When you are throwing things like those darts & your lead shot, you might want to paint them "surveyer's orange" to make recovering "field shots" easier. (Might help with contrast for the camera, too.)

I was shocked to see you actually get some shots off. Those spikes look extremely dangerous to sling around, when Dequitem is taking a break from axe-fighting people in the woods to say "I dunno if that's safe, bro," you know you're on the highway to the danger zone. Though if anyone has a chance of swinging those killers around relatively safely, it's probably you. Great vid, take care out there, bud.

@@dashrendar5320 I also meant to add regarding that drawing you showed with the sling anchored at both ends. I believe that was actually a plumbata sling. Which you might consider attempting if you can find some plumbata that don't break the bank. I believe Tod just came out with ferrata, which instead of lead weights, have iron so they aren't one or two use before they loosen up. They would be devastating from a sling. Like mini pillum.

[@Raven.flight]

I think another thing that has to be put into consideration: Accuracy isn't really THAT important on the battlefield. The phalanx (whether Hoplite, Macedonian, or Roman Legion) would be shoulder to shoulder. The skirmishers (which all slingers were really) are just there to cause some casualties, but mostly harass them so that (hopefully) they do something stupid. Even those that missed your 'aim point' would have hit *somewhere* in the mass of enemy... and having a pokey metal spike hanging from your eye is just going to make your day a lot less pleasant.

[@dashrendar5320]

All very true. And man they are so heavy. I feel like I can get it to 100 yards pretty easily and it’s just a lot of mass coming down haha

@@dashrendar5320 It looks like you are using a Thunderbird Atl Atl. One can have a lot of fun building your own and experimenting with different handle/grip configurations. For instance I found that a “handle” that was wider but with lesser depth so the palm was facing "up" combined with a separate stud or shelf for the index finger curl around and transfer force and guidance was very effective for me. And while we are exploring this rabbit hole I do not find it a necessary to have flexible dart shafts - many more experienced users may debate this but the aboriginals do not use flexible shafts and seem to know what they are doing ; ) Each to his own.

Just a suggestion in case you see this, for throwing things like the lead weight, the torpedoes, or knifes, it can be good to put a bit of orange paint on them to help find them after they land in the grass or brush.

You are right about the first Australian people’s name. The pronunciation is also pretty darn close to how we (white Australians) say it anyways.

Definitely not something I would try to figure 8 throw with……. Thanks for another great vid. Mad I have to dig for ammo under all this snow…..and -20c. Hehe! But hey expecting plus 2 in about a week……. Hmmmm, better dig out a few bags of rocks and stash em! Rock on neighbour!

Haha oh man I do not envy your snowy climate haha: gonna be a sunny day here again 😂 but yeah those things legit terrified me to try and sling….i have done lots of silky stuff but that made me the most nervous by far

One of the complaints about the new army M7 rifle, is you can't carry as much ammunition. Mini torpedo's enter the chat.😂

Already here from the Tod's video, but I did have a chuckle that Metatron discovered this a bit after me.
