Nice slinging!  Great whip crack!  Smiley

Is there particular situation or projectile that you like switching to the longer sling for?  Or just use either whenever you feel like it?

Those whip cracks make me almost want to make a sling with whip crackers rather than a frayed parachute. My slings usually make a low pitch thwump sound on the crack, but I also wanted them to be stealthy. Now I want that twang sound haha. Might bust out the kevlar cord for the tip of my next sling.

Thanks guys.

Joe, I like to switch slings depending both on the range and ammo. In the video I was slinging tennis balls which with my short sling releases too late, but this longer sling releases them almost as good as stones. I otherwise don't use long slings at this range, I like to use it at 60m and more at area targets or trees with 50-100g stones, My short sling I use at "0"-30m at targets and up to 80m at area targets with 100-300g stones. If going for as much distance as I can get I whip out my superlong sling, which will be starring in the next video.

Duck, go for it, cracking slings are fun! Especially great for scaring away people you don't want to hit but they keep walking into your slinging range or animals. I'd like to see what beauty of a sling you come up with!

With that level of accuracy you would do well in the Internationals. I like the atlatl too!

   Very unique style but obviously it works quite well for you.
