The picture isn’t mine, I just grabbed an example of a balearic sling. But I got a bullseye today and then walked away, letting it be my last throw. It felt damn good, not gonna lie

I also mowed, trimmed the shrubs, ran some errands, and yadda yadda. But that perfect sling was the highlight of my day

Also got my legs tore up by mosquitoes, so bug spray will now be a must. But at least I remembered sunscreen! Little wins today

    Hell, idk lol. I’m probably already creating bad habits. Maybe “Primal Slingling” on youtube? That helped me learn some basics… and what questions I want to ask myself about technique. But after figuring out a basic throw, I looked up videos of what I was trying to do (like the figure-8 throw) and just practiced

    It’s honestly just fun; like throwing a baseball, except way more technical? I keep it in my car and highly recommend it as a “I’ma take 30 mins to play for a bit”,

    You can also braid your own sling from paracord (or whatever really), but I was trying to see if I liked it first, before doing the most lol
