I cannot really sling well where I live, especially not in winter time because we and others in our street are burning wood for heating (I get throat issues because of the smoke). Now I'm trying to find a decent slinging spot where I live. It's hard to find a good spot in a small country, without any wild nature that isn't protected and / or prohibited. With a population density of 406 people per km², 497 if water is excluded, it's hard not to be bugged by other people. Sometimes I really wish I was born in a different country... Norway for example.

I hope this is something..maybe I can stick a target up here somewhere and sling tennisbals without being seen / disturbed all the time.

Anyone els has such a problem finding a good spot to sling?

I Was going to say maybe you could play at a school once the kids are gone for the day. They usually have lots of space and probably a wall to hit against too.

We have a couple of secluded tennis courts within walking distance of my house. To make a target I make a square with duct tape on the chain link fence.

That's probably a sort of a good thing.  It gets you out and about and off the beaten path, so to speak.  And you get away from the smoke and out in the country, which is also a pretty good thing.  I just hope you find a good spot that doesn't have to turn into an expedition to get there.

I sling in my backyerd, its decently long and only 20 ft across, with neighbors on both sides.  I just don't miss.

I just bought a good 2ndhand mountainbike (specialized rockhopper) for a very good price. Now I can do some cross country touring and hopefully find a good spot to sling.

Today I went to the given spot in my opening post.

This place is better than I thought.  It's about 6 km away from where I live, so it's not that far away at all. This time of the year it is relatively secluded, didn't see any other person at all. In the forest there is enough space to sling, especially now that there is much less growth. The trees are placed far way from each other so I can even sling Balearic style if I want to. It is located in a (man made) nature reserve (1700 ha).

There is a small dump of sand/mud in the middle of the forest just high enough to be a target. I do have to bring my own ammo, though, but you can't have everything. All in all, this is a good spot, and tomorrow I hope to go again.

Looks nice and peaceful.
