I would not want to be on the receiving end of that! Anyone want to estimate the energy in one of those ice blocks?

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

That's an interesting thought. When I have a chance I can try to get a distance measurement (as close as I can) and a frame count from the recording.

I love when projectiles explode. If you could somehow make ice balls instead of ice blocks it might be easier to be more accurate. A block is a tough shape to sling.

Oh, I had that thought too.
I need to be able to hit the target first though. Cheesy

Thanks Rat Man! Although you must not see most of the videos I post. Ice balls are what I use 90% of the time. I make ice balls with 2.5 inch spherical molds. Great for whiskey, and slinging. Wink

Here's one with some good smashing: https://youtu.be/uHQBpM0MB3c

You need to get a balaclava to really gain the powers of Timpa.

That's an interesting thought. When I have a chance I can try to get a distance measurement (as close as I can) and a frame count from the recording.

My best measurement of the distance was 39 ft. I pulled up the original recording and counted 15 frames from release to impact (this was the hit on the right side that bounced into the air). So I would estimate 78 feet/sec (23.7 m/s).

But one observation: When you start, your right foot is next to the ice. It loses power. When you start, swing your hands back. See here (in time 1:24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nIzS6nzsDg
