You shoot butterfly too?!! This video is what is needed out there right now! You are spot on with this one! I knew it was pure gold buy your first statement when you said, “ it’s not the frame that makes the shooter!” So true. It’s amazing what gems you can find for under $55! Thanks again for another great video! 👊🙏💥
Ya just a little butterfly 🦋 I don't give it the time it needs to be great at it but it is fun for busting cans. My favorite frame for shooting butter it one I made. Check it out. czcams.com/video/rJrG_9h-YKk/video.html
@@ATOMark yeah, that was a brilliant little frame you made. I remember watching this one!
WOW! now I am going to have to carve one out for myself, that looks FANTASTIC!
Great! Thank you!
Got the Scout LT with handle weight and love it.
Great info, great reviews, as always. Great shooting too
Thanks man.
Great info and demos Thanks Mark
Thanks for watching man. Stay safe
Excellent shooting and excellent informative video thanks mark 👍
Thanks for watching brother. I appreciate you man.
Awesome video as always
I shoot competitive 3 d archery , with traditional longbows and recurves,You have motivated me to start the slingshot shooting. I just ordered a scout pro, an axium, and just today a custom from Timothy Foster
Great video!
Great informative video thanks for sharing
Awesome video, just started watching your stuff, been shooting steel for about two weeks now trying to get the hang of it.. Having a blast..👍😎👍
Awesome shooting through hole to hit the cap.💕
Thanks
That shot with the Wasp was insane! Nice shot!
Thanks man. That is my favorite shot ever.
A great video, I'm just getting into this sport and having fun with the Scout LT
The scout lt is a great frame to start with too. Lots of options and a great all round frame for beginners and pros
... New to the channel ,, great video with good references ... lots of fun at almost zero cost ,, with some practice , can even put a meal on the table ... Good shooting ,fun to watch the elusive bean can ... that's it ,, targets and target boxes are up to the imagination .... can be almost anything ..
That hole trickshot was sick !
love watching your videos
Thanks man
It is so fun to shoot in the woods. The environment provides so many challenges and fun shots. I love getting out there just shooting fun shots. Actually that would be a great video.
Awesome video on some great frames.
Thanks man. I'm glad you liked it.
Cool. Usefull for me.
Some great slings for the money.
Good looking frames!
Some good shooters.
Excellent shooting! Nice range of slingshots. Thanks for including a hand carved unit in there! Could be yours truly is real cheap. Frames made from scrap wood, old Theraband for bands, leather from old work gloves for pouches and used .22 calibre air rifle pellets for ammo. Real customized to exactly what works best. Enjoy shooting! Get outside eh!
Ya man. These hand carved frames can shoot really well. I have a hand carved sparrow that I made and did some card cuts and some tuff fun shots with. These can be really accurate if set up to you your liking. One of my favorite pouches was made by a friend of mine out of old boot leather. The feel is so soft and comfortable. The sport can be done on the cheap. Easily.
Awesome vid! Totally agree the Scout LT is a must for any collection! Big fan of the Fowler Hornet too! At some point (maybe you have already) you should give some pointers for butterfly shooting. I'm having a hell of a time getting it right....
I'm not really the guy for that. I need to give it a little more time. I do know some tips that could help though. I may see if I can put something together.
some top frames great vid
Thanks man.
I like the wrist rocket. works very well
It works for some but I could never get accurate with them.
Ive tried some different frames but after a few days I always came back to the Uniphoxx. The Uniphoxx is so good and cheap too. But as you say, its just the frame. When it comes to how your slingshot shoots, the bands are more important than the frame. Well that and a lot of practice....
I'm not sure its all about the bands. I have some very similar frames some exact in dimensions and there are some I shoot better than others with the same bands set. I think fit and comfort make a big difference in shooting. As For me the uniphoxx i find it locks into my hand extremely well and has all my preferred dimensions .
Awesome sniper work on that bottle cap
Ya I have a bottle cap trick shot ai am having trouble with...... I will have to get back and try again.
