More hurling with rawkette trying to work the bugs out and get more distance. Tried different sling lengths before the pin failed again. It broke earlier this past weekend. Still shooting high and only going about 95-100 feet.
A series of 10 throws with the small FAKA. The first 6 were with the previous sling length and were going 119-228 feet. On the last four throws, the sling was shortened about 1" and the distance jumped to 140-145 feet.
Same frame and carriage as rawkette. TA overall length is the same as rawkette's at 17.25". 10 lbs. CW, 4:1 Beam ratio. Golfball hurl went around 120 feet. Used 1/2000 second shutter speed on the camcorder.
Shortened the sling 3/4" and tried a shot with the carriage further forward and not against the backstop. It hit the backstop anyway. 7 1/2 lbs. of CW.
