I remember morphy had videos about the Turkey throw back in the 2013 or 14, long before 2018 when RS joined, he propagated it as a new style he thought of for hunting, holding the rock behind his back with one quick overhand sweep throw. Morphy could you chime in?
Morphy's youtube videos are set to private or deleted, I can no longer find his video where he showed it
Hah! That’s when you know you’ve been here awhile. I had forgotten all about the “Overshoulder” throw. That was the name that we as a forum eventually voted on. Two ways to do it, hold it behind your back if you wish but easier to use a correctly sized sling and just sling it over your shoulder and wait for game. Then it’s just a normal throwing move.
I used it to hunt birds that were in large brush piles once. Never actually hit one but it was more proof of concept that it functions in the way I was looking for. Works very well to get the shot off instantly. You can walk with your arm up and the sling behind your back so long as you have a reasonable idea what brush your game is hiding in.
Again though this works better if you don’t use your other hand to hold the pouch behind your back. Otherwise it would be really awkward, at least while moving around.
