Slinging off a Dock
Balearic style slinging in the Pacific NorthWest USA. These are 70 meter throws according to the range finder with 160 gram rocks going 190 kilometers per hour. The Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain are home to the best slingers in the world!

What light setup are you running?
Nice shooting 👍. Do you still sling?
Occasionally. Kinda lost the addiction of slinging the past 7 years in the military
Hey do you have any sling makers that you would recommend? I’d like to get one for tennis balls and one for smaller rocks. Thanks!
Can i buy one ? How to do it ?
Good throwing 👌 how far can u throw?
You can see how far hes throwing
Just Glorious
What style of pouch is it?
Balearic split pouch
Those slings are nice, and you have good technique and distance.

nice dude
Good sling technique you have going! A sling the correct length is really powerful. Nice job.
dam that's a nice looking sling good technique too
hey nice slinging and anyone thats interested in slinging go to slinging.org its a sight for slingers full of great people who really know there stuff
Awesome!
What size sling is that. I just made my own Balearic sling out of Sisal but it feels like it's a bit short.
+AEX SCI Balearic slings are notoriously short because they utilize the lower body for most of the power. That sling there is 25.5 inches from the center of the pouch to the base of the finger loop. Balearic slings can reach 35-45 inches however for distance throws.
Oh alright, thanks!
I like your slinging technique, moving from crouched to standing gives a lot of power to your throw. Glorious sound when you release it as well :D Is that the release knot or the pouch area of the sling that is breaking the sound barrier? I'd like to see you explain your slinging technique as well, theres a lot going on there that a novice such as myself can miss.
Thanks Allessio! The technique is called the Balearic Style. Generally for distance shots I go from crouch to standing. For short range shots I go from standing to crouched. I lead my throws with my hips then Ifollow with the arm and pick up rotation speed of the stone to keep up with my hips. The release is a clean release, no knots and the snap is the end of the release cord breaking the sound barrier. I weave special fibers into the last few inches of the whip to take the abuse of the snap. You can have a closer look at the slings here : www.etsy.com/listing/244147499/balearic-slings
Huntsman Sling Err, I will confess that I have already looked at your products. I find you on the slinging.org forum and from there followed the links to RUclips and Etsy ^^ Ah, very cool, so the snap has no real bearing on the projectiles speed? Sounds very impressive though :D
Ah i c i c.. Well the harder you throw the louder the snap so I guess there is a slight correlation between the snap and the projectile's speed ;) The issue many sling makers come across no matter the level of experience is that the snap actually breaks the whip, even if it is made of synthetic paracord. So I found a product called spectra line that I weave into my whips so that doesn't happen when it snaps ;)
I heard some cracking when you released the sling. Is the sling breaking the sound barrier?
+Diego Noriega That's exactly right! The end of the sling does break the sound barrier upon release which causes the snapping sound. It's typical of Balearic Slings to make a snap, however this can be really tough on natural fiber slings such as the one I'm using. To make sure my slings can take the abuse I weave in spectra line into the last few inches of the whip. The spectra line also makes the snap extra loud ;)
Very nice!
Very cool. Think you could elaborate on how to use a sling?
That camera really makes the water come alive. Good technique and power. Looking for a target video.
+COMB0RICO Thanks man. I am looking forward to putting a target video together :)
Very badass
Nice form. Good body mechanics.
Lacking a visible target to judge by, looks like a tight group. A sling is not an area weapon. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Keep it up!
Thanks. Actually slings have been used as an area weapon in a large number of military engagements throughout history, including sieges.
