Slinging at school...
Nov 15th, 2005 at 9:32am
 
Me and some friends have been slinging at school since I started slinging.
We've been slinging over the river to a little isle in the middle of the river, as that is the direction with least change of hitting something.
Today our teacher stopped us, saying that she'd had a small meeting with the principal about this. "If we see any slings here anymore, we'll take them, and you'll not get them back!"
I've got good control with my sling, and I'm pretty accurare too, just so you know that's not the reason why they banned the sling Roll Eyes
Then she sayd the cool part: "The sling is a weapon on the line with knifes, revolvers and other guns."
Cool! Not that she meant to say something nice or so, but cool that that's the school's meaning about the sling! Grin

Yeah, I had the folks at my college ask me not to sling there, because they said they had enough problems with erosion without "Guys with slingshots doing their part" Strangely enough, they made no mention of the fact that I was using a primitive weapon on school grounds, their biggest problem was my contribution to erosionary action. Truthfully, with the campus formerly having been an ammunition dump during WW1, I think, as well as WW2, and literally littered in broken glass (which I collect for knapping), beer cans, dead animals and old fishing line and sinkers, erosion would be the least of their worries, but oh well, eh? All the same, I found a small beach on the river that flows by the college, away from the main part of campus that is covered in about 10 inches in some parts of nothing but gravel, and asphalt chunks, and granitic rocks put there as waste removal. So, I roam the beach and do a little "redistributing of the riverbank"!  Wink

I sling at my school all the time. In fact, my hall had a breakfast in the commons yesterday morning, and we all participated in the traditional "biscuit toss" where we take turns throwing the unwanted, overcooked biscuits out the window of the 2nd floor and see how far we can get them. I used my sling - unfortunately, a flaky biscuit is not the best ammo and they obliterated about 10 feet after leaving the pocket!

I'm also interested in magic but mainly in coin manipulation/flourishing. There are videos on my website at http://www.coinmanipulation.com if anyone is interested.

ObOnTopic: I didnt do any slinging while I was at uni but was into long distance frisbee and boomerang's, until my home made boomerang took out a colledge window and got it confiscated Wink

Its not too suprising that people in responsibility like teachers ban these types of things. For every skilled/responsible person like us there are 50 kids who just want to chuck rocks through windows. Just try to find a place out of the main areas and you should be ok. I was worried when I started slinging recently as the best place to practice for me is about 200m from a police station, but its of the main road, sheltered by trees so I havent had any problems at all so far.

Slings and other throwing weapons are just too dangerous. Grin
