I'm thinking about setting up a slinging meetup for the Dallas/Fort Worth area if there's enough people willing to participate.

?? what is area ?? Austin maybe.Need a long lead time for travel planning.

my dad lives in highland park by SMU. and my mom lives in wylie by plano and sachse

I'm currently trying to find a good slinging location suitable for a meet up.
So far Veteran's Park in Arlington has piqued my interest. Not only does it have the typical amenities a park has to offer, it also has an 18-hole Disc Golf course, so the park is rather big. The downside of using a park is that participants will have to use tennis balls if the meet is held there. (However, a round of sling golf may be rather fun )


Also, how does March 12, 2011 at 11AM or Noon sound? (Assuming we meet at Veteran's Park)
It's a Saturday, so I figured that most will not be working or otherwise free that day.

I'm so jealous... Take some pics. 

Okay, sounds good.  I put the date on the calendar.  Lake Grapevine stones are generally irregular, but one can find a few decent ones...or sling some good round stones you take out there and launch "out to sea" for distance.  Sometimes there's a log or something off shore that can make a good target.  There are also some areas along the shore that serve like a natural backstop for trying out lead, concrete, or steel ammo and having a reasonable chance of finding it again.  The only real issue is the water level.  If it is high, there is little or no shoreline and the weeds can be a real obstacle...but if the water level is down, there can be a beautiful pebbly beach that is ideal for slinging.  Tends to be best in the winter and early spring before the new plant growth takes off, but again the lake level is the decisive factor.  And the best area for access, parking, and no people is the south side of the lake at the north end of White Chapel Road off 114.  Another good spot is a mile east of there at the end of East Bob Jones Road.  Needless to say, I have slung a lot out there and used to live walking distance from both spots.

I can bring a lot of tennis, golf, and lacrosse balls - enough for anyone who doesn't have enough of his/her own.  I could also bring my Balearic type target - works best if we have a tennis court or similar fence behind it.  Looking forward to seeing you.  We still need to set a time and place.

Sounds good.  So, we will meet at noon near the monument or the [under repair] playground. (which happens to be near the parking lot closest to W. Arkansas Ln.).

Anyone else joining Donnerschlag and me (4accord)???  Let us know so we can watch out for you.
