It demonstrated that for raw beginners the sling isn't easy to use. I think these guys should have started with non lethal ammo. They're lucky no one got hurt.

I think the video has some entertainment value. But if someone was a beginner to the sling, this is not a video I would recommend. Terms aren't accurate, as Rat Man mentioned it wasn't the best choice of ammo for someone who's inexperienced, and there was definitely a danger in play. For example when he had the sling in a rotation and just lost the rock.

I think a certain amount of respect should be given to a sling with a rock in the pouch, but this video didn't seem to demonstrate that.

Jaegoor

It's like a filler video when someone doesn't have anything important to say, that is the result . No hate I have done it too I just don't get the views Tongue

but even if there is not any useful information in the video about slinging there is information on how to make an uninteresting video interesting, just by presenting it differently. 140k views & 5.6k likes that says something about us viewers and about youtube.

I'm actually not sure if this video has come up before but I thought I would tack it onto this thread just so there wasn't yet another post titled "New Slinging Video" or something similar. Seems he's not bad and shows off the power you can get with a sling well. Not much more to say really but thought I'd add it to the forum Cheesy
