Hello from long time lurker (Poconos)
Feb 10th, 2015 at 10:39am
 
Hey all,

Ive been slinging off and on ( mostly off) for about 12 years.

Had a bit of a resurgence in interest in the last few years. Its the simplicity and the ubiquity that appeals most to me.

Two photos are of my most recent slings, the two are leather and hemp and the single one is a shorter sling made from 550 and 325 paracord. I plan to use the modern one to practice with tennis balls and finally try to get some accuracy going.

Later,

Picture of me with a coworkers kid at the shoreline of the delaware river. Which is the absolute best place to practice with stone ammo.

Welcome,  I use to live in Bushkill,  and totally  agree that the Delaware  river is a great place.  I use to go off 'Mcdade' trail into a nice spot off the beaten path and would  never see anyone,  unless  they were kkayaking  through.

Dude!

Im in Dingmans!

And one of my slinging friends is coming to work at my center in a week or so. When the weather clears up well have to meet up on the mcdade trail. What kind of beer do you like (if any)?  We'll make a picnic of it.

Welcome, Frothgar;
   Nice slings.  You must live close to me.  I'm in South Jersey, Camden County.

Maybe when the snow melts we can get together for some slinging, vetryan.  We're probably just a few minutes from each other.
