A German slingshot enthusiast took his hobby to the next level with a giant wooden slingshot capable of flinging a bowling ball more than 300 feet.
Joerg Sprave, star of The Slingshot Channel on YouTube, posted a video showing off the capabilities of his giant wooden slingshot using a bowling ball as a projectile.
The homemade weapon launched the ball a distance of more than 328 feet.
Sprave said he believes the slingshot could be adjusted to reach more than 430 feet.

Amazing what 70
years of
weapon design atrophy can do to German craftsmanship
