    I made a sling yesterday and tried it today... well I'm impressed the velocity and rage this weapon has but I'm disappointed with accuracy... Does any one knows few accuracy tips using this weapon? BTW I thrown about 150m~500ft. but I read that some could throw at least twice as that or even more... How do they do it?

    I'm not really sure how you're going to do the improvements Rokas, but I'd think that the distance doesn't matter until you've got the accuracy down.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    As far as improving accuracy --- practice, practice, practice.

    I have made 2 slings so far, as well as a number of various projectiles ranging from stout wooden darts, to ice balls. I plan on making a Greek variation of the sling, called a cestophendon, or cestros, which is supposed to throw foot long bolts well over a half-mile.

    So you're the one ! $7000 estimate on the wife's car, my truck is totaled, have to get a new roof and my closest neighbor's roof plus his truck, Lincoln Navigator and RV. We have the same insurance agent so I guess he will be in touch. Confession is good for the soul but your wallet is gonna be flat

    With what style are you slinging? Greek or horizontal or vertical?
