I have a whole video on how to make and use a staff sling 😎

Well, I have a video on how to sling, and there are some other good videos too, Archaic Arms and Iron Goober are legit. Bit.ly/slingfaq for how to make slings

@@davidmorningstar I've watched some of archaic arms. Very good videos

People have played sling golf. Controlling hook and slice through spin angle is hard and golf balls with their dimples do wild curves if not sent just right.

I have a video on how to sling, and one on how to makes and use the staff sling

David absolutely had to have used a hand sling, the staff sling is entirely missing from all recorded history until Vegetius in the 4th century AD

@@davidmorningstar "Recorded history". Such a simple idea and modern humans seem to think older humans were all simple and dumb. There are painting, etches on walls of ancient civilizations that show staff slingers. Do you yourself rush to write a book about plastic tops to coffee cups that have a little hole in them to sip?

@@mutteringmale show me a staff slinger prior to 4th C and I will make a new video about it

@@davidmorningstar Try some of the historical videos, especially those done about little known battles. That's where I got that, but I can't remember now where. I watch 100's of them. I'm an old historian, and I'm in awe at the incredible range of history there is now to be absorbed and downloaded into my poor brain. It's like the Aztecs/Toltecs et al. Why develop iron/bronze for weapons when you have the sharpest cutting tools ever discovered to this day? Needs as needs does.

I have some more slo mo of this throw here: ua-cam.com/video/DHHeQQfFt94/v-deo.htmlsi=YESz6_BFcqj5oCb0

There is a guy called Blind Squirrel Rockchucker on YT who has a great figure 8 style

@@davidmorningstar Thanks for the reply and helpful tips. Yeah I've checked him out (I'm a newbie so that's actually the guy I learned/stole the most from in terms of sling creation so far would say; currently use his double finger loops exclusively). Have not seen him sling before though. There was a video of him showing the technique... Much longer and heavier sling than I use. I think I release too late with this technique (throws keeps spiking down hard). And more than anything I think I've been holding it wrong prior to swing (too low; like I would hold before going into balearic style). That clip of you was helpful to show that. That being said guess I won't go with this technique rn; it looks way harder to generate proper power with using a shorter sling, body gets in the way, and I'm happy with the balearic style for the shorter string; already throw pretty hard so accuracy is my main goal atm (have ZERO of that). Will definitely try this later on though. Thanks again and have a nice day! 👍 Edit: actually WILL ask another question. Previously most completed slings I've made I've incorporated the pouch last (I do them out of paracord). Just now though am learning to incorporate it into the braid (rather than knot-pouch with separate cord-knot-continue braid) but it's not going great, bit of guesswork, and is quite frustrating. Dk if you have experience with the making of them (?) but in your experience is it bad to have knots in the middle of the cord (for accuracy/power)? Or should I just as well just do them and make it easier to make the slings?

Right at the back, returning the tennis balls

I have a full video on how to make and use the staff sling and I mention the trebuchet connection

An atlatl is much shorter, typically about the length of your arm, although some Australian woomeras are larger than that.

Good balls can be sent over 200 yards with a sling but you need to control the axis of spin because they hook and slice like crazy

I don't, this is all I found

The slinger Luis Pons Livermore makes his own slings. They are braided from sisal fibre.

Much easier to use accurately, less easy to carry around with you

Absolutely, people have played sling golf on regular golf courses and of disc golf courses as well. You have to be very good at controlling the spin axis through the throw and the release because hooks and slices are extreme.

Oh come on let them duel! It good entertainment for the lads!
