Thanks Thearos for this picture.
I tested this morning about ten pebbles. Perfect for "old Indian hunting style". Holding the release cord between two fingers, no need for thumb.
Skin to hide for game, a peasant hat, no weapon, maybe, we have a poor citizen who goes to war with his hunting gear. Just an hypothesis.

I'll have to try that out.

Hi,
Does someone know the meaning of the text ?

Just my gesture from the drawing (others are probably possible) : rotate the pelvis (feet turn by themselves), keep the left arm aligned on the target and bring right hand next to left hand.
On about twenty shots this morning, I hite the target (a rock at thirty meters) twice with bad peebles. I lack training but I think there is potential with this technique.

Tell us your impressions.

I read on this forum the testimony of the "old Indian". I can't find it anymore but I'm not very good either. Obviously, there are similarities between his testimony and the drawing.

Here's Rueben's video about "old Indian".
http://www.youtube.com/user/ruebenschulz#p/a/u/0/Dqtv2o3T2AI

And now my hypothesis for the Greek picture.
The holding of the release cord is perfectly adapted and creates no problem.
I still have to train but there is potential.

So, you're basically a human trebuchet. Interesting..

Hmmm...wonder if you held a counter weight in the other hand.  It might just throw you off balance though.

There are commons points between the video and my photos despite a different starting position. Pelvic pivot, arm swing and no pre-rotation.
I still have details to work on but my first results are as follow : an estimated velocity of the projectile just under 100 kms/h (or about 30 meters per second, the range of my target but it's just a feeling) and improved accuracy.
Do these first results allow hunting ? I think so but I'm not hunter.
