Reply #15 - Jun 8^th, 2017 at 9:16pm I know some golf courses have an apparatus that measures the speed of a golf ball flying through it. It's about 2X3 meters, so a large target to throw a projectile through easily. A golf course might let you use it but it could cost money, probably cheaper than a radar gun though.

Reply #17 - Sep 7^th, 2017 at 7:08am david has a gadget with a fairly small gate that measure speed of a thing going through it. I'd suggest he bring it to mallorca next year - but that would involve an unselfish act on his part - so unlikely to happen

Reply #19 - Sep 7^th, 2017 at 9:26am Royal Armouries (UK) tried, but their slinging was so bad that they had to shoot close and slow-- hence v. slow speeds of shot. THey still published their results and it gets quoted a lot.
