Obsession
Apr 16^th, 2006 at 1:44pm

This is the worst site i ever seen on the internet.
Normal a site gives you information but no this site not.
After reading a couple of guides it starts working in your mind.
Hey even i can make those things.
When you start thinking that it goes wrong.
The last 2 days i spend more time playing with ropes then i ever did in my 21 years of my life.
It starts to get an obsession.
Too bad i must wait till i am at tha archery club so i can trie to sling. (yes i am an fanatic shooter with bow and arrow)
So thanks for stealing my life Tongue

Well i will let you know how the slinging goes.
Thanks for the information.

think it's bad now? just you wait until

you see people on the roof of a tall building and your first instinctive thought is "i hope they don't have slings"

or

you book a family seaside holiday based solely on the advertised presence of a "nearby pebbly beach"

or

whatever you see outdoors in a 100 metre radius will first be seen in respect of precise distance and angle

My sling obsession has reached an all time high during the past two weeks. I guess I just have to blame the beautiful spring weather for it. Lets say I am walking around town, any nice stones I spot go straight into my pocket for later slinging. And alot of the time I never end up slinging them that day, so they end up congregating on the shelf I toss all the stuff from my pockets before I go to bed Grin

But at least my accuracy and power have greatly increased since this obsession began.

Hobbies: Yo-yo, Making maille stuff, Slinging, Archery, Mountain biking, Driving stick, Climbing trees, Airguns, Potato cannons, And electronics.

Right you are, bigkahuna! One of the things I really LOVE about slinging.org is when people post pictures of their favorite slingspot so I can do some vicarious slinging!
The picture is nice and clear. I almost feel I can reach into the computer screen and grab a handful of stones!!!

Aixu, welcome to the forum. The sling is one of those deceptively simple things that you can keep learning more and more about for a long, long time. ( If you live that long. Please, Puh-leeez! stay off the electric towers! I don't think metal cable would make a good sling and we don't want you to suddenly turn into "fried chicken!" ) Shocked

Welcome to you, too fishertech, you've come to the right place! I also find myself looking at rocks very differently now. I hope you enjoy the forum and we look forward to reading your posts. Wink

Mordechaj, what is the name of that beach? Is it called "Slinger's Beach?" 8) .......Dan
