Here is the clip. The scene starts around 1 minute and 20 seconds. This is within the first 5 minutes of the movie. I was watching it last night, during our Christmas dinner, and its the first time i ever noticed it. Linus uses his blanket, as a 1 piece sling, and hits the target first shot. Has anyone else noticed it? |

I must have seen it a dozen times but never noticed it was slinging. Good catch.

The last time I watched this was before I started slinging. I didn't remember this scene was there.

Don't be so quick to dismiss things. There can always be a possibility or method you didn't consider. There was a guy here once that was using long, wide strips of some kind of cloth (maybe it was burlap, don't remember). But they looked much more like a scarf than a sling. He was slinging with them though. I'm curious about your test. Was it with a blanket? If so, how big was it? |

i used multiple blankets, but dont know how big they were. One of them was as big as you can see in the video |

Look at the way he points both his toes and his non-dominant hand at the target. Clearly the animators knew a little something about slinging with a blanket.
@MikeG did you use an underhand style like Linus? |

i used every style i knew, and that includes underhand |

Keep practicing, u can do it.

that sounds like im a bad slinger. The use of a blanket is not controllable. The ammo is caught by the blanket and cant exit the "sling" properly, its almost impossible to shoot in the right direction |

I have noticed it. It seems a little impossible to do in real life, but sometimes you just do that one unbelievable shot. And remember, he used his lucky blanket...

He’s also using a reverse hammer grip, which may be the best way to release a blanket. |

He is just a BA.

I remember the scene (watch that every Christmas), but that never caught that. Very good observation. And a reverse grip is definitely possible: https://youtu.be/cFBfAJpdM0g. MikeG wrote on Dec 26th, 2021 at 1:39pm:
vetryan15 is not intending to call you a bad slinger (I'm inferring, he can correct me if I'm wrong). The meaning is that few things (when it comes to slinging) are not as impossible as it may seem. I agree that a blanket is going to be far from ideal. It may need a certain size or shaped projectile. Or twisted up in a certain way. But at most one should only claim 'I could not find a way to make this work'. And then others can agree, or attempt it themselves. |

I have never used a blanket to sling with but I have used a towel and that did work. I imagine with practice a blanket could work as long as it wasn't too big a blanket.

Does Linus sling sidearm ?
I've tried slinging snowballs with a scarf and it's almost impossible |
Title: Re: Sling scene in Charlie Brown Christmas Post by NooneOfConsequence on Jan 1st, 2022 at 9:27pm
It looks like underhand to me.
|
Title: Re: Sling scene in Charlie Brown Christmas Post by Thearos on Jan 5th, 2022 at 8:28pm
I wonder if it isn't a low sidearm.

It's a baby blanket, so it's not much bigger than a beach towel. If you pre-fold it to be narrow and bound (maybe cheat with some rubber bands) it should work.
I'll try it with a soccer ball and a beach towel. |
