- The first shoot of the year for the UKCA, held at a venue called Street City in Sheffield. Shot on a JVC GY-HM200 with a brand new stabiliser that I was utterly inexperienced with, so apologies if you get a bit motion-sick. Magazine on sale here: slingshot-world.ecwid.com/

Bar none, the best catapult video I’ve seen. A bit fly on the wallish, with classic reporting, and commentary. Rough around the edges at times giving it extra charm, spontaneous, humorous, unscripted and natural, informative, inquisitive...just brilliant!
It was 1st time out with a brand new camera.. and you just made my flippin SEASON, sir! Thanks ever so much for the kind words. Check out my magazine, free.. issues one and two here: www.slingshotworld.co.uk/digital-edition/
Best overall collection of classic British faces I've seen in a long time ...

loved it Adam, great job. i've got a lot of videos to catch up on :)
I just took on the slingshot/catapult as a personal challenge recently and very much enjoyed this video! Thank you for posting
Nice one! Thanks!
Come back to Sheff. Would love to get to one of these events!
The pride of Ireland does it again.
Slainte and tiocfaidh ar la !
Brilliant to watch l need to go to one of these one day well done everyone.
He's a mithering sod him isn't he bloody hell ! ?
I enjoyed watching that ,Cheers Adam
Cheers Crog, I was worried that it was just too long...but it is about the PEOPLE, rather purely results, as there are solid sources for the names and scores!
Its long but it flows nicely and only seems half as long , how did you find your JVC turbo nutter bar steward ?
shooter to target distance? it's same standard in all tournaments including world cups?
Oh WOW! Cool Pro Shot Catapults shirt. I've a PSTS from them. It's my favorite one to shoot 'cuz of the tilted fork tips. Ive once had wrist surgery and lost alot mobility. I have serious hard time tying bandsets onto frames. I'd like to put clips onto it, like Simpleshot- Scout XT or LT style clips or simular. Do ya know if ProShot could Customize one for me? Do they do such work?
THEY NOW MAKE CLIPPED ESIGNS!
Normally make my own from various wood forks available and tyre inner tubes....all hand carved...South African friend of mine introduced me to the sport...only used when I Bushcraft.
Nothing like this here in Finland. Not too many slingshooters here I guess.
surprising how many TTF shooters there are
I can't believe you can have an association for this.when I I play this as a kid,people just regard us as wild child.lol
ME TOO! Its so damn cool! Come and have a go! Get a cheapie from the guys on facebook!
i am an absolute fool for not going to this.
Hey.. make a mad effort to get to the BCA one in NEWPORT! Saturday the 6th May.
HEY DUUUUDE! Another one in the same town, coming right up..EXPIATE THINE FOOLISH FEELINGS - make for it - LOL and just come..it's awesome and I learn heaps at EVERY shoot.. and they are lovely people.
By the way ordered a small package from Simpleshot USA worth £50
and had to pay £16.95 fees royal mail for it to clear through customs !
Hence why buying from his UK stockist, ProShot is a good idea when stocks allow. £11 of that was the UK customs 'bothering-to-bother-you' fee, or the get out of bed fee, a fixed amount per shipment. The rest was VAT. So you got off lightly!
How big are the bullseyes ?
a think it is couple of inches
What's a perfect score at that tournemt 70?
Right .
Anyone make that?
yes, 70.. and no I didn't think so....
Maybe to much beer beforehand
ill notice that little patch anywhere 😂😂😂😂
Judging from the comment made i would dare to say that many of these people would find archery real buzz, it requires some of the atributes of this sport but includes the use of a lot more muscle.
As a youngster, these instruments were frowned on as usually they ended up breaking someones window, where as achery is a very well governed sport, each shoot lasting half a day or 144 arrows.
I never knew that there were now clubs, the last i heard they were trying to ban the use of sligshot, usually the property of the younger generation.
Things seem to have changedva bit.
