Hello from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (Read 628 times)

Valleyreb Novicius Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 1	Hello from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia Mar 4^th, 2025 at 1:52pm Got interested in slinging when I lived in Mexico and saw cattle being herded with a sling! The vaquero would sling a rock out to the lead cow and hit them on the opposite side of where he wanted them to go, while riding horseback! Something you don’t see everyday

That would be amazing! Wonder if there's video of that anywhere.

Howdy from Texas!
How do you like that wool sling? I’ve heard they have really loud crackers.

“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 these unholy hordes. I shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler (not the real Jesus)
