Okay; I`m defeated for now Sad

.
Lacking watermelons I tied a "handball", somewhat smaller than a soccer ball, to a rope, and slung away at it from 25 meters. And never hit it. Sometimes I was just SO close, but no hits.
So starting from today the training goal is refining my pinpoint accuracy, I cant let allow this to happen to me Grin

It must be that the new challenge is making you self-conscious ?

I think it as to do with using any kind of ball as target. I have missed quite a few of them over the years and consider them my nemesis. I intend to remedy that this year.

No comment. By the way, close your blinds.

Anywho... so I went hiking today and stumbled upon this...

A genuine wild watermelon patch. Likely started by someone spitting seeds into this river before it dried up to during the drought. Or at least that's the image I want to go with. Either way I set up some of these bad boys and started slinging at them. I even managed to score a hit or two. I will upload the video as soon as I can.

Anyone else planning on responding to Luis's challenge?

Ended up with Sisal balearicus horridus, so i'm braiding my third flat braided sling, hoping it will come out a bit better. Round braiding is sooo much easier

Here's the first of what might end up being a few videos. All I had were shrunken wild grown water melons which amazingly I stumbled across today while hiking. The picture I posted previously shows them. The video only shows one hit though I hit the larger size one as well at a different time. Hopefully will do better next time!

I can't believe you found a wild patch of melons! That's providence eh? I will make a video this weekend if the weather allows.
