Video Transcription

hi guys it's Mike from mcq bushcraft here I've been out today primarily with the slingshot after gray Scrolls they're very very active at this time of year you're all loading up for the colder months to come they are literally everywhere but I've had no luck yeah they very smart admit II quit for me today almost had won by the skin of his teeth they very very close but I found this piece of ash with some cramp balls on and I thought for a bit of fun let's see if I can get these crumples here from a fairly long distance so I'm going to prop these up on this tree here and you can see I've got two pretty decent crumbles that try and take out and they're at an angle so you can see them I'm going to leave the camera here and head up then this straight see there I can take them out with my half cock target sniper I'm using thera-band gold tapered from 20 to 15 mil of 12 mil lead which gives you around about 230 foot per second on average this is probably the distance that I usually hunt at it's about 30 yards we'll see how we get on so just below Lex

let's take it just below the top yeah

you

that was a pretty close shot there then I just turn this around you know see how close it was but not hit it yet at least I can recover that one back same spot just over the top just next to the other one can't believe that

so again I was pretty close again not close enough pop that back I can recover some okay see what do that's the top one because just behind them I should pluck him off then I can get the other just behind

just above

very very close every time just behind so I can get that bottom on there but I was very close as you can see by the groupings around it and this particular slingshot here that I use or categorical II call them hath got target snipe I've really got on with well and I can cite it up pretty good for target shooting and it's also nice to shoot instinctually when you're doing a bit of hunting sometimes but this is generally generally what happens when I go out after squirrels or wood pigeons and I start to kind of things don't go my way and you know I just start to kind of do a bit of target shooting have a bit of fun because you know hunting can be difficult with one of these it's not just about being a good shot this way you know actually getting in close proximity to what you're wanting to shoot or stumbling prop upon a good opportunity or staying still for long enough you begin to blend in with your surroundings and things starts come into range but there are some people out there that can shoot these things for you know hundreds of yards and be incredibly accurate consistently which is which is quite incredible really but just a bit of fun nothing too serious on this video and yeah good fun worth getting them thanks for watching guys and I'll see you very soon in another video take care

About the Author

MCQBushcraft

I'm a UK based outdoorsman who started hunting and fishing with my friends when I was young.

Educating yourself about your surroundings and having the core skills to sustain yourself using your environment is a lost curriculum in the United Kingdom. We are well provided for, so well that "why do anything if somebody else will do it for you". This lifestyle has drastically disconnected people from having the knowledge and skills required to spend even one night in the woods and not get hungry.

I love being outdoors and have never lost the desire to learn and practice skills that I get a sense of natural connection from. Hunting hangs controversy in the minds of many, but in my eyes there is nothing more natural if you choose to eat meat. I appreciate that not everybody hunts in moderation though.

Thanks for reading
