Sling Hit 175m (574ft)

Slinging like the Romans. This distance(175m) is close to a stadium ("The stade consisted of 625 Roman feet (185 metres or 606.9 feet), or 125 paces, and was equal to one-eighth of a mile").
This is the distance ancient Romans trained daily according to de re militari, their targets were consisted of bundles of twigs. My target consisted of branches, twigs and a metal mesh to support an archery target face.
Ammo was river stones.

Awesome shot man, that's some ancient Roman auxiliary slinger level of accuracy right there

Now that's what I call the biggest slinging flex: hitting an archery target at two and a half times the distance archers usually shoot at!

an 80 cm archery target is hard to hit with a bow at 60 m but with a sling at 175 respect 👍
i really appreciate your content


Greetings from the Schlingel team

A Carthaginian fleet is heading to Magna Graecia to face Syracuse, Slingers from Iberia and the Balearic Islands go with them, I think it's time to recruit you as a mercenary...

Incredible! Amazing dedication, power, and precision!

[HistoricalWeapons]

CONGRATULATIONS! at that distance the arrow has reached beyond its maximum effective range. im curious how lethal a 180m sling projectile is? maybe testing at 100meters is a good start with ballistic gel

[kickslinging]

What a shot. Amazing man. So glad I got to see you sling in person as well. If there was any possible doubt about your abilities before, I know for a fact now you're a beast :D

[IronGoober]

Holy moly! That was amazing, even better than I expected!

[yourdiscoverelaxchannel]

Absolute incredible shot ... huge respect ! ❤

[spyczech]

That's amazing, I experimented with slinging here in US but when I visit Europe it would be cool to see some real slinging clubs and such talent

[Qarlo]

Inspirational. I need MUCH more practice.

That's the Afghan sidearm technique I do believe? An incredible shot 🧡

This is how I imagine the Balearic slingers being used. The two armies are almost close enough to charge, but not close enough for pilum. This is where the slingers disrupt formations, put enemy soldiers on the ground for following soldiers to step around, cause nasty wounds. And they keep it up for 1500 yards!

Your follow through is way more natural now good on you!

Bonjour de France
Fan de tir à la fronde,
Fantastique tir.
Incroyable.
Merci pour vos vidéos.

[MitchMersa]

Awesome work dude !!! You killed it !!!!

[plywoodcarjohnson]

Good stuff. Many people only show the slinger and not the impact. I suggest you go high above some lake. When the rock hits the water it is pretty clear what happens. Anyway thx!

[gabrielmusk]

Incredible! At what distance could you consistently strike this sized target?

[sirchanesaw]

Nice shooting. Do you know the weight of the stone?

[SVRoquetta]

Incredible. How long does it take to get that good?
