Kawkan

Check the slingshot community

Most everyone is gone. Ray will be around though. One of the coolest members.

Lots of people spending time here and the community, some seem to have migrated there and now spending little to no time here.

Ive seen him over there, Im on both, dont really spend time there at all. I like this place . Whats gonna happen when they get a new format over there,

I am not sure the new format will hit the community as hard, they just don't have many of the things we lost like badges and other. Some of the buttons will be in different places, but other than that probably won't be as big a change for them.

Having seen both places I think it would be great to merge the two in a place with badges, an active SOTM (I really hope this stabilizes and continues), workable sponsorships, and the rest.

In fact, without those things over there, I am not sure what the attraction of the community is except for expressing anger over the changes here by leaving this one.

Today is birthday. Maybe he is put painting Lawrence red or harvesting some sweet osage foks.

I bet he he out there... being Kawkan and such. You know, cool and neighborly.

Research the history of the forums and you will understand at some point there was a split among members that resulted in the various forums.

maybe we could do the ISCOR and post our level achieved in the tag on profile,, I hadnt done ISCOR but it seems like its just a place for the tests, not a lot of commenting or socializing ,, just musing

I dont think I want to know, might give me preconcieved ideas , Ive only PMed with Bone over there , and he seems a real cool guy

By learned a lot, I didn't mean all the drama.

I meant leaned a lot about the sport.

The drama was just mixed in.

The rebelslingshotforum has a lot of useful info as well.

I don't know the history behind the split. I just know that things change over time. And whatever caused the split may or may not still be an issue in the present time after forum format changes. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. If it is, maybe restoring some of the things that we liked having before would encourage some who have crossed the divide to come back. Whatever split it before isn't big enough to keep some from leaving now.

I think ISCOR would be great. What I loved about the badges was the variety and creativity of the challenges. And not just for my shooting, but especially for watching the videos of others doing them. Especially those who were modest enough to throw in a few misses along with the successful card cut or whatever. I really miss watching the vids of others doing some of the cool challenges. A lot like marveling over all the great pieces entered into SOTM's. I think all of that made this the nicer space. Add ISCOR, restore that, and I don't know why people wouldn't want to stay / return.

I enjoy watching peoples vids too. The mirror for the ISCOR kinda takes away some , I like to see the people shooting, not just the target move. One of the fav. vid I posted here was a guy shooting PFS bbs and hitting 14 in a row, then getting about 17 out of the 20, He said it was a Dgui challenge. It was a over the shoulder vid, you couldnt see the can move , but you could hear it hit. I like that stuff. I started making vids early, I figured if I waited until I was "good" enough I never would make one

I've been on both forums for a while and made friends on both. But since I mainly use Tapatalk I haven't noticed much in the way of changes. Might have sign in to the slingshotforum on the ole PC and see what the hubbub is all about.

As for KawKan hopefully he's only taking a break we've all done that from time to time.
