Hey,
I am also a newbie when it comes to accuracy but I am getting better. I find that the Apache Style gives me the most accuracy at approx. 20yds. I sling at a small pyrimid of rocks that I set up and its very rewarding when the rock hits and it explodes!!!!!!!! Cheesy

I also like the a type of overhand with a single wind-up after pointing at the target this is accurate but I still need to work on it.
Hope your accuracy increases! Wink

Posts: 654 Gender:	Re: accuracy Reply #4 - Feb 23^rd, 2006 at 12:08pm I have most accuraccy with Weaver overhand style, hitting thick trees(like half a meter dia.) at thirty meters with uniform weight of stones. EDIT: Oh, and I am slinging for like... three years, but I stop sometimes and begin again after several months.

I haven't been slinging for a while (50 cm snow makes it hard), so I'm really bad. At least I still have collected stones from the autum, but I can't like be practicing, just throw a stone or two.
I think in the autumn I was able to hit a half a meter tree from 10 meters.
When the snow just melts, I'll practice so that I'll be back to normal again.
