depends. I would say at least 250 for precision and well over 300 for range. That is about 600-700 at least ( i try to be as quick as possible and have a lot of stones to sling (well over 100000) But i often teach friend how to sling and I do less shots on those days (about 300) ( i try to reach a military level in slinging, but dont have the whole day to practise. When i have much time, i sling about 5 hours wich is about 1200 shots, because i work on range more than precision)

Crazy amount of throws! I dont think I have ever gone past 500 in a day.

At that rate you'll be a professional in no time at all! Grin

Thanks. I do have a lot of time and a lot of stones. I would say that i am already (after less than 6 months) good in slinging (even did some duck hunting). But as soon as covid ends, I will not be able to train that much (training 5 times a week in parcour and martial arts)

Thanks. As i have said, I dont really experiment a lot and try to be quick. When i do experiments, my amount of throws drops quickly. I mainly do sidearm slinging with 1-3 spins and dont change my slinging style. ( as Bruce Lee once said: "Dont fear the man that did 10000 kicks once, fear the man that did one kick 10000 times." Well I am the guy that did one technique a few thousand times.
Because of this, i have good muscle memory and can sling almost any stone and be accurate with it.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Faster results tend to lead more people to try and then stick with it. The bow is also a lot safer to use in groups. Alot safer lol. So that’s a big problem too I suspect.
