What's there to limit?
I mean really, we're definitely not talking rocket science here.
Are we?
If the object is slung via cordage of some type.....and not rocket assisted or mechanically via some other means,
Then hey, it's called slinging.
I mean, we go taking ourselves
too seriously and then we are just like all these other sports and their monotonous limitations and even comparisons.
Let each man create his own playing field and may the best style, material and design win.
MUCH more interesting than trying to lasso a fart in a whirlwind.....(Upon deeper contemplation, I take that back).
And let's face it,
For most, it's going to be difficult enough just trying not to embarrass one's self silly.
Organizational efforts would be better spent on creative target and distance events.....
like, I don't know......say:
Pop the pumpkin- 20 paces.....first hit wins a pumpkin pie.
Dent the barrel- 50/100/200 yard events
Helium 24in. balloon moving target sniperthon. Each man 3 trys at 20 paces. Best of 3 wins.....Larry Bray's world record rock. (Or reasonable facsimile)
Clay Pot Marathon 20/50/100yrd events....every man slings until one is hit at each distance. Least number of tries captures the 'trophy' for commensurate distance.
Urban Hooliganism event:
Old window panes propped against hay bales....at varying distances.....extra bonus to the man who shatters one of the couple or so stained glass beauties we can scrounge.
Bread toss....No one breaks for lunch until he's hit a loaf of marble rye at 20 paces.
Unlimited Open distance contest: Do your worst, with your best, of course.
Dodge ball.....mwaahaaahaa, rubber spongies at 30 paces. Teams decided by weigh in before and after 'drinkathon' held directly before competition.
The more creative the events, the more likely we will see some intensive style, material and design efforts brought to the event.
And that's really the big draw.......an event of sufficient interest, ripe with the promise of high entertainment and challenge to pry those very few Jedi Master slingers we know must be out there, from their respective lairs....
