Just found that I had packed my Balearic sling-- as in sling made by a lady on I think Menorca, a real fibre bassetja: thin braided cord, rather improbable split pouch, quite long (right finger to outer edge of left shoulder) Took it for a spin, which is really the first time I went seriously shooting with it. The split pouch worked ok (don't like the way stones sometimes shift during spins, i.e. seat themselves a bit further in the split). Gratifyingingly, the first shot was on target; the thing shot slightly heavier stones than my usual (perhaps 120-150g), nicely, and also delivered good performance on distance shots.

Quite abrasive on the fingers, though.

Last day's slinging. I'm afraid my shooting was all over the place, but the Balearic sling still give good service, this time shooting large stones (just under fist-sized). I remember Aussie telling me to stop shooting pebbles; this was fun.

Nice. I didn't realize you used a Balearic sling/style

Nice pic Jaegoor. The outfit is neat!

Attached is a favorite summer slinging spot with an excellent view!

The stone was the aim. Not diane. it is an old trick. One aims at a very small aim. This stands before the real aim. One aims at the small one. The brain incorporates hit on the big aim in this visualise of the small aim. The Ergebniss.... one meets smaller aims much better.

Der stein war das Ziel.  Nicht die diane. es ist ein alter Trick.  Man zielt auf ein sehr kleines Ziel.  Dieses steht vor dem eigentlichen Ziel. Man zielt auf das kleine. Das Gehirn bezieht Treffer auf dem großen Ziel mit in das visualisieren des kleines Zieles ein. Das Ergebniss.... man trifft kleinere Ziele sehr viel besser..
