However, your sling couldn't be much longer than ankle to fingertips or you would hit the ground during the throw.

Reply #2 - Jan 20^th, 2017 at 4:15pm we can probably sling overhand apache style, at narrow spaces as thin as we are. but the question says any style without nuissance for example how much space per slinger in : a war formation,barracks facilities,throwing range etc

You can line people up very close without danger of hitting the guy next to you. I'm guessing thats whats going on here...

Reply #4 - Jan 22^nd, 2017 at 5:28am Correct me if I'm wrong but less than 1.8 well maybe 2 meters wide per person would suffice to sling horizontal styles even with longer slings. Someone would have to record themselves perfectly straight from behind in line with the target and measure how much space they would need to each side to sling uninterrupted.
