Several films from timann
Oct 31st, 2010 at 10:20am
 
I brought my film crew to the ball catcher today and made some video`s.
First an example of what I would consider normal slinging http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_DUrHxnwzk

Then with a 41" sling, I find this the maximum length I can use for the figure8 style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01i9UnghhA0

A "blooper", help when I didn`t expect it Wink http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VImGXUF-a0

Finally I was recorded "slinging on the run" like Brian Grubbs did some time ago.  I`ve been thinking of doing it for a long time.  Naturally I used the "Byzantine sidearm" for this, a style with which I`m better running than standing still Smiley

  Great videos!  It looked like you thought about slinging another one at buster when he ran up there, but thought better of it Wink

When in doubt, shoot for the head (worked for David anyway...)

Thanks, Brian.  
I halfway hoped Buster would carry a ball back to us, allowing me to continue slinging, but he could not decide which of the two he should choose Cheesy

PS I just noticed, in the first video I send off ten balls, more or less well aimed, in just under 45 seconds Cheesy

Yes, it is.  But I fear it looks incredibly silly for non-slingers Smiley

Nice vids, timann.  I can sling on the move when I use Byzantine, but I have to add a little hop when I release to balance it out.  I'm impressed with how Buster remains good through at least most of your slinging.  My dogs understand what stay means, but that doesn't mean that they'll do it.

Who cares how you look to the uneducated, as long as your having a good time and not hurting anyone.
By the way your running shots looked pretty smooth.

Cool videos Timann. Never even thought about slinging while running. Sounds hard, but you make it look pretty easy.

Get to a tennis court early in the AM and wage war with your brother. All shots on the run,you're most vulnerable when scooping up ammo! Good fun! Red

Sounds like a good idea, but I think I`ll leave my brother out of it.  My son, a reasonably good slinger, is the man for the job.  He and I have been on the socker field several times, slinging tennis balls back and forth, and have had fun that way.

Tennis court, well, I know of one, but as the rest of Norway it will soon be covered in snow, so we`ll se in the spring Smiley
