How to sling - beginner to advanced

I just thought it might be useful to have a video with beginner to more advanced slinging concepts in one place. I used a lot of concepts from things I've learned from others here, (e.g. the foxtail toy from Jaegoor)

Same here.
I also need to learn how to control curve while slinging. I saw your videos on it a while ago, but I haven't had the chance to give it much of a try yet.

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"

Excellent video IG! I wouldn't have guessed that all the topics you covered would fit into a video that short.

My outlook on life is Aristotalean; on seeing an Acorn I see a potential oak tree rather than Plato's view that it is a failed copy.

Nice video, I think there's a lack of accessible slinging tutorials that present all the information up front for noobs. It could always be better but this is a great start

Nice video! I really liked how you offered several ways to practice timing without full power. I learned to sling as a kid, got really good at it in college then took a few decades off. Now I am trying to regain my former skills without injuring my (old) shoulder.
I went ahead and binged on your channel. I especially liked "copying other slinger's styles". You do a good job of pointing out differences without a hint of criticism. Thanks!
