How to make a Zombie slaying arrow shooting slingshot (Halloween Special 2)
Vložit

- Have made another version of my slingbow. This time, upon many requests, I did a tutorial video as well.
I have devised a home made arrow rest, using rubber (what else). Also, I set the rest far back to gain draw length. Then, I designed the "frame" in a way that armslaps can never happen.
The bow is entirely made from 12 mm and 19 mm plywood, with three screws to stabilize the weapon.
It is more bulky, but also a lot more powerful than its predecessor.
It is Halloween today, so I just had to shoot at a coconut... penetrated both sides. With a field tip.
It weighs 550 gramms (1,2 lbs), ready for shooting.
Here are the blueprints:
docs.google.co...
@Luvanicebum I have used whisker biscuits earlier, but they cost three times as much as all the other parts used in this project. I try to avoid expensive, hard to find parts in my how to vids.
Instinctively, like shooting a longbow. Easy enough to add bow sights, though.
@IvanArsole Well, a troll that I added as a friend is my kind of thing.
People love arrows, I think mainly because you can hunt bigger game with them. Also, I have 10 hours of "lead" slingshot stuff up here, should be enough to watch for a while.
I offer free entertainment to all, which costs me my entire free time, and a lot of money. I even run an entire forum for my fans (or, better, my fellow slingshot enthusiasts). You, on the other hand, come to my comment pages and insult me. No more of that, I hereby ban you. Thanks and bye bye.
Check the FAQs on my website.
@PiPphiltitley It can easily take 120 lbs. Multiplex wood is very strong.
@kaziklu79 I think for Zombies, field tips work better. A broadhead is great for soft tissue, but hunting Zombies requires skull penetration.
this guy is like a old time blacksmith but instead of swords and shields its bows and guns! hes awesome...
@Boyntonstu But then it is just a shorter Novitzkenegger. What for?
@Aeowind1 The blueprints are for A. 3 paper. Use the 32 mm holes as references.
@4950jwk Have used whisker biscuits before, but they cost more than all the other parts for the entire slingshots. To me, "homemade" means "from scratch", and not by using expensive parts.
@versatilechicken No, you need to print it over two A4 pages.
@Boyntonstu The law says arm braces or comparable devices. When it takes force off the wrist, it is comparable. So a slingshot on a stick is illegal in Germany.
It is stupid, but when you add a trigger, then it is legal, because then it is a crossbow and no longer a slingshot.
@DudeNumberOnePlus Yes, I considered that. There is room for such a "bridge". I was planning to use a clear plastic tube (you need to see the arrow, so you know how far you can draw out).
@kaziklu79 I reviewed my scientific sources again in that light (Romero videos), and it seems a good arrow pushed right through a Z brain finishes them for good. Cholo in "Land of the Dead" proved that impressively.
That's the most beautiful weapon you've made so far. I hope your muse is never silenced.
@BikerBoyWonder Multiplex. But you can use other types of plywood as well.
he give exelent tutorials and spend alot of his free time and money just to entertain his "fans" or friends is more like it... id say he does a lot for his "fans"
You have advanced the science of slingshotology.
@Posoloaca If you are a member already, you should be happy to see all the new members joining!
Always a pleasure to see someone take such JOY in his life's work!
Keep up the great work, Joerg!
I don' t know why so many people keep on asking to buy these!!!!!! If you build your own and play around with the design a lttle bit to fit you you'll feel 30 times better!!!! trust me I made my own to fit me and I feel so much better than if I had bought one!!!!!
Jeorg, I always appreciate your inventions. However, after watching countless DIY youtube videos i also appreciate the time and effort you take to not waste my viewing time like so many other videomakers do. You don't ramble on endlessly , you don't add annoyoing background music,you give close ups and decent sound. Your videos are made as well as your inventions, thanks for the extra effort, it makes me want to make my videos better too.
@versatilechicken High grade plywood (multiplex).
You are a true engineering genius. I love the idea of the self-made arrow rest. That was the only issue which so far prevented me of building one on my own. (Side note: Funny thing : Just last weekend I ripped my elastic exercise tube and have excess tubing to do the arrowrest). With that problem solved I will lock myself into the workshop next weekend.
@Konsolenrocker08 Die Röhre müsste denselben Durchmesser haben wie die beiden Löcher, wegen der Federn. Die müssen ja auch noch durch.
I Love a man who has a Passion, You are Really Good at what you do.... Slingshot Genius.... A Great Mind....THANKS
@TheFishhunter90 Ein Rohr würde die Befiederung des Pfeils abreissen. Deshalb nimmt man ja die Gummistücke als Führung.
