well, i'm new to the site... it's pretty cool...
i made two slings a few days ago... one is a two cord style of hemp with a leather pouch... the other is of the three string variety with the same materials... (i have found that the three string works much better for me so far...)
after getting the hang of it, so to speak, i like the underhand vertical release with one revolution. i estimate my range to be between 100 and 300 feet with decent sized stones a little bigger than golf balls, AND it is really fun slinging in the snow and then trying to find the used ammo again, hehheh.
but, to the main point, i went to the store today and got a great deal on some AMMO... golf balls, tennis balls, and [insert drumroll] WATER BALLOONS!!!
tomorrow i will go to the park with my sister and we will have fun chasing golf balls down in the snow, and see how interesting water balloons will be... i think they will be good for summer!
anyway, thanks for the cool site, and hopefully slinging will become a little more popular!
