Who is the oldest slinger on the forum?
I don't mean this in a bad way! Remember, Caleb drove the giants out of Hebron at the age of 85, Moses was called to lead the Hebrews at the age of 80, Joshua was around 80 when he conquered the land of Cannan! It seems slinging is an activity that can be practiced from the cradle to the grave!

If you'll pardon the 'mutterance' of an old codger like myself....I would say that Mike Greenfield looks as fit as a fiddle at his age.
Me....I hope to be as spry if and when I reach the 'age of wisdom'.
But I can attest that 37 years of age can positively feel ancient at times.

By the end of May I’ve rode the earth for 68 trips around the sun.
How’s that for a dizzy windup?

Thomas has me beat, I've only been around 56 times. If I had been practicing the sling from my youth I would probably be a lot better. Gene

I thought MGreenfield was the oldest, around 65. I'm sure he'll pipe in soon!! I was raised to respect the older generation and I appreciate you guys being here. My mom and dad are part of the "Greatest Generation". They grew up on farms during the depression and my Dad and uncles fought in WWII. My heros!

No kidding! And what about NWManitou......He should be absolutely 'hard wired' for slinging.
What with being slung from his father's trebuchet at birth and all!

You've all got me - I'm 17. I wonder who the youngest is, though? Wasn't there a post recently by someone of 14 years?
I may have imagined that.
