My photos and Movies
Aug 10th, 2004 at 4:03pm
 
Hello everyone,

My friend and I went slinging today and took a few pics and movies.

You can see the movies at www.combat-world.com and click on downloads then on slinging. I made a regular version and a slowmo of each. All mine are Chris and my friend is laurent. I think his forum name is lmarshall.

Im not really sure how to do the pictures, but here goes.

...
^Im working on the new netting style from Matthias.
...
^Differant shot

^My first sling
...
^This is my current sling. Till I get my netted one down.
...
^This is laurents newest sling, he just finished today.

Hey all,

I'm the guy in the pictures chris just posted. We just started slinging a few days ago for something to do when we were bored, but now I'm definitely interested in doing a lot more slinging. Go and watch the short video clips that Chris put up  on his site, and if you have any tips on technique they'd be welcome, cause that what I need!

Hello. I'm sure you'll have countless hours of utter staisfaction in the years to come (thanks to slinging that is). For my two cents. Since you just started slinging I suggest learning nwmanitou's technique as a good place to start. Pretty powerful and accurate. I also suggest maybe using a shorter sling. The best way to get better is to experiment. Find a technique that feels good to you. I've been slinging for 3 years now and find that, despite its bad press, the "helicopter" throw can outrange pretty much anything. Just go out and have fun.

Good job men! Photos, sling construction and technique in one intro thread... That's what we like to see. I take great personal pleasure in seing (half) of a net-sling coming together too!

Welcome all to slinging.org!
