  • Dozen shots at 20m... how high can you score?
    Standard Balearic target (120cm square and 50cm bullseye) is 1 point for the board, 2 points for the bull.

    You make it look so easy, lol
    Just made my first paracord sling and I think I'd be lucky to hit the fence

      Lot's of mindful practice, and you could do the same! The main thing is to not give up.

      You make it look HARD. I CAN SHOOT FLYING PENNIES ON A BAD DAY.
      Nah I actually shoot at bushes from 30 yards away and usually don't hit them 😢

      Cheers Mersa! It irks me a little bit how close the 5th shot was to making a perfect round... ha!

    Very good! I think if you would attend some balearic sling competition on Mallorca, they would be quite impressed. However imagine, that the elite balearic mercenaries in Roman age would hit such target at 400m if the legends are true :)

      Well they aren't legends, they are accounts, all Roman historians did military service

      @@alexmag342 U telling me there were guys who could consistently hit a man size target at 400m? Plz tell me where to find these accounts. If it's true, that's absolutely amazing, I'd love to hear what they have to say about it.

      Thanks! I did manage go to the Ibiza competition this year.
      I think elite slingers would potentially be able to hit a man sized target at 200m some of the time, but I believe at 400m it would be area target.

  • @firstbloodbushcraft8354

    Is there an online store where I could buy that target?

    good slinging. I like when sun is out and wearing a hat like that and you see shadow and feel like Indiana Jones with a whip.

    Incredible aim. Can you get similar accuracy with a sling 6 to 12 inches longer? I find i get good accuracy with slings around the length you're using there, but not as much power as I'd like. But with anything much longer my accuracy goes out the window.

    • @Archaic-Arms
      @Archaic-Arms  Před rokem

      Cheers! I believe the sling in this video was 24" from ring to middle, but nowadays I only use 29" (almost kisses the floor when held with arms down) for target work. If the sling is longer than that proportion, then it starts to require a different technique.

    Amazing shooting bro, what kind of (ball-projectile) is that?

    • @Archaic-Arms
      @Archaic-Arms  Před rokem +1

      Thanks! I believe it is a ball for dogs. Weighs ~85g (3oz) I think.

    At 20m Roman legionnaires would be hitting you with their first and second volleys of pila.

    • @SlingAndStones

      If you can hit a target this size at 20 meters you can hit a target 3 times as big at 3 times the distance.

    yeah, but could ya do it in a battle, with other dudes shootin arrows and swingin swords and chuckin spears from the backs of horses?

    In this video the loop is on your index, and your grabbing the sling like a Tonfa stick, when throwing a figure 8 motion i throw like throwing a nunchucks, grip is different, i don't desire to show in videos. But you can buy a nunchucks and a tonfa and see the results.
