Wide-Grip/Underhand Delivery Movie
Feb 18th, 2005 at 7:20pm
 
Fellow slingsters, ...I found this from last summer.  It shows old greenie at his smoothest   Grin.  Note the wide grip, and palm forward at time-of-release.  For me, this style launches ellipsoid ammo point-first almost every time.  Very pretty to watch.    I think archeorob will soon post some fast still photos of this style, too.  mgreenfield

Jolly good form!  It has an almost 'professorial' feel to it!

Although, I'll bet you are regarded as the 'terror of the Cul de' sac' by some....

Good show!

Wow! What a nice lash! Mike, really nice to see the great improvement from the time of your first movie, a few mounths ago. That's it! You have got the feeling of the cord tension. Thanks for the movie.

What were you aiming at? A neighbour's house? Wink

In the shape, structure and position of each stone, there is recorded a small piece of history. So, slinging them, we add a bit of our history to them.

What kind of sling were you using?  It looks quite long.
  That makes me want to make a little movie now.

Thanks for the comments, fellow slingsters!  The sling was about 33-35" long from fold to knot.   

Pocket was 2 pieces of 1"wide x 7"long nylon webbing.  Each end of each piece was coated with plastic glue to make a 1" square of almost-solid plastic.  Each of these squares was then drilled in the middle and a 1/4" brass grommet installed.

Cord was 1/8" braided nylon.  The 2 pieces of webbing were crossed to make a pocket.  The ends were lapped over each other, and tied together with the cord.  This makes a great pocket, cupped in BOTH directions, AND expandable.   There are photos of this pocket someplace on the forum.

I cant remember for sure, but I think I was just pitching a tennis ball for this demonstration.  There's a big farm field behind our house, ....which is now full of rocks & golf balls  Grin

That sling & easy delivery is good for about 100yards with roughly ellipsiod ammo of about 80grams weight.

BIG question:  Will it impress chicks??   mgreenfield

Probably not, but it did impress me.

Well, Mr. Greenfield......I DO declare!

If'n you ain't quite the charmer!


LOL.....I couldn't resist.   In actuality, That 'curtsy' like maneuver at the beginning of the cast, although funcional and intuitive from our unique vantage point....

Might only attract a subsect of certain females..... from a specific sub culture......

Grin

P.S.  Nothin but love for ya Mike.  I personally thought the video was excellent.....textbook even!
