Shepherd Slinging: Four things needed to get good

In this video, I share the four things needed for anyone to get good at it. #sling #shepherdsling

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

If you understand the force generated by a sling, you also understand that Goliath didn't have a chance. 😂

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..

Highly motivating video. I sense your enthusiasm for the skill. Good length too. Well done.

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.

The only thing I managed to hit with a sling was the windscreen on my own van when the shot went behind me, about 30 years ago, never tried it again 🤣🤣🤣

A lefty in another video is a very good slinger. Out of all the techniques he used, Greek and Byzantine are my favorite throws.

Your videos I am just now beginning to discover and they are invaluable to any outdoorsman including me. Thank you and righteous!

Hey I just got my Paracord sling in my hands and came across your video. (Not related)Thanks I am already learning by watching! Haven't even broke a window yet !

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.

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

Great video! I've never seen a better explanation of slinging. Convenient, since I just loaded up on slings.

[jordanjay]

Sling paintball would probably be awesome

[ChuckinSteel]

Great video, I haven't spun a rock since I was a kid. I need to get back into it

[jonhand]

Could you paint/spray the rocks a luminous orange colour so that they are easier to collect in the foliage? Thanks for the video.

I always love your videos brother- God bless 👍

Amazing footage man, I've been seeking a nice tutorial per say..you got man! Awesome vid 🙂 keep it up

The action is just like pitching a baseball. You should make your own sling. Cheap and easy with just about any available material. My first pouch, fifty years ago was made from a piece of inner tube, no one else at that time knew how to do it.
