Posts: 3832 PA, USA	Egg Challenge 2026 Mar 25^th, 2026 at 11:40pm We made it to Spring (on the northern half of the planet anyway) so let's get the Egg Challenge posted. I think everyone knows the routine. Grab your sling, smash an egg, post a video with your victorious hit! Ready...set...GO!!!

I want to understand how we shoot, the distances, etc. Unfortunately, I can't see your videos on YouTube yet. I'm in. I'll try to make a video))

Rule no.1: Have fun!

I don´t know of any other rules

. I adjusted the size of the egg to my ability of slinging. So I made two big eggs out of clay.

Where did you get the net?

I got it second hand. It was a big tent (like in the picture attached). But setting the tent up takes a few minutes, and it likes to fall over and the floor of the tent was falling apart, so I just use the net.

I made it hollow, so it was about 400 g.

I have a similar one, but not exactly the same. The mesh size of mine seems to be bigger than what the picture shows. Because I got mine second hand and there is no brand name on it, I can not say which one exactly I have.

It was very satisfying how cleanly it split in half! Excellent shots on both eggs. And that shockwave from the glande that passed through the net looked really cool!

One idea didn't pan out and I just haven't had the time to put another one together!

I should have it up before going to Down South though.
