in their survival/bug out bag.

[crimsonsledgehammer]

Very interesting results when the bands were doubled. I would have expected some increase in velocity...but i guess there must be a maximum rate at which an elasic deformed material returns to it's original shape. What is the maximum velocity you have reached using thera-band?

Keep up the great videos!

I love the slow motion carnage!

[johnnyb68]

Your videos are always great to watch. Thank you for sharing and please keep on creating and posting. I think I would like for you to post a video about different types of ammo i.e. rocks, metal balls, marbles (or glass) balls, and anything else that will fit and be practical for shooting. One of the best things about slingshots to me is the versatility of ammo. I would like to see that really explored more.

[juliusjonzon]

Wie immer einen sehr schöne Schleuder! Ich möchte gern mehrer verschieden Material sehen! Holz und Stahl is SEHR schön zusammen, aber vielleicht kan man auch mit anderer Material arbeiten? Aber Schönheit sollte einen Ziel sein finde ich! Gut getan!

Julius

[klim00100]

Very much, very well! You the expert!

[dealtoyo]

I do a lot of backpacking and I am very intrested in seeing light weight slingshots like your carbon fiber model as well as some type of slingshot that will break down so it will be very compact so it won't take up much room in my pack. Thanks and have a nice day.

[Flokib]

Hi,its interrestning to see that the 10mm Ball have the same Speed with the bigger Bands.But how is it when u taper the big Bands more.Not 6cm o.t. Fork and 4 cm o.t. Pouch,maybe 8cm o.t. Fork and 2 cm on the Pouch.Would the small Ball be faster than?

[54mz3]

Hi Joerg, thanks for the videos that completely distract me from work!! :)  Anyhow. I'd actually like to see three things, I guess: (1) more work/demonstrations on precision shooting, (2) experimenting with alternative, everyday materials (e.g. car tube/ soccer ball rubbers), and (3) some more 'classical' type but beautiful slingshots (such as the 'cougar', for which I'd like being considered). More inspiration some other time, keep up the good work, and best of luck, these days from Paris!

[fedchairboy]

I like the creative aspects you bring to slingshots and would like to see that continued for sure. In addition, demos of other slingshots made by others is interesting. So the bottom line is bring on the variety!!

[jtimmis]

great vids! i would likt to see your sling shots vs some wristrockets. which is faster and more effective. thanks!

[navenjohnson1]

Your channel is truly one of my favorite's. I think it's refreshing to see someone who's dedicated and true to their craft. The time you spend designing, testing and shooting your video's is impressive. I think your slingshots are among the best, very inspiring and interesting. In the futrure, I would like to see more metal type, welded slingshots like your gatlin- type slingshot. I would also like to see more testing with the gelatin material or maybe shooting at watermellons.

[parnama]

im so exited and look every day on your channel for new videos :P awesome enginering. i think it whuld be kinda awesome if you whuld go more serius into alternative materials like Carbon fiber , or maby combine carbon fiber whit exotic wood, whuld make a Lightweigt beauty for a real gentleman.

[wanderinggibbon]

@parnama That's a good idea.

[EDCDepot]

As usual great video. I would love to see more "how to" build slingshot video.  Keep up the great work.

[clarkey765]

sorry joerg ur vid are gettin old try somethin new

[JoergSprave]

Well, do you have any input then? What would you like to see?

[krnshorty47]

@JoergSprave

ur heaps good but do u ever

enter any competitions ?

or is there anything like that?

[LowDetailGaming]

@JoergSprave I would like to see how you design and make some of these slingshots.

[littlebro05]

@clarkey765 They're always good mate. It's always look nice and shoot good.

[fordrac1ng81]

I would like to see more powerful slingshots as many have said. I like when you come up with crazy designs just to see if they'll work and many that don't work are just as cool as the ones that do. Just keep that mind working on new things! You have successfully made slingshots relevant again in the mainstream!

[marbles112]

i wont you to do strong slingshots plees

[baconman9]

this one is one of the most nice because hes simple

[mrlukeusmaximus]

jeorg , i remember such cool slingshots that you did in the past such as 'the ring' ,'the baby hook slingshot' and the 'fish hunter ergo 2 - carbon fiber vertion.' so i would like to suggest that you make more compact/smaller/pocket friendly slingshots . i would also like to see some sort of ammo poutch for when walking around areas.

