Some more of my target slinging

So I made a video from what I recorded of my latest two slinging sessions. This one is more about the target practice than destruction as the previous one was about.

Sorry for it not being the long range slinging. How I execute it is still work in progress.

Great stuff! You have a real powerful throw.

Nice slinging, my man! I really like seeing other slinger's styles. Those were some pretty large stones, it seemed like.

I have been trying to figure out a good form for my own throws so far. Every time i try to step into a throw it feels all finicky, and like I'll whack myself. Also for the life of me I can't figure out the figure 8. Keep whacking my shoulderblades trying to do it. I usually just stand similar to a baseball pitcher, but had to cut out the step for the reason stated above. Got any tips to help find a good throw position?

Great shooting! You really put your whole body into those shots!

Thanks Kick, I tried to hold my power back on this one to get better accuracy.
Thanks IG, those stones were two of my favourite stones for accuracy one being 257g and other 299g and one clay slingstone about 110g. Much bigger than what my friend slings.

Those are about my favorite size of rocks as well. I find for myself, lighter ammo gains too much height when I try to put any power behind it. I can toss balls casually all day and hit my target, but if I try to put even a tiny bit of zest on it my accuracy struggles height wise. I know I still have a lot to learn. Like why I can hit a dangling hose end at my house over and over. Yet when I go to the desert and find a busted old tv I can't hit the screen from 15 feet lol. I was trying to go full power to see how my clay glandes would hold up, but I only got a few glancing blows off the frame

Duck I don't know. I use what came to me naturally with practice. My only suggestion is putting your leg forward while winding up your hand for the actual throw. But I doubt you did not know this already.

Yeah I figure it is something I will have to learn by feel haha. Yeah I usually start with my front foot facing the target, then sometimes slowly step and crouch before releasing. It is strange, up close and with minimal force my accuracy is good, then at farther ranges with more power I can pull a decent group. I might be psyching myself out trying to throw hard close, but I just feel like a drunk trying to tightrope walk, when throwing hard up close lmao

I was experiencing something similar in the summer when I was slinging for just a few months. I might even have somewhere video of myself destroying my standart Franta target from that time. On that one it should be easy to see that my form was still work in progress.

Never seen a style quite like that and I really enjoy watching it. It reminds me of Mike Tyson stooping down in preparation for a big uppercut. Very cool. And yes you.got some serious power going on.

Nice slinging! Great whip crack!
Is there particular situation or projectile that you like switching to the longer sling for? Or just use either whenever you feel like it?