Just got my Wasp Uniphoxx Enzo in yesterday and man that is one fun little frame! I was using the black .6 Snipersling that came on the frame and I just lost myself in it. So freaking enjoyable. It seems “quick” to me (shoot and reload) but I think it was just that it put me immediately into the groove. I’d say within ten minutes it became my new favorite! No joke.
Man I have to say that is a fantastic frame. Best value for the money in my opinion.
@@ATOMark agreed! First frame I woke up thinking about! I’m in deep now I guess lol! Only 7 more hours of work! Ha! Hope you’re well brother. Don’t give up on those damn caps but if you need to, try something else for Funshot Friday until you can peg those suckers! Oh yeah guess I should probably be working...🤨😉
Oh I won't quit on those caps. EVER!!! that Enzo is an amazing frame. I want to have a custom Enzo made. One made of carbon fiber and red g10 with brass liners.... yup I think I need to put that in the works.
@@ATOMark Oh hell yeah!
Personally I've been having a blast with 3d printed slingshots. You can 3d print pouch rigs and band cutting rigs too. I have a couple of steel flat band slingshots too, but i always end up shooting the 3d printed stuff instead. Mostly i print wide forked, pinch grip otf slingshots. I print them in 100% infill with esun pla pro (pla+) in all sorts of designs. You could get away with less infill if you are confident you wont hit the fork. Lots of times ill stretch or scale an existing design to fit my hand a little better. I printed a few targets too to hang from a string in my catchbox. im printing a pickle fork rightnow because i want to try them but i don't want to spend money on one because i know ill probably suck at shooting with it lol.
Thats really cool! Do you design your own shapes too or do you find theprograms off the internet?
@@ATOMark I havent gotten to the point where I'm able design anything myself, but it can definitely be done.It's only been about a week that ive had the printer, but the printer has been printing slingshots nonstop the whole time since I got it lol. Sometimes I do stretch the x, y, or z axis in the slicer program (a slicer basically just maps the paths yhe 3d printer should take, but can also scale and stretch and determine the infil etc) to resize the slingshots and or make the forks wider. Mostly i just scale them larger to fit my hands better though. Once i learn how ill design and post a bunch of designs of my own. There are already quite a few awesome slingshots posted online though. They have gamekeeper catapults like the ppmg and also most simpleshot models too. Plus a ton of ergonomic pinch grip stuff. There are a bunch of files for OTF TTF or even ocularis plug style slingshots too.
A Nick Hegarty SPS in 18mm ply is the slingshot I shoot best with and it's one of my cheapest at £25 . Thanks to you last video I banded up the EVO with .8 great white 25-15mm taper , shoots great with 9.5mm and 11mm . If it has good durability could be my new go to setup . The shot on the bottle top through the hole was quality .
Thanks man. Shooting in the woods is a blast. The environment always gives you cool shots
That sounds like a naughty set up, I've got a cheap little setup that I got off a mate for a tenner. Now 9 mates are buying at least one setup on payday. We will make this hobby recognised
Nice review ... Thank you.
Hey Nick, thanks for stopping in brother. How you holding up man?
@@ATOMark were all good here thank you, hope you and your family are all keeping well.
If only the conversion, duty, taxes, and shipping didn’t make these cost restrictive, and above the 50$ price point, for Canadians.
Great frames. That natty is sick👏👏👏. Great shooting!☄🎯 🐮👁. I have made some awesome nattys over the yrs but I always end up giving them away. It's either to get someone shooting or to keep their interest up. In my opinion the scout lt is the best production slingshot made. The Enzo is right up there with it.
Thanks a lot brother. I really like that natty. I made a "Sparrow" out of Ash a while back. I really like that frame. Natty's are great because you can carve them to your specs. I agree the scout lt and the Enzo are excellent frames. The scout it a little wide for me but I like it enough to own 3 of them. 3rd is on the way.
@@ATOMark the lt is perfect for me but I got used to shooting 90mm so long that's what I gravitate to. I'm working out an issue with my release right now. Shooters callus is causing ball hop or speed bump effect. Shooting high.
@@ChuckinSteel for me its in consistent anchor. I am fine in the beginning of a shooting session but after a while my face gets used to my hand touching it and it seems like after a while the right spot doesn't feel right any more....if that makes sense.
