ever hit yourself in the head with the rock?

[IHatchetJack]

@mixturebeatz Nope.  Never hit myself at all while slinging.

ever tried lead bullets? there are football shaped lead sinkers out there that would be perfect.

[IHatchetJack]

@69penetrator69 I've never tried a lead slug. I think I've read about lead slugs being used by the Romans that had the "catch" in Latin stamped on it!

hahahah, answered my question from the other video. Thankx

[IHatchetJack]

@flyfishscm I was just about to tell you! :)

[IHatchetJack]

@gotrocksinhead Once seen, it cannot be unseen.

[IHatchetJack]

@ThePanTian Want me to dance or something?

[oldhairpin]

@IHatchetJack Finally had a go. Errr, it's fairly difficult! lol When do you let go? On target? Before? After 5 minutes, 1 length of cord flew off and I couldn't find it and so that curtailed the session.

Carve a notch in the top end of your hand drill and tie 2 loops in each end of a cord big enough for your thumbs & put the middle of the cord in the notch. You won't have to walk your hands up & down the spindle.

Appreciate this. Thanks.

Yesterday I made a small comment about the sling in another video. Today I saw this video and I'll say anything. I threw the stones differently. I did several laps before dropping. Accelerated to a maximum and then threw the stone. That's how I learned and trained hard to have enough accuracy.

The more turnover reached more speed.

Never tried it that way.
