Growing up, I was always drawn to the sling shot. Especially after playing The Legend of Zelda ocarina of time. I was and still am the weird kid who had an interest for the wilderness, but lived more in a town than anything. Me messing around, finally embracing that call, and watching your videos helped me realize. There's other cool weirdos out there like me lol thank you Zach.

Fowler: I hate that my arrows always get busted. Also Fowler: Uses arrows to hold up ping pong balls as targets for slingshot.

Bring 6 broad head arrows as their use requires that type of arrowhead and longer range accuracy. The fishing arrows are for only a few feet away and make these, and their arrowheads, from materials you find in the field. Paint your arrows in colors that make them stand out and are easier to find when you miss your target.

Dave Canterbury has a video series where he makes a DIY slingshot/slingbow combo...I duplicated his design and love it!

Livin for the outdoors. Its cool you found your thing so early in life! I can’t wait to see if this all stars thing happens!

Here’s an idea; build a “compound slingshot”. 7x regular velocity.

I'm going to bring a bunch of body grip traps, leg holds, a gun and a bunch of ammo. Sure win!

Love all the stuff he comes up with. Shelters are always cool too. Nice thing about the slingshot is that its compact and dosent weigh much to hike with.

Another good thing about a decent sized shelter is that you can store enough materials in it to be able to work inside when the weather is bad, making cordage, matting, tinder, etc.

Slingbow, hands down are amazingly accurate, take up less space through brush, pack and can even carried in your pocket while you’re doing other tasks. Great job in all you’ve done ✅

Man, I'm so excited and nervous to see that new season! Nervous cuz I know the people going out there KNOW what they're doing and how to last longer. And I feel like they might not pay attention to their bodies as much as they should. But excited cuz a bunch of people from past seasons will be in the same season! 😬

What a weekend we had at the East Coast Slingshot Tournament in beautiful Alverton, Pa hosted by East Huntingdon Sportsmens Association! So glad I got to meet you and Chris. Looking forward to next year's tourney.

Slingbow. Absolutely. With the modifications you're considering, it'll give you versatility to get any food. Keep having fun daily, I think that was a key to success for you because it kept you mentally strong! Recommend: Upgrading to the Metal E-Tool because it is more durable than the SF Shovel. You can sharpen the E-Tool to match the SF Shovel. It is a stronger lever for prying logs and rocks, the SF Shovel will break first. The different head angles allows you to dig a more vertical hole for traps, Use as a climbing axe, and useable as a hook for retrieving something or as a grappling hook. Yes the SF Shovel is an impressive thrower, but now you'll have more fun with the Slingbow. Recommend : Modifying your Multi-Tool with another capability you didn't have out there...another File, a Backup Fire Steel? Just a couple of perspectives from a retired Army guy and a fan of what you accomplished. You'll do great when the All-Stars come back!

Didn’t know these existed, so cool. I definitely want one now.

Great to see your enthusiasm and your range of skills! Plenty of us will be 'pulling for you' in the 'All-Stars' season, when that happens! For now, nothing could beat your re-cap of the 87 days. THAT is an inspired idea: all the substance and none of the 'Hollywood Drama' the 'straight' TV guys want to sell us.

I just subscribed to your channel and if I would have to say that you are the best KZreadr there is. You constantly having to go through the grind ever day doing the things I would love to do. I am sure you love doing these things and I love watching you do them, just like when I finished watching you do your 30 day challenge video. You have a great personality and make funny jokes, I honestly don’t know how a video could be better. I love watching you man and you are a great inspiration. Thank you for every video you’ve made for us. I might only be 15 at the moment but I think you have made me look forward to a great future.

Love that hammer, can’t believe how accurate it is in arrow mode, I do prefer the release, never thought I’d say that due to being a primitive archer but it really helps

Man i love this channel THE BEST

The arrows are your art mate, no wonder you feel weird shooting them! Precious, they are! You've got me into the slingshot, it's on my shopping list! Wanted to use one since i was a kid growing up watching ol' Bart [Simpson]! Keep kickin assh dude! :D

You can do a rubber wrap or a cordage wrap glued on right in front of the nock, that will allow you to shoot the arrows from the pouch, without losing the ability to be fired from a bow.

I may be too late, Fowler... but you can drill out the nocks and glue in a golf tee... plenty of grip through a fine leather pouch. Good luck!

A canoe is a MUST BUILD on the next season, dugout or bark doesn’t matter just as long as it works. Just sit on it...

Yeah I never watched Alone yet. I didnt know Zach won Alone for a while. Im a fairly new subscriber.

Sir I love you channel. I have shot a sling bow before it had a name. To shoot an arrow out of a sling shot glue an gold tee in a carbon arrow it centers very well and a whisker biscuit can be used on a wrist rocket and it shoots very well and if you need to shoot a rock just pull the whisker biscuit out of the way. I am sure it has enough power to take deer size pray. Maybe bigger. Good luck.