I like 85- 90mm frames. The lt is 95 like the evo so I tend to shoot low if I don't adjust. I still shoot it well though. Excellent frame.
Wasp Enzo , Scout LT and Zachs are the winners for me. Cant go wrong with anyone of these.
Agreed
Well, a couple of days ago, I bought a Ka-bar Sweet Move slingshot. My choices were slim on eBay, and at Walmart, and the Ka-bar is "Made in the USA", and I can use tube, or flat (OTT and TTF). It cost me $20.88 after taxes (eBay). There was another Ka-bar for $1.50 less, but I saw it after I bought one.
I like the looks of the Wasp slingshot. There's a clear Wasp Wolf slingshot on eBay that's in an actual auction, and the bid is at $25.50 (including S&H) right now, with 24 hrs remaining.
Oh wow. I would jump on that wasp if I was you. They make great frames. I have never seen a ka-bar slingshot before. I need to check that out.
The wasp xo MacMillan cancer edition is only like £12 in the UK and comes with looped tubes/plug kit and you get to support charity so you kinda get a free/cheap catty depending how you look at it, see I love wasp as they're only on the other side of the uk mountain range
The xo would have been on this list if it was around at the time. I love wasp too. I could easily make a video of great wasp slingshots.
Wow , man that was some awesome shooting skills. I been shooting slingshots since I was a kid. Not as good as you though. I'm getting back into it.
Oh man it is so much fun. I am definately addicted. Lol
The Scout shoots bands also.
Nice vid I shoot the wasp wolf great frame 👍🏻👍🏻
I haven't tried that one yet but I have heard great things
It’s a gd 1 bro but the wasp in ya vid is brilliant definitely great price as well 👍🏻👍🏻
wow, you're a good shooter :)
Thanks buddy
for your next video maybe you can go over some customs (what you like/dislike about them or what you might change to better suit you) that are on the other end of the price range 😀
I will need to get some more. I only have customs from one maker. Hopefully more in the future.
Semi butterfly nice mate and great video
Ya I shoot half or 3/4 butter. Full butterfly doesn't agree with me. Lol
@@ATOMark Yh I tried full butterfly got to much hand slap
I got a slingshot off of Amazon but the handle is just over an inch shorter than my palm width my question is do you know anyone that has basically used scales to make the handle just a bit longer than when it came ordered
SS4 my favorite TTF... .. nice review brother.
Yup its a good one and Nick is a great guy too
same here - I have the GZK version
@@greggcorbett9344 awesome
Yup I have them both
You should take a look at the Leighton slingshots at less than £20 pounds great slingshots and clipped best one I have ever had and different fork gaps
Oh I will.
Not gonna lie once I saw this mans shirt he had me.
grande ATO un saluto da ITALIA
yeah, great video and a great selection 👍 the Scout LT would be my favorite😉
I really like that frame. Its just a tiny bit too wide for me. I shoot best 85mm-90mm frames. But it is still an awesome frame. Pretty soon I will have 3 of them. Lol
👍👍👍
How do you know the bandwidth of a slingshot got from Amazon the alien slingshot
What do you mean. You can put anything on the forks you want as long as it fits.
New personal favorite is a descender sling shot, cheap to buy pre made, cheaper to make,
Where can I find this frame?
@@ATOMark No it's not a frame. It's an equipment that use for rock climbing. It's called figure 8 descender
Oh cool I will have to check it out.
Oh ya I have seen these. They look cool.
@@ATOMark ended up being a 75mm outside fork tips but fun little shooter
Great reviews bro.....dankung looks good to me.....would a trad wrap n tuck work.....rather than roll the latex????
I dont roll the latexive tried it and it sucks. I just use a piece of tube and pop it in the hole with the bands. I am thinking about doing a full review on that frame. It is really good.
@@ATOMark the tube sounds a good idea....yea...be great to see a full review...it's a great looking shape👍
Hi, is ànyone van give me a link where can i find the targuet with head bird. And with bowl on base.? Thank you for answear
You can find it at slingshooting.com
Five good frames for beginners.
I have some nice and expensive frames and 2 of these I cant put down.
