i put together a longer sling, maybe four feet long folded. it has a large ducttape pouch, and i tried the pirouette style with it, with my normal size ammo. i found that style with that sling to be inefficient, and i was wasting alot of energy. i felt this effect mostly when i went back to my sling and felt how much less motion it took to sling a rock harder and faster. i think that if i were using a larger or heavier ammo than i usually do, then it would be worth the energy needed to sling with that combo. but since i am using ammo that overages about 2 ounces, and i think the total weight of the sling is nearly that much, it is inefficient.
i think that when i get a chance i might take a trip to the river in the woods and get some bigger heavier stones and try this combo with those.
