same, interesting to see videos from when he was the slingshot guy and not the instant legolas guy.

@LAMBOFGODNOOBLUKEC 1. I am not sad, as I have a hobby that I love dearly. 2. No 6 year old kid can draw out my slingshots, believe me. 3. I legally own 34 firearms, but I can't shoot them in my garden, plus they create noise, stink and costs.

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such a well thought out design as your "H" pattern slingshot. Sad? Definitely not. Obviously the opinion of a an eejut who has nothing better to do with their time than hate on people. May his arse itch until the end of his days.

@@oktc68 Initially when he showed the 3 slingshots I couldn't comprehend the advantage of the design of the H. I even wondered if perhaps it was over engineered. He explained it perfectly though. Now I'm only curious about accuracy & effective range.

maybe you should post design drawings so we can staet where you are.

I use Thera Band, you can find it on ebay. Gold, Black and Blue work best. You need a rollcutter and a steel ruler to cut the bands from the Thera Band, it is very wide when you buy it (14 cm).

Well, the "H" requires welding equipment and skills. So it is not easy for an average person! It is my most powerful slingshot, more than 70 Joules of energy. That is much more than a BB gun does (air guns do 4 to 30 Joules, at the most).

Yes, exercise bands, Thera Band Gold made by the Hygienic Corp. You have to cut them with a ruler and a sharp knife.

Well, maybe not right 'next-door' . . . especially at the back!

Yes. The H is very powerful due to the flat bands, which are faster than tubes. But the tubes last longer and are powerful enough, the difference is not huge.

Nobody will ever be as badass as this guy. EVER!!!

My strongest slingshot ever (the "H" achieved 72 Meters per second with 30 Gramm bullets. That is 78 Joules, almost as much as a .22 bullet from a pistol. But you need heavy bullets, the speed of rubber is limited. More than 80 Meters per second is noz possible, even with very light bullets.

i lIke it how he looks proud as punch after every time he fires a sling :-D love this channel.

This guy is the only slingshotter I trust on YT.

I've made a few OP slings in my day. I have to say, that H model sling is the way to go. With a few minor changes it could be Next-level-GOOD. I have an idea to make this and incorporate the action of a compound bow. I made a few variations in the past, but never thought to do it like this. This puts a whole new dimension on slings and their limits. I love your innovative weapon builds. I only tinker with slings tho

Dude I don't think anyone would want to rob you

In order to draw out strong rubber, the slingshot must be designed right. Grip comfort, wrist strain, efficient attachment and frame stability is crucial. As far as the rubber goes, I have a band manual (free pdf) and even a band dimension calculator on my website, check out the FAQ at slingshotchannel com.

@mosspump22 You can't buy these, I make them for my own collection and never sell. This is just a hobby.

rollers on slingshots!? thats some next level tech

Most of them. But I have just started to buy some commercial slingshots in order to compare them to my selfmade ones. Check out "The great slingshot shootout".

Oh man, classic safety goggles and a tank top! This is where the magic started. Crazy to realize it's been 13 years of physics.

You are a genius at slingshots. I used to live with my slingshot as a child and was a fantastic shot, and now I miss it :(

Hey Joerg, I love your videos and watch with interest... Slingshots may not have the range and power of firearms, but to folks interested in "primitive" wilderness survival skills; the sheer effectiveness of these "primitive" "childrens" "toys" will NEVER allow them to be outdated relics... keep it up... great work!!!

I welded the H from steel rods, from scratch. The metal balls are iron, not steel, and have been bought on ebay, for about 2 Euros a piece. They already come threaded, built to your order. Earlier, I used ball bearings, those are cheap, but you can't drill through them and welding is difficult.

I buy mine on ebay, but just type "Thera Band Gold" into google. You should find plenty of suppliers.

@Reverseflush Sure, accidents happen. But fortunately I never hit my hand with full force. Those who live by the sword...

Good to know, since I can't help it!

that roller idea is plain genius

Can't believe how much this channel has grown! Always knew Joerg had it in him. Dude now has revolutionised archery and is even more badass that he was in this video. Goodluck man.

Joerg, you rock! Smart, creative, and awesome! Amazing slingshots!

Thanks for the kind words. Check out the FAQs on slingshotchannel com! I have an online band dimension calculator.

I noticed that in each and every one of your videos you shoot the sling shot and right after you shoot it you look directly into the camera's lens like that was the most badass thing you have done in your life. I love your videos and your work, just wanted to point that out because it makes me crack up every time you shoot a sling shot!!! hahaha :)

watch how every time he takes a shot he looks at the camera, likes he's a badass

On the "H" slingshot was good thinking. Amazing.

i like how everyone says these are for little kids but if u pointed one at them they would freak out, these are manly slingshots

You are a genius man, Def want you on my team for the apocalypse!

Very nice engineering with the "H"

Stu, flat bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. I think they have less inner friction than tubes, that's why. But they are harder to make and also they break earlier than tubes. No such thing as the perfect solution!

it intimidates me when after he shoots he looks at the camera. good designs!

@Reverseflush I don't plan to make any money with slingshots, that is why I have no need for patents. I openly invite people to use my designs. So if you copy my work, you are not stealing.

Everyone wishes they had an uncle like this. What a cool guy.

