Catch This!

Slings, staff slings, and traditional archery:

In this episode, NOOC (Andrew) and Kick talk shop with Correy Hawk.  Correy (@organic.archer on Instagram) is a veteran of the US Marine Corps, and he was on the survival show Alone (Season 7). These days he teaches classes on traditional bow making at his home in Nebraska and sells bows and staff slings on his website (www.organicarchery.com).  Listen in as we talk history, accuracy, hunting, and we compare bows vs slings and staff slings.

*Editor's note.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, we fell behind on editing.  This episode was recorded approximately 6 months prior to this episode release.

We thought we should let you guys know where we've been, what the next steps for the podcast are and let you know about some of the exciting recent developments in the slinging community! Be sure to listen all the way to the end...

In this episode, Kick and Nooc tackle one of the big topics of slinging history: ancient Rome! It's a lot of history to cover: the equipment, the tactics, the sources, the Balearic islanders and even the kestros. Tune in for another historic episode of Catch This! Podcast.

Joining Kick and Nooc for this episode is knife thrower Lowik! The body mechanics of throwing, the joys of learning a "useless" skill and whether a sling should ever be brought to a knife fight are all discussed with possibly the first person to throw and stick a knife with a sling. Give it a listen!

A little update to keep you guys in the loop of our plans and a few little teasers for upcoming episodes.

They're often confused, but the sling and the slingshot couldn't be more different. Kick and Nooc chat with Fowler of Fowler's Makery and Mischief on YouTube and season 3 winner of History's "Alone", to hash out the pros and cons of each in our sling vs slingshot episode!

Kick and Nooc are joined once more by Channing from Practical Paracord. So how did the international slinging competition in Ibiza go? What was it like? Who were the winners? What are the plans for the future of slinging competition? All this and more are explored in the latest episode of Catch This!

Kick and Nooc are joined this episode by Channing from Practical Paracord. Slinger, sling-maker and YouTuber, Channing chats about the upcoming international slinging competition in Ibiza, how he's been training for it and what he's excited to see out there.

Hunting with a sling is a big, and sometimes controversial, topic so Kick and Nooc, after talking it through themselves, invited Mersa, slinger extraordinaire, to help break it all down and give his perspective on sling hunting.

Slinging for sport! Kick and Nooc talk distance, accuracy and friendly competition all around the world in the latest episode of the Number 1 slinging podcast.
