Let's see, his main points are:
!. Shorter slings are more accurate but less powerful. I have found that to be generally true. As with throwing with lesser strength and more control.
2. Split pouch is best. Again, generally true, but...lots of other factors are involved, like style and ammo.
3. Uniform ammo. True, but with enough practice general weights and shapes can be used.
4. Pick one or possibly two styles and stick with it or them. Yes.
5. Practice. Lots of practice. Yes. Unless you are one of the few that pick up a sling and hit with it, us mere mortals have to practice regularly.
6. Aim. Aim small, miss small. Pick a point, the smaller the better. Don't aim at the whole. That works for me.
7. Concentration. There have been a number of threads about Zen and slinging rocks. And about how your brain is a really good ballistic calculator, as long as you keep your grubby fingers out of it. So, yes, again.