Amazing shooting, thanks for the info mark
Thanks for watching man. Stay safe
Try the Pocket Predator mini Taurus
Which way you find it easier ott or ttf
I like ott better but I can shoot ttf not bad. I need to give it more time.
How much for the red sling shot
I cant remember exactly but it is under $30.
Hey man I just got myself some gzk green.72 and snipersling yellow.60 and it's so much better than theraband gold.. Not too sure on the snipersling yet tho
Speed wise snipersling should be faster and have a lighter draw. I believe the elongation is like 6.5 so your bands will probably be shorter than you are used to.
@@ATOMark oh I've cut them the same length basically
czcams.com/video/0pj0N2cmCxk/video.html
Check out this link. It will show you how to find the elongation of your bands.
Gzk green has a shorter elongation than snipersling. So if you cut them the same one may be faster than the other or you may not get the full potential out of either of them if you don't know the elongation.
@@ATOMark cheers man I appreciate it
Like the fact you've done under 50 slingshots,,its not like they grow on trees .🤣🤣👍
Lol some of them do.
ALI EXPRESS, u can pick up very good copies of the scout,and other popular frames which are from the Chinese market, and trust me was shocked on the quality.
True but I don't like buying from ali express. Just too many bad experiences. I also prefer to support those who created the designs.
@@ATOMark They good for first timers like me
As well as supporting when you get good enough like yourself, my most expensive frame is THE GOBLET EVO, wrap n tuck, OTT, and its superb, very comfortable frame indeed, CATTY SHACK.
Yup I have one. Great frame
Why buying copies and from a country that has no respect for anything other than money?
All my slingshot are under 15 dollars when shop from aliexpress I got one for 1 dollar once
Wow $1 thats insane. I will never buy another thing from aliexpress. I got screwed too many times.
You can buy 5 good slingshots for 5 to 10 dollars
*I think younger people are a calamity, they couldn't survive with a $50 slingshot.*
Just a Y for from a tree branch and 5 minutes with a pocket knife is all that's really needed. If you know how to shoot. I have many slingshots for my son to choose from but he always ends up shooting his natty. He could get food with that thing easily.
@@ATOMark
*¡Oh...!*
All you need is a Daisy from Walmart
Ya they work. I could never get anywhere close to the accuracy that I can with flat bands
@@ATOMark it’s not the slingshot, it’s the shooter, I spent my childhood summers in Mexico with my cousins. The only toy available toy to us where the cheapest plastic, if not homemade slingshots with tire tubing.we could hit anything.
I can outshoot all my friends with their expensive slingshots, with my cheap Daisy from Walmart
Oh ya I agree with you. 100% one of my best shooters is one I cut out of a Y branch.
When naming the sling shots say it SLOWER and give text of name, some of us have a it of hearing loss
Sorry bud I'll try and slow it down.
@@ATOMark Much appreciated by he OLDER folks who still like to get out and hit a can or two
I’ve been watching many of your videos in the Jon eventually. But have to agree that you’ve speed wrap through some things that just need to be said slower or at least slow enough for someone to write it down. More work for you would be listing links. Little less work for us lol.
Got a wasp sling I had for about 2 hours snapped after 1 fork hit so wouldn't recommend them to be honest
Wow man that's nuts. I have not had the same experience. Where did it break?
Just under where the band attached mate on 1 of the forks I could've just been unlucky other than that was a good sling to shoot and fairly comfortable in my hand
Wow that is the first time I have heard of one of wasp frames breaking like that. I always thought they were bomb proof.
I would also add The Torque and Wasp FTC. What do you think about these frames? Would love a comparison video!
Also I've really put my eye on the new Stylus from Mark Seljan. It really looks like a frame for my taste and style. Have you tried it, I would like to know your opinion about it?🤍
I bought one but I haven't shot it yet. I will get to it soon. Ftc is a good frame but the forks and a little narrow for me and I find the frame a little thin. The torque is a cool frame too but it is a little wide for me. The only complaint is the clips. They are a waste of time. Too much space in the hole. And the clips move too much when tightening. Both frames are well designed and great shooters if they fit you.
@@ATOMark I agree about the clips. In fact I prefer wrap and tuck.
