It's been a long while since I posted anything. I was having some fun after a tennis game. Aiming at the middle strap of the tennis net. I think I have gotten better with accuracy compared to my previous videos years ago! This was may be at 80% of full power. Hope you'll like it!

I am ok but have been stuck in my tiny apartment for the last 36hrs. Lucky I still have power, water and internet connection. Some of my friends aren't so lucky.

First shot was on target but curved ?? Nice vid.

Mersa, I play tennis a lot so it is the ammo I have most access to. I am a little more accurate slinging stones though, I think. Blue Raja, I'll try to post more videos soon!

It's the way the sling drops to shoulder height for the actual throw. Glad the typhoon did not get you !

I used to keep the sling overhead but the shoulder gets tired after a while. I have since modified my arm position. I also reload with the right hand now. A little slower in reload but allows me to throw with more power and accuracy. Morphy, good to hear from you too, buddy!

I usually use a bag call the tennis sling hopper.
In the video that started this thread though, I just had a tennis ball trolley next to me...
