There's been some interesting posts in the Slinging as a Sport section on what can be achieved with a sling. The Online Challenge post has a lot of pages but has some pretty amazing trick shots in there. A good place to start

Howdy from South Texas!

A sling is a lot more than a piece of string. It’s an extension of the body and a humbling challenger to one’s skill and ego. Stick around a while and give it a try. You’ll quickly understand why we’re so addicted Grin

“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

Hey guess I’m late to the party. But welcome from Texas. There sure are a lot of us down this way. We need a meet up or something.

And you guys should have one up there. Ratman, yourself, and I’m sure VetRyan would attend too being a fellow Jersey guy and loving that area as well.

So I’m not familiar with all the different acronyms and abbreviations for minerals. When you say slinging “d” what is that short for? I thought maybe diorite but I wasn’t aware it was up there.

Obviously not diamond, but potentially Dioptase? Or perhaps Dickite? Am I getting close?

Anyways, didnt realize we had such a rock hound. Glad you are here good sir. If you are ever in Texas and want to sling some “D” I will buy the drinks and you bring the “d”. Glad to have you!!
