Quote:Yes, indeed, a longer pouch must be used if you use a wide grip. BUT you have to use a wide grip to pitch ellipsoid glandes point-first.
A longer pouch means a slower snap because of increased air drag. How much of that speed do you recover at the target because you pitched the glande point-first??
It's all a big puzzle. mgreenfield
You must be right! I use a very narrow grip and my stones come out travelling perpendicular to the long axis of the ovoid. This DOES increase the effective calibur at impact.. something I rather like.
I'm probally too old to learn how to throw football spirals.
I am not comfortalbe withoug TWO knots between my fingers, even the though the release cord is bound to my wrist or other fingers, to me this is just a saftey so the sling does not leave my control.
You don't recover speed at the target. For close range, you want the broadside impact. Penetration is not a problem in my league.