A home would make it easier. I spent three weeks shy of a year in the wilderness with twelve pound of gear, plus what was on my belt and in my pockets, and all I had for cover was a pair of G.I. ponchos. I couldn't build any type of real shelter because I was traveling almost constantly between four states, but I sure missed having something like that more than once. Fortunately, I didn't have to hit anything with a slingshot because I did have a rifle. Next time I did anything like that I built a small cabin, about fifteen by twelve, with a fireplace, immediately. I didn't get back to it as often as I wished, but when I was able to get back, it felt like a mansion. I added a second room later, and then it really felt huge. My experience is that the best way to stay anywhere for a long, long time is to love every second you're there. Anything that helps you love it is a big plus. Just me, but I'll take a bow, and you can have the slingshots and sling bows.

I like to use foam board, packing tape across the Whole back, and drawn on targets. Usually helps me collect my ammo and recycle the good ones. (I use marbles most the time... they sometimes chip/shatter. Still they’re cheaper to learn with)

Awesome videos! Very sympathetic dude. Keep up the good content

Golf tees in the back of the arrows. That's what someone said in a comment on another video I saw about these sling bows. So, very much like what you drew there really and yes, you can just shoot it from the same pocket, no changing anything. He said they are very accurate and it doesn't affect the arrows negatively at all.

Holy crap! I’ve just noticed the tat on your right forearm. I’ve got a Celtic cross on my left forearm in the exact same location! You’ve got style bro.!

I'm a proud owner of the hammer slingshot- part of my EDC, cannot go wrong with it.

Awesome idea! Best of both. Don't forget that if you shoot fish with an arrow and a string attached, that you tie the string to the nock end. Otherwise the arrow will cartwheel.

I think the slingshot idea is awesome with the arrows man. Awesome set up. Hopefully there's some grouse or rabbits or something to shoot at. If not, well like you said fish are shootable. If you spot some pike laying in the sun or other types of fish you can get them. Cheers.

Dude..... dude..... Listen to me.... Please. A slingshot is not what you need to get food and win. Really not trust me. You can get something much smaller that doesn't weight much and it'll get ya all the food you need. It's called an Amazon's account. I know.... I know... You're going to say that you need something to be able to go on the net and cel phones, laptops, etc are not allowed. But remember one thing... That famous jacket you hacked and they allowed it. So do the same again... An Amazon account and an embedded cel phone in a jacket. BTW, I'll take 15% of your winnings as consultant fees. Thanks :)

Take the Slingshot/Arrow Shooter you tested in this video that thing was totally awesome! Can’t wait to see you on the All Star Season of Alone if you go on it Mr Fowler!!!!!

try the RS-x7 doomsday slingshot crossbow

Oh, look at that. A way to smuggle ball bearrings onto Alone without it causing you much problems. Also, the arrow tip could be used as a drill. If you can get a two in one, that would be awesome.

I have seen some sling shots like yours with a whisker biscuit attached for arrows. When I got sick I couldn't pull my bows back so I made a wrist rocket shoot arrows. I used a key chain ring and two rubber bands.

@FowlersMakeryandMischief

Awesome

The best idea iv seen for a arrow for SS pouch use is.When using the store bought arrows, remove the nock and epoxy a golfball tee into the hole. This lets you pinch the tee just the same as ball ammo and you dont have to alter your release nor your cheek point . You could heat and soften the arrow nock and mushroom it out as well but the tee is more consistent and cheap to boot . They even come in Neon green and pink plus lend to glow paint too.

What if you took the arch things that hold the rubber “bands” and you permenatly bind it to the handle and take the removable part and put that onto the arrow holder and you can have a normal sling but you can attach and detach the arrow holder👍🏻! Just a sugestion

.44 caliber balls (.454), designed for black powder revolvers, will dramatically increase the power of your slingshot and give you the ability to take humanely harvest larger variations of small game, varmints, etc.

On the sling bow use golf tees for nocks...work great

Pull the nock out of the (carbon) arrow and insert a wooden golf tee. You can grip the golf tee in a slingshot pouch really well!

I know it’s very late but to shoot arrows out of my sling shot I glue then sinew in a golf tee into the opening of a cane or aluminum arrow... you could possibly drill the back of your sprus to accept the golf tee it works very well and I hope to see you give it a try!

Lmao! That shirt is awesome!

If you take the knock off an aluminum arrow you can glue a golf tee in the end and will work in the pouch

Looks good. If I can make one suggestion, don't grip the handle. Open your fingers and just let the handle push between your thumb and forefinger. When you grip a bow it causes you to shake. Opening up your fingers will stop some of the sway. Your aim looks good, but it might help make it even better. If you watch the Olympic archers you'll see the bow drop after they take a shot, that is why. Good luck!

Hi Zach i use golfing tee for my arrows they cool for the pouch.

That t-shirt is awesome

As a creator, that PiP trick with the mirror alone was worth watching and subbing your channel. That's something I'm gonna shamelessly steal.

Pocket shoot has caps that go on the end of your arrows to use if you don't want to knock the arrows. Give them a look.
