It was scary seeing that fist sized rock coming right at the camera!  What if you had gotten really lucky/unlucky and nailed the camera?

Loved the sound it made, though.

“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

Hmm, observing myself my technique is not so good. I need to stretch my arm more.

At a short distance like 5-10 meters pretty straight, afterwards lob, but it depends on your strength

A destruction video would be amazing. Wouldnt mind seeing the pinhole glasses design either but now im just asking for too much. I wonder if the increased focus from pinhole glasses would benefit form enough to in a round about way increase power as well. Since power is mostly from correct form rather than brute strength. Would make for a very interesting video.

Slinging big stones is quite fun. Good view of it coming towards the camera too. What length of sling were you using?
