My father used to be a Sheppard. These dudes living wild while the first world stares at screens

I haven’t hear laughter so innocent in so long… thank you ..

You never see slingers in any roman movie/show battles but they were pretty common, thousands and thousands of sling stones were found on 1 tiny roman battleground. Imagine these kids practicing every day until adults. They'd be snipers. Now imagine thousands of them all behind a giant wall of roman shields. What could stand up to that?

What happy, lovely lads they are. Such a chilled vibe from them. I hope they’re all doing well.

This is 100% the vibe of whoever wrote 1 Samuel when he said David looked ruddy and glowing with health, and had beautiful eyes. 😄

Looking at terrain they have unlimited ammo. Hehe.
-
a man with a firearms: dammit I'm out of ammo! slingers shepherd bois: UNLIMITED AMMO!!!!!!

Every Afghan person I've ever met was complete gem, so polite, and humble. Love the Afghan people.

This takes me back to travelling in Morocco and meeting similar young shepherd boys. They’d be far from home, away for a couple of days, sheltering in herders huts, food in a satchel and as happy as could be. They were all crack shots with thrown or slinged stones. The stones were used to steer the herd, no sheepdog needed. Such a joyous sound as they chattered and laughed as they went along. ❤

They're so casually proficient with the sling. It's crazy to think what a full grown man would be capable of.
-
Much more deadly in force than a "slingshot", for someone who's tried both, the difference is remarkable.
-
I bet them little kids are so accurate. They make it look so natural.
-
Agreed. Great video. One can only imagine how good their older shepherds would be with their slings.
-
The innocent Hazara Afghanies with their slings and livestock look so happy and blessed.
-
They're so adorable!

بارك الله فيكم و حفظكم صبيان رائعون

looks like a joke, but a well trained shepherd boy could literally dig one of those stones deep inside your head...

You guys are awesome. My Dad made me a sling when i was a kid and taught me how to use it. I just wanna tell you kids im sorry for what my government is doing to your country. Alotta Americans believe our government is corrupt but we're not able to stop them right now. They have turned on their own people please keep that in mind if you meet any. Invading your country is our government and does not reflect our wishes as a people.

I hope those boys are alive and well I really do.
