Steve is currently the mod for the: Here Be Maths - section of the forum.
He's also on a backpacking adventure around bits of europe
(no he wasn't anywhere near notre dame when it 'spontaneously caught fire' ) Last few days he's been staying at casa Aardvark inbetween visiting a couple of london museums and walking the length of hadrians wall.
Thoroughly nice guy - only eats once a day, which has helped my diet somewhat lol
Here's steve learning to make sausages
(anyone who knows me will understand this is something I get most visitors to do)For a first time he was pretty good. That strip on the draining board was 90% stuffed and twisted by steve. And getting them that evenly stuffed and twisted with a collagen casing - is not as easy as he made it look !
Then he's in the stocks at somewhere who's location can be revealed by solving the pictorial clues in the 3rd picture
He says one of his friends will get it straight away - so let's see how the slinging.org brains trust stacks up to museum curators
More about where we were, when someone works it out
we also took the poly target for it's first workout.
It's good, stable (considering it was on an angle on a slope, leaning forward) The aluminium disc makes a fantastic CLANG when you hit it with a tennis ball.
My target sling was a little short for 20 metres. But at 15 - mostly what we sling tennis balls at in mallorca) I had several excellent sets including one of 4 dianas and 1 quadro.
The netting, just stops things dead and the frame shrugged off any direct hits.
Can't see any reason it won't work just as well with clay.
The tennis ball picker uppers were as good as I hoped. Even in ankle length grass.
Here's a little video of steve hitting the diana at 20 metres.
