Welcome from Finland! Be prepared to miss a lot Cheesy Slingshots are thousand times easier to aim but I find slings more satisfying because you have to work for that hit.

Hi pmatty77,
Welcome to the Forum.
What part of NW England are you in?
Have you had any progress with your slinging?
Have you got somewhere to sling?

Howdy from Texas! I can’t wait to hear how your journey goes. Slings are very different from slingshots. Kick is right about accuracy but slings are more versatile too. You can control the spin of a projectile, launch in any direction (sometimes on purpose), and throw virtually anything that fits in the pouch.

“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

Always good to see another British slinger, and from my corner of the country (originally anyway).