These should be mass produced as like children's bows. They're minimalistic, don't look hard to draw and super safe.
@Konsolenrocker08 Harte Führungen reissen Dir auf Dauer die Federn ab. Was ist denn Dein Problem mit dem Gummi? Klappt wunderbar.
@bleachbone45 Search for "Thera Band Gold" on ebay.
You never cease to amaze me with your ingenuity !. You truly are a " Genius " !!!.....Please keep the video's coming, Thanks !!!.
@Boyntonstu Can't do slingshot on stick tests, this is illegal. Remember the wrist brace rule? Applies to it. Without a trigger, it qualifies as a slingshot, and not as a crossbow.
Also, a 50pounds draw requires very heavy ammo, heavier than practical for most people. A heavy draw brings no sigificant speed increase for normal ammo.
@eial777 Meist nehme ich eine ölhaltige Politur. Ich lasse die Schleudern ja nicht im Regen liegen.
if u existed hundreds of years ago, this would be the equivalent of the ak47 when it first premiered... brilliant design, very clever and awesome looking :)
@vrtar666 You have to follow the how-to, I never sell.
The way you deal with these people is simply awesome :)
You could do some amazing things with all your ideas, creativity and a CNC machine...
Amazing as always!
Bubba your a true craftsman.. I have been watching your videos and im blown away what you can do with rubber & wood ..
I love this guy but when he says "20mm" in German, ww2 veterans shudder ;-)
7:41 "Always pull out".
@versatilechicken No.
Jeorg you have to be the master of DIY ethic. This is awesome.
So you think I don't have a life, because I have a nice hobby and share it?
it's "Thera band" where Thera is simply the most common manufacturer of these therapeutical latex-bands, made for gymnastics and physiotherapy - you may get them at pharmacy/drugstores.
usual rubber is usually not that elastic or wears out over the time.
there are different colors, golden is the thickest one which is usually the best since it holds the heat for some more time than the thinner ones (the energy you put in by pulling the pocked is stored as heat so if you hold it, you loose energy)
No. But it rivals a recurve.
So hilarious, that smile he does after every shot
For those unaware, coconuts are hard as rocks, to crack them requires a chisel and mallet basically. Thus, if this thing can pop an arrow straight through a coconut, it could do the same thing to a human skull. Clearly, it's a lethal weapon.
That's a very innovative bow design. I'm very impressed.
thank you for all the time you have put into these videos, do not worry , you have lots of people out here that appreciate your efforts, i look forward to many more videos in the future, keep up the good work
your workmanship skills, sir, is amazing
That last sling shot looks soo awsome
This is a great compact design. The arrows will take up more space than the bow itself. (length wise of course) Would make a great "other junk" thrower for specialized ordnance in a very quiet way. Neat. Will be making an example of this in wood and fiberglass. Very good video. Thank you for the work that you do. MGK/GDW!
I love, really love, your slingbows. You are gifted, for this.
Just use the hole diameter as a reference.
That would be a good bow/arrow for a sci-fi movie.
BTW I am feverishly looking forward to every weekend (Sunday afternoon to say) when a new Joerg release is out. My wife is neither a youtube enthusiast nor is she naturally into slingbowing. But she knows you very well and already asks me every Sunday if Mr. Proper has a new invention. Keep it up!!! We admire you...
Jeorg, you are very creative and quite clever. I enjoy your videos very much. Every one! Thank you.
it's been a year since i first watced this vid and i still love it.... this is a must make
i like this thing. it might be a good idea to install a clear plastic tube or pipe between the arrow rest and exit hole. that would eliminate the possibility of accidentally driving the arrow into your hand. if its clear you can still aim.
Just sign into google and deactivate your popup blocker, then try again.
@Homer3864 Du kannst ein Ersatzleder schneiden und anbringen, wenn sich das noch lohnt.
This *IS* a full-time job. He's a CZcams partner.
@Konsolenrocker08 Na das ist doch gut, bringt uns weiter. Lass mal wissen, was Deine Versuche ergeben haben. Tip: Wenn Du Leistung willst, vermeide Reibung.
0:12 that smile haha i love this guy
Anthony Volpe amazing
+Anthony Volpe His smile makes me smile.
:D best face ever
Wait for when he starts to laugh :)
классно буду делать сыну. спасибо. вы делаете классные рогатки успехов вам в будущем и новых изобретений.
recently discovered slingshots on you tube. not sure but think yours was the first i watched. well now im into it full time. im in the process of makeing a zombieslaying arrow shotter. and have a couple of other slingshot in the works also. just wanted to say thanks, its a lot of fun. the midwest slingshot meet is fairly near where i live so im gonna try to go. take care and dont let ths zombies get ya...:)
WOW man! Terriffic little sling bow. Great Job
Awesome weapon. Instead of yealding : "Do you sell one" or "How much would you charge me for sending one" I'm building my own Zombie slingbow ; it's less easy that what it look like. Mind : the back part (the one with the grooves) is a tad too short if you use the blue print. I had to increase it of say a short inch on both sides.
