I've been on and off the forum for a few years now. Interesting to see how the topics have changed.
In the earlier days, LOTS of discussion to develop slinging styles that would work. A breakthrough was nwmanitou's fig 8 video. Also, others.
Lots of discussion re grips. And we weren't even sure a grip and technique existed that could launch an ellipsoid glande like a "football pass".
Lots of investigation of historical mentions of slinging.
Much chat & experimentation re sling construction methods.
Even some oddball things tried, ....super-long slings, super-small pockets, 3-string slings, wire for cords, etc., very light/heavy ammo, odd ammo shapes.
Now I suspect that most of what has ever been known about slinging has been recaptured or recreated, and exists on this forum. An exception might be how to use very light (30gm and under) ammo effectively.
But still, quite an amazing accomplishment, and a demonstration of the power of many minds working together.
