Well, done young man, I'm just a 62-year-old beginner! Made myself a few slings, short, long and differing pouches! I like leather and paracord and I made varying size pouches to try out! I made one broad to carry and sling a dozen stones or more at once. For this, I made the pouch so it wraps all the stones inside until release, just like a scatter shotgun, but a sling - works fine for some situations! I have a bow, guns, boomerangs, and other stuff of more ancient weaponry, but the sling is new to me and interesting. I hope I can improve my technique to your level! It beats the catapult any day! Now I have my eye on a pole sling too, used overhead with a curved release carved into the pole! Have you tried such a thing? I have been watching quite a few videos on techniques and you are right on the mark!
Just started myself I'd be lucky to hit the broad side of the barn if it stood still while the planet rotated to put it in the way as long as it started out behind me :) Now I'm thinking boomerang as my bow is dialed in. Ok I'm not that awful but kinda close, this is an aquired skill it takes practice. Bowling, Pool ( I'm damn good at pool and so is my wife), Archery, firearms marksmanship, darts got it! Sling, oops try try try again :)
“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.” 1 Samuel 17:4-6 KJV
The balearic championships didn't have anyone to touch you, you are a very good slinger !!!

great slinging... pleasure to watch. I just started and that figure 8 eludes me... you make it look so darn easy! lol
You're an incredible slinger, but I'm sure you know that. Great video, as are your other ones!
U should get a radar gun and see what kind of velocity you are getting.
very good

Do you ever go out to forty yards? If so, how many hits will you get out of three dozen shots?

Nice!
Another great video. Dan I'm curious... what are you using for your release mechanism? Knot, tab, bare cord.... etc?
I used just an overhand knot plus about 2" of tassel after, that's pretty standard for me.
I would really like to see you working a man size target
what is you favorite technick ?
What material is your sling made of? Mine does not sound like that.
This one is a tarred bank line sling. Almost any cord will crack if you taper the release cord though.
hi, 26inches is the full length or half ? also what is the length of the pouch ? thanks
I think that its the half length
Come on, hit some pumpkins or cans or something
son how can I learn
