Great to see the youngsters coming through, that’s what it’s all about, keeping it alive and passing it on. Huge respect to all
A Great rewarding sound that... knocking them targets down....but totally silent when you miss. Hope the sport grows more in popularity over next few years.
The sport and events now held are night and day to these early shoots. The standard of shooter has come on so much too. Happy to say the sport is evolving rapidly!!!!!! And it would be great to see coverage from you guys at more shoots
Shoutout to the dad in the background who played soccer with his boy the entire video.

Jack Davies just taught me something with that magnetic necklace. I've been attaching one to my slingshot but it makes it a bit awkward because it throws the weight off
I liked your video, here in the US we call them slingshots, I make my own out of small forked tree branches and leave the bark on them, I like the rustic look. I'm 55 year's old and I still have some slingshots that I made when I was 10 years old. Keep up the good work.

tbh in the UK we call them slingshots as well, a catapult is a massive ballistic weapon, don't know why these lot call them catapults.
Wish we had this shoot still. Amazing place to shoot at. Bassaleg and the community Hall the best place but it's not really big now the sports gotten a higher following and more people coming to have ago at putting their name in the history books.
Great Video. Very good explanation on the PFS.
Muito bom. Saudações aqui do Brasil
Fantastic video!! :)
Great video as always👌
Brilliant video, some good shooting aswell

hey just wondering about strap breakage? probly better off having glasses on shooting? seems everything eye level? i guess it doesnt matter when you get good and instinct shoot from the hip :)
very good I like it, I'm learning to make a slingshot that fits and it's good, thank you, I'm from Indonesia, just learning about catapults
Some decent shots in that hall
I really like this sports since i was a kid. Until now im already 71 yrs old.
What a great sport to have a bunch of people sitting around a gym plinking targets with catapults! These are high-end but a good reminder of low tech fun that anyone can start out with for very little investment.
Great to see all those women interested in this fabulous hobby ...
I have been inspired by watching this video in being a catapult shooter.

good video i am from the philippines and we call that tirador when i was young we use that to hunt bird . that we made it ourself .im retired but still have one of those i also made it myself along with my gun for sport shooting.
Very cool greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I got a Wrist Rocket when I was a kid and it was so fun.
When we were kids we used to pinch the V shaped springs from under our beds, Get elastics off the postman and cut the tongues out of our shoes for the leather. Our ammo was iron ore balls off the railway lines. Very accurate and loads of fun. (until the police came knocking on your mams door).

Amazing. They must have nerves of steel, to participate in that competitive vaping event while people are shooting catapults all around them.
Haha, I grew up shooting my slingshots gangster style. in the winter it is too cold to use the slingshots but I am looking forward to the summer where I will be after some rabbits. I want to make a thumb and forefinger support slingshot with flat bands. I am having trouble deciding the best shape for myself but I believe this video just showed me!! :)

Brandon Alan where I am yes. Depending on how cold it gets you can still shoot but its harder on the bands. When its minus forty it will literally freeze the band and snap it.

One you guys should design a a pez despenser style wrist rocket with a magnetic ballbearing grabber on the leather strap to grab the internal ammo in the handle one at a time after dispensing...or revolver design
Good on yar Nipper!
Come to Makassar, capital city of South Sulawesi, youth here developed catapult to be more dangerous weapon for street gangster skirmish, the small metal bullet ball change with 8 to 10 cm sharp metal arrow, cling to the catapult band, this arrow will target enemy body that in some occasion resulted death.

Kevin Wright wrist rocket's are fun to start, but aren't that good of slings. I'll never go back to a wrist rocket. Go invest in a rotary cutter, cutting pad, tbg rubber, and buy/make a midsized frame similar to what you see in this clip. It'll put a wrist rocket to shame (easier to draw, aim, much faster, concealable etc). Once you make the initial $30 investment you can make allot of bands and sling shot frames to figure out what you like. I recommend "simple shots" lower end slings as an off the shelf decent slingshot with everything fairly dialed in for Target shooting (but bands can be setup for hunting too). Archery and slingshots are allot of fun (I own allot of guns but they don't get used nearly as much now I've gotten into slingshots).

As a 47 year old women, I’ve just received my delivery of a catapult but no 1000 clay/200 steel balls arrived yet. Had three attempts with round stones, oh my I surprised myself, off to village shop to buy some round mints... Not many women in this sport, any tips guys? Just spoken to my friend who owns a pest business and uses one himself, so going to have a lesson with him, he the one who said go and buy some imperial mints 😂
7:12 for some reason i have a minds eye view of this guy learning to shoot in prison lol
