I know already what you wanted to say, because you said it:

These "factors" now are NOT at play because first added by you or your speculation, after I had explained, that they (*) have to stay out if you want to throw / slinging for longest distances.


Larrys throw or stone can't be flown further caused by spin, lift or magnus effect. But it can be flown further caused by higher density (or less drag).


So that distances that was named the "maxima for reach" by JudoP and was sorted to speciall muzzle speeds STAY THE MAXIMA (that can be nearly achieved only by using the most densitiy ammo)!


_________________________________________________________________________
* a view weeks ago I used the word "Vögel" like engl.: "birdies" - but that is the plural. The german singular is "vogel" (bird). But golfer does the same name using totally different from my using.

Such "vögel" or stones with lift - repectively the LIFT - first helps if you want to throw FAR, BUT NOT SO HIGH at the same time. So the lift is the best alternative to the very steep angle of 43°, but not the better solution for reaching the highest range. If you had to throw in a (very long) hall or under a bridge, than try the most possible longest distance with a "birdie" or lift, becauss that could compensate the missed height in (at?) free acting-space.

How to throw (steep or flat) is also a question of the intended "impact angle". Right?

... or like watching the archive / history of slinging.org opening the same topics anew up to a hundred times like: "What is your favourite slinging style?" or: "Have you ever thrown glands of lead?" ... "What shall we do with the drunken sailor" ... even if they sometimes get new names like "Preferences!" where nevertheless will be posted (nearly) the same answers again and again like the month or year before and before.

... OR LIKE WATCHING SCIENCE trying to bring some wishy-washy explanations / hypotheses at the point.

Or post a video of the feat? Thats my vote.

By the way, Preferences is a good thread. Not a single insult in the entire thing.

Sure - but also "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was a very popular / successfull movie (release) over decades (... maybe not because of the black knight scene. Don't know - I hated all monty python movies and watched not only one till the end).

By the way, Preferences released not only one image let alone a video or only a signature, authentication or other kinds of  promises / proofes. So vote for too there Wink

I'm going to reiterate my previous comment: Sigh.

how i learned to throw distance and accuracy was walking down trails with a bag of rocks and randomly stopping finding a tree and throwing at it so it was good for working on throwing straight then i started taking bits of old wood like a 4 by 4 or 2 by 4 cutting 2 foot sections and setting them on stumps or stuff and backing up try to knock them off i eventually moved up to trying to kill pest
