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.

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!

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.
