Pykrete!

Here it is guys!  Kudos to darksidedsam for giving me the idea.

Make sure you have a bowl of popcorn ready.  Both of these videos came out quite a bit longer than I wanted.  But I liked the content and didn't want to cut them down any more.

Here's some stats.  I'm about 52 feet (15.8 m) from the target.  I believe the targets are set up with (very close to) the correct balearic target measurements.  But the center is just paint.  I'm using what has pretty much become my go to sling for target throwing.  Just paracord with a leather pouch, but I love it.  The length about 30 in. (76 cm).  Enjoy!

Some dang fine slinging! I think the pykrete is a cool idea. It sure held up well.

Damn good slinging Joe and great videos! You should definitely come to Mallorca at some point, but only if you join Team Finnlandia Cheesy

I was surprised.  I knew most of it wouldn't break based on my earlier test.  But I figured I would have at least one that cracked or something.  Not a single break.

Definitely getting there.  When I first mentioned the indoor slinging messing up my head, I said it as a joke.  But now I'm starting to believe it did.  Slinging outside is feeling normal again, which is awesome.
