The question is, does the 20+10 have to be done with a blank diana? or should a small central dot be permissible?

I'm in favour of the latter, but it definitely makes it easier to get. (despite it still not being at all easy Wink

)

I bet if we all stopped using those cursed tennis balls, and used glandes instead, 20+10 would be on video in no time. Grin

I think we should test this… multiple slingers, two rounds of 50 shots at 13m on blank dianas and…let’s say a 6cm center dot (about the size of a tennis ball). That’s a total of 200 shots per slinger, and blank vs dots should alternate

… let’s also test the “tennis balls stink” theory… how about same test but with tennis balls vs cricket balls on the target of choice?

It'll be a little bit before I can do it, but I'll definitely contribute a data point. I might do an ice ball vs. tennis ball for my round though.

Anything that’s significantly denser than a tennis ball should be fine. Cricket balls are not as easy to find as tennis balls here. Ice balls are probably a better idea all around.

Ideally I would want to test a 65g tennis ball vs a 65g steel or lead glande, but I’m ok with changing both mass and density and still calling it “science”

also… flip a coin to decide which variable you start with so there’s less chance for bias based on the order.

What is a blank diana?

A diana that has nothing on it. A blank plate.

The test is to see if a score will be higher if the diana has a smaller focus point. NOOC suggested a 6 cm dot. So you would do the round once with a blank diana, and again with diana that has a 6 cm dot in the middle.
