I bought a sling and some second hand golf balls and joined the local archery club so I could use their range for practice. It surprised the hell out of how many or the young kids at the club would line up asking to be shown how to use it

Refreshing my memory on the sheperd sling, going to make myself and my son one. I always preferred the helicopter method also but liked practicing other throwing styles to at least be familiar with the feel. For a person who becomes proficient with the sheperds sling it is a deadly weapon that cost nothing to make or is inexpensive to buy, its lightweight and ammunition can be gathered as a guy hikes. Thanks for the video, as always i enjoy your take on these things. Take care

I am new about this new tool. The road of home made sling shoots, lead me to the Shepard's sling. I made a leather split pocket and leather strings... Boy the first week everybody was running for cover... One month down the road I just love it. I live in a town called Dahab, South Sinai, Red Sea Egypt. All my stones are granite stones tumbled with the waves Thanks for your video..

Rome used slingers as part of the auxiliary in their legions they would cast lead bullets to use. and also used staff slings (i used 1 before alot of fun). they were very lightly armed and had no armor. but they were very effective.

If you're buying shepherd slings, you should be making them aswell. It's cheap and easy to do. Parachord is 5 dollars for 200 feet. You can make upward of a dozen of them with 1 roll of 550. I've made a few, and they work fantastic. Keep it simple and learn how to be fully self-sufficient with your weapon.

I made a couple of slings a few months ago and gave one a try out behind the auto shop at work and I found myself kinda stuck when I was spinning it over my head, LOL I was afraid to let it go because I wasn’t sure it would go where I wanted it to. Lots of open field in front of me but the shop and a tractor were behind me and to the right. I need to find a place where there’s nothing to worry about. Thanks for the video.

Agreed, the history is fascinating stuff. Example a lead Roman sling stone was found in the UK. Think a small lead chicken egg in shape and size. The soldier who used it and presumably made it scratched into the surface "A sugarplum for you!" Essentially "A gift! But you won't like it", grim soldiers humor. A staff sling is easier to use because you rely on the cord slipping off of the end instead of timing your release of the cord. They can also toss heavier ammo because you're effectively adding four feet of arm via the stick. I'd hazard a guess that they are less accurate because you lack control of the release. Still, I'm surprised there's no record of them in warfare. You could get a few hundred people throwing in the right direction with an afternoon of practice. With the ability to throw fist sized rocks in volleys and the practically free nature of it, you'd think they would have seen more use.

@@411Outdoors I always get the spelling wrong, but the Beleric slingers were the guys that impressed the Romans with their slinging and became Roman mercenaries for centuries after. They come from a small island in the Mediterranean, off the Spanish coast if I remember correctly and practice it to this day. You can find competitions on KZread. The story goes that the islanders were literally naked herders when the Romans first landed on their island. They wove their slings from tall grass found all over the island and could field impressive numbers when under attack. The Romans realized pretty quickly that they would rather have them as allies than enemies.

I believe that any biconical piece of stone, ceramic or heavy metal can achieve the gargantuan distance of 550 meters. Sling ammo doesn't necessarily have to be made of tungsten carbide, depleted uranium or lead to achieve firing range comparable to a bow.
