Badminton match throwing

[Old Greg]

Ah, but if you used a pile of small sharp stones instead of shuttlecocks, you've got a handy deterent in an ancient Greek situation.

And you don't have to ask for your spear back to have a second shot.

Sling shot is what you need.

Was that faster? It did for Goliath.

I'd still go for a longbow. It may slightly slower at 250 mph but it's going to go much further then a shuttlecock or slingshot & hurt a damn sight more.

Handy if you have a pile of sharp stones. The Romans used Balearic sling shotters as auxiliary troops who were handy swimmers as well for attacks across rivers.

Shouldn't knock what you don't understand...

Like that matters around here

We moved away from shuttlecocks to sharp stones hit with badminton raquets at 200+ mph.

A longbow would be better, but ammo wouldn't be as plentiful. Just wondering, did the ancient greeks have longbows? All the pictures I've seen are those piddly little ones.
