    Awesome shooting Brother Vance.
    That gusting wind stole your victory.
    You'll have it next time.

    great shooting! it's just a matter of the right wind conditions I think.
    I am curious what you are doing to prevent too much back-spin on the golf ball.

    Backspin is controlled by attaching the non-releasing part of the sling about 2 cm inboard of the release pin. Chris Gerow taught me this technique, and you can control the amount of backspin by how far separated the two attachment points are.
    Question: What would too much backspin look like?

    I think walker should issue a new challenge just for you I would have done this but my onager only goes 800ft

    Well, I figure he decided to do this when I advertised finally getting beyond 1000 ft. He certainly is quite fiendish in his appraisal of human nature. I simply couldn't say no to it, and it's serially destroying my weekends.
    On top of this I must live with the possibility that someone building a another device just goes out one afternoon and hits with a lucky shot.
    Argh!
