Hi everyone,

I've been slinging since last summer having just picked up a survival handbook and seen one in there. After a little web searching I found out there were some more crazy nuts just like me!

I'm into ancient history big time, especially bronze age, Greek and Roman - and recently joined a Roman re-enactment group on Hadrian's Wall.

I was so pleased to find the aetcles on this site, especially with the video clips - now I don't feel bad about using the under-arm technique which I had read was a non-starter and useful only for height! IT is my preferred method.

I spent the day on the beach with my son practicing range under-arm and also with my new staff sling.

I make my slings from woven leather thong. My staff sling is a leather cup - an exact replica of a sling pouch found at Vindolanda Roman fort on the Wall. It can loft some pretty big stones!

Anyway... nice to be here, and its nice to know there's other mad guys around. 

Cheers!

Howdie!!

I wish I had a beach with nice smooth stones!
My son in 11 and loves to sling too. We go to a concrete plant near our home. We named our target George the Roman. His picture is on the gallery.

Glad to have you with us nuts
