Hello People,

   Just a thought here, but in my younger days I was pretty handy with a
slingshot and my usual ammunition was mainly rocks. The rounder they were
the straighter they flew. Usually they would slice left,right ,up or down
but on occasion one would corkscrew. If I remember right it was the oblong
ones that were most likely to do it. Maybe someone ought to do a test.
Unfortunately, my slingshot was traded in for something that shoots much
straighter and I don't have it anymore.
