They are lighter and more uneven so their flight path is more erratic.
Did you also try to sling them with the avocado around the pit ? :p

Nope, The avocado went on the tacos. We have a ton of taco trucks and Mexican restaurants here should be easy to find.

The fresh pits fly best. We eat a lot of avocados and my wife always saves the pits for me. She knows I like to sling them.

I sure have, I eat a ton of avocados! I agree with slypercio and Caldou; they are best to sling fresh as they lose weight when they dry out. Although overall they are a little too lightweight to sling comfortably, and don't fly straight.
There was a time when I was hoarding the pits in my freezer; I had like 50 or so, lol. I did a sling session aiming at a glass jar. The ones that did hit the jar smashed the pits into pieces. But one must have been in the freezer a while and froze rock solid because it actually smashed the jar. I was amazed!

Yep they definitely don't last very long. I only got a couple throws each pit before the broke into pieces.

Oh that's right, it is kinda cool when the two halves separate mid flight.
