New target

My sister in law was going to throw this away... Now it’s a tennis ball target in my yard. I need to measure it to see how the size compares to a Balearic target.

That's perfect! Don't throw too hard or you might pop the stitches of the baskets loose.

Awesome! I'm curious about the height too. Like if the field goal at the top is close to what a headshot might be.

Found it on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/GoSports-Challenge-Football-Footballs-Scoreboard/dp/B07QK...
It says the area is 31”x37”, and the center hole is 7.4” across

It was pretty well used when I got it, but it withstands full-power hits from a tennis ball at 10yds without trouble. I’ll try to post video if I get a chance.
... and yes. If you can hit the top hole, you can hit a skull. Height is reasonable, and the hole is only 6” across according to the Amazon Q&As. I’ll try to measure it tomorrow.

Ok... I measured the target myself today: 30”x37” total. Center hole is 12”, and the others are 9”.

For reference...

A standard target is 47” square with a 20” Diana in the center.

It’s pretty portable in the bag. You could walk with it to a park fairly easily as long as you aren’t walking for miles.

As promised, I shot some footage so you can see the target in action.

Ooh! Do I get to name it? So far my technique has been called “inconsistent,” and the “you didn’t even need a sling for that” style
The best description by slinging.org standards is probably Byzantine, but I like the idea of getting to name my own style, so I’m going to call this the “Wild NOOC Chicken Wing” style since the elbow goes up and down from throw to throw
