Rainy Day Slinging

New video! Thought I would compare Turkey Throw and Greek style, but was forced to do it indoors. Still turned out quite nicely. I really need to keep track of my shots though. I just start slinging and count them in the edit leading to not so useful stats... Still, it was fun! Cheesy

Nice!  That could have been an interesting idea for an indoor challenge.  Getting a hit on a target with several different styles in a row.  Although maybe we can keep that on the back burner until the next time everyone is stuck at home for reasons beyond our control. Smiley

I'm still super behind on challenges Cheesy I think I have a good piece of wood to try the nail challenge but filming it might be a bit interesting. I REALLY don't want to smash that camera...

This is what most movie reviews are missing. Lots of profanity. Well done on the video, your Greek won out it looks like.

It definitely did. I don't know what it is but it really seems to be by far my most accurate throwing style. I've been taking occasional pot shots because I still have the target up, and I've hit almost every time I've tried Greek. I've been thinking I should change my name to Kick the Greek just to be even more confusing than I already am.
"So you're Greek?"
"English actually."
"Where in England do you live?"
"...Helsinki..."

Fig 8 has been good too. Kind of surprised myself because 'm super out of practice with it. I should practice that more once the rain has quit and I get more free time (it's still been raining today). Of course it can all be different once I'm back outside. Slinging at such a short distance doesn't say much.
