Summer 2020    events include:  javelin, shepherd sling, marathon, water bag relay, and more!      Sling accuracy at 20m.  also distance challenge,  and speedloading!

Please make some videos of it. Sounds very interesting  :D

Aye! should be good! We use 160 gram lacrosse balls, so with bounce and roll we cast ~300 yards! Being round, they fly quite straiqht! I practice 30 yards from a concrete wall, a perfect shot lands back at my feet. We wanted to avoid metal weapons, but axe throwing is popular in bars here.

If only Finland was a little bit closer to Colorado...

for distance, would make more sense to measure to where they initially land - no idea what a lacrosse ball is like. But that would be pretty easy with tennis balls.

With bounce and roll, you'd probably be best off with a moderately long sling and a really good underhand throw as the spin of the ball would then work to your advantage.
Though would depend on the terrain as well.

Sounds excellent though - any idea on the sort of numbers of competitors you expect to get ?

we are alongside a celtic festival, they get 50k.  Speedloading at standard 10m target...fastest five stones(lined up on a table) to hit the board. normal point system, five casts. must have all hits! 8-)  surface= soccer fields,  people argue less, and utilize different styles when you let it roll to a stop, for the distance casts. Some guys drill it flat and bouncy! ;D

Is there a flyer or any more information?

Awesome stuff- will aim for Guam representation to be there!

PM sent.  I am not too far from Colo. Springs.  Do you need hep organizing this?  Have you considered adding archery?  Maybe a Paleo-Decathlon?

I'm assuming this event is not/did not happen?

Did the event happen?