Dude you got me into making my own slingshots

@SRMeadows I have tested this extensively, with chronometers and Hi Speed cameras. Don't you think I know my stuff?

@darkvideo54 Yes, check out "Can a slingshot break bricks".

I use Thera Band, you will find it on ebay.

The tapering greatly enhances the power, because there is less weight at the end of the bands (the pouch side). For the other issues, why don't you register at the slingshotforum? I am a moderator there.

If the Germans in WW2 had these sling shots, they would have won the war.

@Reverseflush No, it is OK to copy it. This is just a hobby for me.

i like the background garden!

There is a steel frame of course, Fimo without a solid core would break very easily. It is just modelling clay.

Certainly. If a band breaks at the fork, then the rubber hits you like a whipm on steroids, right in your face. An eye is a vulnerable body part that I, for one, don't want to loose.

I was waiting for him to say "I'm going to pump you up." or "My slingshots are going to pump you up."

Really great slingshots again Joerg!

If you aren't as strong as I am, then you would have to use weaker bands. Still, the power would be remarkable, you'd be surprised. My slingshots don't have a huge draw force, about 50 lbs is maximum. Most people can pull 50 lbs easily, bows often have 70 lbs or more. But you need a powerful grip, as you pull the pouch with just the thumb and index finger.

"Funny" isn't quite the correct term. "Fatal" is much more adequate.

Very cool slingshots btw. I used to have a few my self a while ago. My favorite was one that had a wrist rest. You should design some with this feature. Keep shooting!!!

I really like the design of the "H" slingshot! good job man! my respects!

Nice freaking camera! and I LOVE the slingshots. Good Job

The "V" uses tubular rubber. It lasts longer, but is slower. Even the "H" can not really achieve much more than 300 fps, but that is no problem because you just use heavy bullets. Those have lots of energy even at a "slow" speed. My heaviest bullets are .91" lead balls.

That H design is really clever...

Boshy, my name is Jörg, with an "Umlaut" O. Since that character does not exist in the English language, it is commonly replaced by an "oe".

Not very. I end up paying about 2 Euros (3 US dollars) for a set of bands. One set can last a few hundred shots.

Amazing video as always, Jörg. Just a question, did you've already measured the power of the H slingshot? Greetings from Brazil!

I don't live in NY, but in Hagen/Germany. The shirt is misleading. Sorry for that,

you just know that if Jorge is ever coming at you with a sling shot its game over man ....love you Jorge all the best for this year ahead man keep up the inspiring work! Peace . L

Love watching your videos,, thanks for making them

I like your "H" slingshot. Its like a compound bow in slingshot form! =D

What do you mean by "ripped"? If you refer to body strength, it is very easy to use individual (weaker) bands. Even a normal, untrained person can draw a quite powerful slingshot.

Nice job Joerg! Keep up the good work! Thanks for the great videos

It would be cool to see speed gun measurements. The third one really is a great functional improvement.

the "H" is my favourite out of all of your slingshots. I'm going to make one and brag to people that it's german engineered :D !

Hi Joerg, Just happened upon your channel as I'm reasearching catapults/slingshots with a view to making my own model for hunting rabbits.You've given me a lot of food for thought, Thank you, Black

WOW the H sling shot would look totally brutal with maybe a mounted stabalizing attachment that goes over the holding hand's fore arm? Like those Wrist rockets.

Thx for the idea of ''compound'' slingshot.

I do make them myself, but I do not sell them. Selling them would mean to put a price tag on my weekend hours... I refuse to do that.

this quality is better than most vids here in 2015

He's so different back then.

that H Frame is awesome I would love to own it.

Thera Band Gold. You can find it on ebay.

The " H" looks deadly

imagine how badass this dude would sound without that accent

Damn.. I realy like the "H" one..

They are very well behaved slingshots with no handslap to talk about .... i am very impressed and i will be copying some of you idead ... hope you dont mind

Hello Jörg! I've been watching some of your older videos and just stumbled over this Gem! With this H configuration do you estimate this to be so effective that extending the H in length even further for example by 10 or 20 cm might add power?

@duncanlanceoliver194

doing so would increase the inaccuracy and the strength required to compensate the upper and lower flex which would require the addition of a waist mount which doing so would in my mind make the act akin to basically the creation of turn your attempt of making a slingshot in a crossbow their is a honestly recommended limit of total size for a slingshot to 18 inch height and weight of 5 inch and depth of from 2 inch to a max of 4 inch once to go pass those guides your no longer making a slingshot your instead creating a crossbow or even a catapult

Please don't change your accent, I like it!! Now I even speak to customers like that! :)

i really enjoyed your giant sling shot video with the big 8cm ball

your H slingshot is awesome, my like

Nice camera! great slingshots

I love all your videos, I have made your H shape frame out of 3/4" in the middle for your hand and 1/2" pvc for the rest of the frame with tee's at the top and caps at the bottom, Im trying to find the band material, I plan to use 11mm. The next one I make I want to mount a wisker biscut on it and a zebco 33 fishing reel for bow fishing. Hopefully what you are doing will incourage young men to find things like this to put themselves into. Great job Sir !!!

The last one makes some very ominous clicks...lol, good job!

Slingshots were the first real weapon I had as a kid grandfather showed us how to make them from the branches of a tree rubber bands and a tongue of leather from an old shoe

love the H mate! 10/10
