It would be great to make a bulletproof transparent protection for the camera to make a slow-motion video of the flight of different projectiles. In this video, there is no protection and a leather biconic ball flew very close to my phone. But this time I was lucky, I didn't hit him.

Wow looks like a great time! I hope to join next time.

It looks like all the lead ammo was biconical? Have you ever tried the more flattened almond shape that seems to have been common in Roman times?

I remember reading an account that those fly further, though the writer had no idea why. I can attest that they fly well, but I've never been able to throw them in a place that had a chance of finding where they landed.

No, I haven't tried them. I've been meaning to though. There's still lots of experimentation that could be done.

I've been away from the forum for a few months and didn't notice this post.

As I understand it, you all tried the netted design?
How did those slings perform?

I would also like to know how that Primal long range sling performed? It looks beautiful.
