I was able to do some more slinging at a target using a similar style to the aerial target video.  I crunched the numbers and the estimate I got for the first hit was somewhere between 5 and 6 meters.  For the second can with a lower trajectory, I calculated around 6 meters or maybe a bit more.

There are a few things to keep in mind.  This was all based on my ability to duplicate the throw speed (which I didn't do exactly), calculate speed based on frame count (which could be off if the distance wasn't perfect), and allow for all the times I said 'It's close enough' when measuring, etc.  So these calculated estimates could be a little bit off.  But in general I think they're pretty fair.

I would have thrown the cans farther if I could.  But they were only around 110 grams.  Which it pretty light weight for something of that size, and they just don't fly very far.  I was throwing them as far as I could while still leaving myself in a position to sling at them.

why does he have to explain himself?  and who started poopy with the competition?  let's just explain everything with fun.  naturally.  it's just a hobby.  five minutes later and two forums further you are the Endzeit Profi Slinger with a no budget sling that you sell for 80 euros.  but hey  it's just a joke

Hi TOMBELAINE.  I did notice that you haven't posted for a while.  I miss your insight and interesting thoughts on different topics.

To answer your question, yes, I think everyone should feel free to express themselves here.  And that includes Jaegoor and the comments he made.  (On a side note, Jaegoor and I had an exchange of a private message.  There is no animosity between us.  At least not from my side.  I don't think from his either.)

But I think there are a couple reasons why his first post in this thread got the pushback that it did.  The first sentence is just mockery of another slinger.  I do have to rely on Google translate so it might not be exactly correct, but there were terms like 'nonsense' and 'joke' coming back from Google.  Jaegoor is absolutely free to have his own opinions, but I'm not sure what purpose this serves.  I think for a lot of the people here, a comment like that just goes against the idea of all of us supporting each other.

And the second issue with his comment is there were statements which were just false.  He stated that the target was right in front of my nose, and only a sling length away.  I think it's pretty obvious from the video that those assessments are not accurate, and I did what I could to approximate the distance.  That estimated distance was 5 - 6 meters.  While this distance might not be a challenge for Jaegoor, that hit was definitely not a certainty for me.  Not with a target of that size flying through the air.  I think I was slinging well that day and was able to get a couple hits.

So ultimately, should Jaegoor (or anyone else for that matter) be allowed to post his thoughts openly?  Yes, I completely agree with that.  And if something is posted that others don't agree, should they feel free to push back?  Yes, I completely agree with that too.

I did this with a parachute. It works. But the parachute is destroyed with each hit.

Wow!  If that was an independent idea, that's one heck of a coincidence.

I agree with you.  If the idea came from your post, credit should have been given.  It is a great idea.  I'll be trying it as soon as I can.  My yard is still too wet and muddy from all the melted snow.
