Since there's a slinging Demo I think it deserves a sticky.

I'm going to go (80% sure) and am +1. Anybody organizing a slinging competition? Seems an obvious thing to do. I mean, we need, what, some kind of target (probably a plywood rabbit or something to go with the theme) and a chalk line on the ground?

Is any sling-person organizing anything?