(would you plz enter this for the 'win a couger 'compitition)

[MyPhotog]

Mr. Sprave: One of the things missing from youtube is a step by step process of how to better use a slingshot. A tutorial on aiming, what to practice and how to practice would be very valuable to new shooters like my son and to new comers who are new to slingshots. Additional topics could be types of targets and or kit that can be made so that when practicing you lose less ammunition.

[dogmax1]

Very interesting Joerg, just getting into all this, got a Fish hunter, based on your review, awesome bit of kit, and a standard Black Widow, must try flat bands on the Widow, have you done this? any chance of a short video showing exactly how to attach, and a comparison with tubes? Cheers

[carpus79]

I would like to see a "how it's built" type of video. A video showing the steps you go through from raw metal stock to finished product. Thank you for your videos, they are very interesting and show how thinking "outside the box" is the way to the betterment of many things.

[ymmit1988]

You are my German Jesus Jorg! Can you make a really sleek, stylish, ultra modern slingshot or maybe a futuristic design, a glimpse of slingshots to come.

[spenfisher2]

i want to see how slow the 19mm lead is

[SelectiveApathy]

I'm liking the wooden handles. Some more powerful steel ones with the nice wooden touches for me.

[wanderinggibbon]

Fascinating stuff about the bands Jorg, I've been shooting a lot of smaller ammo recently and I've been thinking about what bands to give my niece, this video has answered any questions I might have had for you, before I got to ask them. What would we do without you?

[ryanrichardruff]

I definitely enjoy the more artistic slingshots, they remind me of the show-rifles with all the silver filigree designs.

[Hustyburg]

Jorg, I think all your videos are great and you have focused on alot of different topics but , not too much on Presion Sniper/Target or you may say Accurized slingshots.Could you please do some research / experimenting in that area( if you can't hit what your aiming at, you don't win the prize or in some cases Dinner ! Would you also enter me in the drawing for your " Cougar" please.Thanks -Scott

[iCONICAACINOCi]

Please create more demonstrations of slingshot destruction, impacts and distance targeting. :D

[facatube]

lovely slingshot looks like luxury one with the use of woods and polished metal ;-)

[NoSugarRob]

Very good looking slingshot.. blog pics do it way more justice. You could Possibly show us a bit more of the production process.... i'd find that interesting.... or some blooper vids..... not that i'm suggesting you've ever cocked it up mind !!

[davross600]

dear Joerg, I always look forward to the new ideas for technical slingshots you come up with, coming up with new ideas must get hard after a while, maybe you could concentrate on releasing videos in seasons, like have a season on exotic sling shots, then have one on futuristic etc.

I think a great idea for a slingshot would be a composite one with a polished stone handle with timber forks, i think that would look excellent, with an opportunity to make money, peace and good luck

[slingshotdude]

very intresting! 4 your futur videos, i think ,best thing is a few slingshots with a few pretty girls!

[BigBullX]

Hey Joerg! id like to see a slingshot that could fire burning balls ;)

[zac444452]

Fuck thats good

[mjw789234]

You should make a semi auto slingshot gun with a barrel and a hopper so when u pull it bak it loads then fires

[iCONICAACINOCi]

@mjw789234 He's done that, view his other vids.

[federicoanaya]

Very nice Joerg! One more Masterpiece!

I wonder if you allready have tried to make a slingshot with stone...?!

...

Respect.

++

[bulldog51]

Hey there Joerg, personally i like what you already did with your past designs. I am more of a fan of steel frames on slingshots even though wood frames look quite nice. I think that you should go and "re vamp" the freddy crugar slingshot to make it more glove-like. Although i really do love the cougar design. I have high hope to win one. The slingshot i currently have is a cheap store bought one with a hollow handle and very thin steel forks..it makes funny noises when i pull back the bands XD

[iKiwiMetalHead]

I also think it might be nice if you focused on building more elegant slingshot, rather than powerful ones for a change maybe...using perhaps mahogany with steel painted a glossy black, something like I think, could look good =)

[iKiwiMetalHead]

Last week I got suspended from school from bringing a slingshot into school with some marbles in my bag..my friend also had his slignshot with him and he accidentaly hit a teacher in the head with one of my marbles...I don't know how he mangaed to hit her because he fired through the trees..anyway, beautiful slingshot, very elegant, nice. =)
