Great video. Love that tool you used for making plastic cordage. +1 for the trauma shears as well.

I love medical shears! Did you know the TSA will actually let you carry them on an airplane?

I am a little bummed about giving up on the plastic cordage before figuring out that I really just needed to wet the corn husks, but I wanted to get my entry posted, so I opted not to keep filming.

@Joe LOL! My dog was almost as confused as I was!

These are the ones I use at work. If your other ones ever break I can vouch that these work very well.

I’d say nice slinging there Morphy, but I’d be lying Grin

Love it!

Oh no! That’s not it at all. It’s MY lack of skills at lying that holds me back, but it’s not a lie to say that your ziplock rock-chucking skills will beat my cantaloupe sling powers any day of the week.

You know, it just occurred to me that you might supercharge your trash sling if you plugged it into Vet’s thumb plane!

I'm still upset that, first you cut the tab off my SITH, and then after using it yourself, you just threw it in the trash. Smiley

Actually what I was going to do is send it to you a couple days before your real SITH sling and pretend I was actually serious lol. But no that's too far even for me.

I had more hope at first. My shots weren't too far off. Well some. But as it went on it became laughably bad. I need practice . Cry

Your second and third shots trying to beat the falling rock were pretty darn close. Good attempt on the trash sling too. You might have been the first to pull stuff out of the trash as opposed to just using stuff that was going to go in.

Thanks Joe. Well my first shot with the normal sling I actually had a bit of hope that I might get a lucky hit. But that was not to be. I always have fun slinging though. Regardless of how bad I may be. Grin

I thoroughly enjoyed the title, despite it being false. No one would hit the target with those garbage stones.

Have you ever noticed that your power-pull (power-stroke or whatever you call it) is almost exactly like your over-shoulder throw? The one video that you just did the one throw and then decided that, "yeah, that was ok, and gall darn it, I'm a good person". Anyway, just an observation.

Ive been learning a lot recently from you all. What you saw in that video was not "quite" how I throw. I realized that afterwards. Reverting to bad habits and all that. Can't wait to get some decent ammo made and start practicing again.