Would you consider building an offset hand grip and matching offset arm rest to make it more user friendly ?
I love how you dedicate alll your time to what you do. Its awesome.Big fan
Always pull out! Great advice from Joerg!
I am a youtube partner. The money helps paying for the materials, is all.
honestly really cool, and just a little crazy. couldn't be better.
You don't know what kind of smarts can young teenagers learn - i made my first potato bazooka with my friend when we were 14.
I had the same issue with the print not to scale. If you zoom ratio to 125% and print on A3 paper each sketch. IE one page for each diagram, you will get pretty much the exact measurements mentioned on the sketch. 39cm height and 32mm diameter circles.
+JoergSprave would appreciate as mentioned the enhancements to the sling you mentioned on other videos, IE under slot system, brace etc. great video and cheers for the tutorials, my Rambone is the best finished item I have ever made by hand
Now translate all that for me.lol
I wanted to be a blacksmith, now I think I want to be a sling expert
finaly someone who uses centimetres. i always here youtubers use inches
Beautiful job, a million times better than how mine looks, mine looks out of shape and awkward. And yes, it does look amazing with the rounding. I agree with what you said to Nestor and Drake, they shouldn't be commenting bad on something that looks like you tried really hard to come up with that, I'm am crazy about building and stuff and I could have never come up with that. Great jod! :D
I like the addition of the arrowrest at the tail, but I wonder if accuracy would be improved with the addition of a whisker biscuit at the fore end and a shorter draw? The arrow would be held rigidly in two planes until you fired, and if the tension is equal in the top and bottom rubbers, it should fly exactly where you point it (allowing for ballistic trajectory).
The fore end is already perfectly conformed to add a whisker biscuit.
Cool slingshot. Neat concept.
Beautifully crafted, genius
Worth it to hear him say coconuts
You amaze me. I just get a kick out of how you think. Great stuff!
dumb comment, this was posted in 2010 and there were only 15 days left to have a chance on winning the slingshot. so many times i watched the slingshot channel in the past weeks, seeing the slingshot giveaways, just to find out im waaaaaay too late :( best thing to do for your kid is making one, the therabands are sold online and in fysiotherapy studios, even in some gyms, just get a nice and even natural fork, and shape it to his hand. cant get more perfect then that
Joerg: Don't let nitwits like Nestor Morales get to you. Those of us (your true audience) truly appreciate your innovative efforts. It inspires us to use our imaginations to achieve higher levels as you do. There will always be idiots with fecal brains and socially deprived personalities. They just can't stand to see someone who is an inspiration to others because they are such losers. These knuckleheads are in the minority, believe me. Keep up the good work. You Da Man! .
Damn. Joerg Sprave and Daryl Dixon during the Zombie apocalypse = unstoppable.
I'd go directly find them
Very Very Awesome SlingShot Design.
If you put a bracer sticking out the back of this, to rest on your forearm.
You could have higher draw weight, and less recoil when it is fired :)
Illegal where he is.
James Pawson Huh...
Seems like an odd, you would have thought they would just make the whole thing illegal...
can you make a video with your suggestion please. sounds really cool!
late reply, but actually joerg did add an arm brace and a hand guard in a later video, apparently this counts as a bow, not a slingshot, so a brace is allowed on this in Germany.
Thaank yooou!
@JoergSprave
No trigger and there is no wrist brace on the Stick.
If legal, a slingshot on a stick with a 'normal' weight draw should demonstrate the advantages of draw ease and steadiness of aiming.
7:40 - always pull out
I like this guy since he likes slingshot I love slingshots too I wish I could have the one he is selling
Don't fret, you can use a 'fret' saw, which is very suitable for cutting this sort of thing and shouldn't be that expensive.
The spirit of invention is alive and shooting!
I was looking to animate a character using a slingshot (not like this one, the one that doesn't have a handle) and found a vid of you. Your videos are great fun and I love the slingbow you made, awesome stuff. just wanted to say hi, cos I have been watching the vids for the past hour or so.
Your a genious. All of your creations are badass
7:41 a motto to live by
You sir, are an artist.
@Plurals42 Hundreds. Not enough, though :-)
If there a zombie apocalypse I would go to this guys house
There's*
Necromancer0917 an "edit" button exists
Thera band gold! i used this for my shoulder physiotherapy!
