Someone just emailed me and lives 15 minutes away! Hope to give him a call and sling some stones. Hope we don't kill eachother with wild shots.

Almulek (Ben) and I got together for a slingfest already. We shot video. Ben must have been busy with school and Holidays. I will look him up this week to see if he has the footage we can post up.

He was slinging across a lake and some hunters came out looking all around trying to figure out what was going on. He didn't hit anyone fortunately--He's the one who has slung some stones a quarter mile!

don't recall any video of that ever being uploaded to the site.
This also predated youtube

So any video clips were uploaded to the forum server.

But it does illuatrate that slingers tend to be solitary and reluctant to make an effort to meet anyone else.

I suspect I've met more forum members than anyone else, but I will always make an effort to meet someone, and usually feed them and often house them for a few days as well

Plus all my recent international holidays have been to sling or meet slingers.
Can't believe that wyoming slingfest was 13 years ago !
Best two weeks ever !

Pre-youtube? Wow, struggle to even remember that time now!

I've met quite a few forum members on my two Balearic International visits. Outside of that not yet though!
