Well, I don't know of anyone that slings food on a regular basis and I would think that most people will probably be singing golf balls, tennis balls, rocks, clay glands, squash balls, or
maybe lead. The farthest appart are lead and tennis balls but I think the lead guys (which there aren't a whole lot of) would just take a few steps back.
I think as long as everyone records the specifics it won't be a big issue and beside the whole point is just to see how you are coming along compared to others. I was just talking to a guy about how (modern) archery competitions have really degraded, it used to be just fun in the woods and trick shots but now guys are buying the knew ulta light space age compounds and range finders, adjusting their sights for 10 min before they actually take the shot, and it just becomes way to technical.
Let's not make slinging that way, I don't think we could anyway even if we tried because of the general inconsitency sling accuracy. But I think the end reasult is (if I figured this out correctly):
1. Baleric style target (can be made of various material)
2. Any style you prefer.
3. Any sling you prefer.
4. Any reasonable ammo (nothing rocket powered
).
5. Distance of 10-20-30 Yards
6. 1 point for hitting the square and 2 points for the circle.
7. Record details about your slinging and score in your post on the Competition thread (has not yet been created).
8. Score is total number of points out of 20 throws, perfect score is 40.
Competition will be mainly held here on slinging.org but live competitions are encouraged as well, details about longer range slinging and distance throwing can be figured out at a later time.
If there is anything that's just really wrong here let me know and we can tweek it a bit.
