Slinging after dark

A silly little experiment for y’all…
I borrowed a night vision monocular, 3D-printed a phone mount, and was experimenting with filming with NV while slinging in very low light.
I also had a UV flashlight pointing at the target so I could see where shots landed… overall it worked pretty well!
Videos with and without the night vision here:

“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

I like it. I imagine this would be a useful way to practice... less sensory input, less distractions.

It amazes me as to how dark it can be and one can still hit the target. I practice after dark all the time it helps to build muscle memory, my target has 2 distinct sounds(metal diana rings, wooden board thuds) so I know if I hit or not. And I usually just shot from 13m(44ft). I did a spoof video where I taped a laser pointer to my finger so I had a laser sighted shepherds sling and shot a diana with the first shot. Funny thing is the ball hit right where the laser last was, here is a link to the video enjoy.
