Rat Man

Thunder Chief, I find that rotating with my arm instead of my wrist causes me to be more apt to loose the projectile prematurely. This is true with helicopter also. This of course doesn't mean that one of us is right and the other wrong, only that we're different, which is how it goes with slinging. As far as the number of rotations, I'm quite comfortable using Byzantine, which is just one rotation, or sometimes I'll rotate eight or nine times, not to build up power, but just to sort of get a feel for things and check things out. I'm feeling the weight of the stone in the pouch, aiming, going through the entire motion of the shot in my head, etc.. only the last rotation has any steam on it. Apache, with no rotations, is always an option also. It's necessary for me to shift between the different styles and variations of the different styles because I sling on the fly, with the Huskies in tow. I'm always coming across different obstacles that force me to alter my shot to sling around, over, or under them. I believe that this is good for my overall slinging.
