I'm in the park, with kids, and my oldest friend. We chat as we walk. He remembers something from a long time ago. "Do you still shoot with the sling ?" I pull out a small braided and woven number. "Are you any good with it now ?". I pick up a chestnut, push my left foot forward and my right arm far back. My left arm points out: "See that tree ?" Three light spins above the head, the release follows almost casually, the chestnut hits the trunk squarely. "Oh well", he utters. I'm actually surprised, and I know it's the only time I'm going to pull that shot off, all year-- at least.
I do the same. Sometimes, people ask me-"What the heck is that? Some new kind of paracord bracelet?" when I am slinging while playing frisbee golf, and then I load a nice, smooth rock, and am like, look at that tree over there- I NEVER say which tree.....- and I will hit it!
Then I sling.. and it hits a random tree 100m away. and they are like, NICE. Funny thing is, if I picked a tree my stone would not go within 20 feet of it.

Dan, would practice give you scoped-rifle accuracy?
