Hey slingers!

Hope y'all are having a good holiday season!It's been a while since I last used my slings.My brother and I went out to the disc golf course and when we finished up I had a little round of slinging golf balls.I threw about 20 golf balls for distance and I was a bit surprised!My farthest throws were in excess of 200 meters,which is not my best,but after a 1 year break,not bad for me.The caulk tube pouch worked flawlessly on every throw,even it wasn't too rusty.

Videos soon,I am going to attempt to break my record.

Welcome back.

My cousin had a wedding reception at a golf course. The driving range was next to the reception hall. I use a sling as my hatband, so I went over and rented a bucket of golf balls on the driving range. I received a few funny looks but no one bothered me. It was nice having the yardage marked out for me.

I believe it might have been about 125 - 150 yards at the most with a 36" sling-- it was a few years ago, and I usually focus on accuracy over distance. I do not think I got close to 200 yards. My hat is off to anyone who can.
