Here's a challenge. Take a fish with a sling and stone.


Does the species matter? Because my local supermarket has tilapia cheap right now.

What's a spiral shot? You mean rifled throws? or using a jagged rock so it spirals through the air?

It’s not that difficult. This sling uses 425 paracord... 3mm diameter. I believe I mailed one of them to you around a year ago. You should try for yourself and post a video  Grin

surely a rifled thro is just the missile spinning ?
Tha's all the rifling on a gun barrl does, is spin the bullet.

If you want a challenge - throw something from a sling without spin Smiley
Much harder.

Great throw there Mersa!  I think that's another one that should go into the "unicorn" bag.  I am going to give all those another try.  Maybe that will be my time filler next year.

Na it’s not that difficult. Basically it’s just setting it up right .
You did the same shot basically with the paper targets?

This thread has definitely given us both a lot of cool challenges.
I actually was playing around and caught a tennis ball in a closed sling , I tryed to do it again and get it on film but I couldn’t do it again, I’ll keep at it here and there but like you say between all the challenges like 1min can and pumpkin I’ll have enough to practice.

Did this the other day , I made a setup for something else special but my reload time needs LOTS of work
