Nice demo. I think if you demonstrated any more with the empty sling though, that your dogs would have gone out on strike.
My dopey dogs !

Excellent....dogs are a hoot.
Dad, dad, dad, throw it, throw it....quit fooling around, come on dad, dad, dad....would you just throw the ball......there it goes....oh no not yet....dad, dad, ..throw it.
I had a shepherd that would retrieve golf ball at the park when I would chip them at a bucket....for quite a while, but the last time, she picked up the ball, ran home and laid on the porch with the ball between her feet.....I guess she had enough.

I need to make one of those now...
Is there a formula to figure the length based on a persons size or arm length?
Good video, but I just don't get the "accurate" part ? Looks like he is going more for distance than he is for accuracy ?
I wasn't throwing for accuracy. The technique however is quite accurate and uses a natural throwing motion more intuitive and less wild than twirling overhead. Length is preference. 3' for max distance, 2' for better accuracy. +/-

OK, I was going by the title of the thread on the accurate comment. I have played with slings in the past and with a 3' sling I could put a tennis ball sized rock almost across the Big Sandy (not a big river) river near Ashland KY when I was younger. I knew I had it right and it was going to go max distance when I heard it crack like a 22 rifle on release ! Never did get good enough to get accurate with though and I recently made a new 3 footer and one that is about a foot and a half long - just haven't played with them yet.
This technique is pretty dialed in left to right. Practice on release timing is required for vertical.

Poor little puppies. Daddy keeps messin with them, not throwing anything! My dog just stares at me with the old "your joking" look on her face when I throw stuff.
Great video and excellent instructions. I wonder if it is more powerful than the old David and Goliath technique.
