I wonder too. Proper pouch placement and release would be critical. I think it would work best at longer distances, giving it some time to stabilize, fly very far with low drag.

Nice! I’d like to find the goose that laid that!

“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

Hah, I would personally ask the goose if they can lay in an Osmium, Iridium or Tungsten format. Failing this, I'll happily have one in lead.

P.S. have you thrown it yet?

so is it hollow that's why it's only 125g? and the center of mass is further in front compared to a homogenous egg? that's what you mean self stabilising?

I think so. It's definitely bottom heavy and stabilizes itself back up when pushed on its side. I have not thrown it yet, haven't had the opportunity. I don't want to lose it, that is for sure.
