Great video! The breakdown of the spread is really good to see. I'm going to have to get a camera and do some proper filming sometime.

I have to say as well I'm getting really jealous of all these slinging videos coming out recently. It's well below 0C down to -17C at night over here with snow on the ground and it's been cold enough that the snow is super dry and powdery so, even if it was possible to comfortably stand outside for any length of time, I can't even sling snowballs. Starting to get a slinging itch...

KTO, ice cubes, freeze them overnight and throw them the next morning.

Sarosh, the extreme rights look like either a bad throw or a much different weight projectile.

Same for the extreme lefts, except for me, if I bend at the waist during the throw before I release, I go way left.  I try to keep erect.  I don't get as much power but what I get is pretty good.

I do have the ball ice cube mold which makes good ammo but it's really too cold to even be outside and sling. If I wear enough clothes to be comfortable I don't have enough movement to sling comfortably and if I wear less I freeze :/

so you like the groupings Smiley

@kicktheotter don't worry i lost this weekend to rain. make slings, drill, and watch videos Tongue

@Bill Skinner ,extreme rights are bad grip on the sling or different weight as you said
lefts are easier to get, many things can lead to them.
