WHY FLINGERS?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

In the old days, Istrian shepherds filled their time with throwing rocks to the chosentarget. Later they modelled the rocks and made them more flat and in some places theyused half a brick. Eventually \u201c\u0161kuljanje\u201d, as the game was originally called, transformedinto a new form by using modern materials. Our family got introduced with such flingersand we could not imagine any vacation or a picnic without them. Because they weremade of plastic, those flingers bounced unpredictably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In our home workshop we came up with an idea to make our own, improved flingers,which eventually we succeeded in. A plastic toy was turned into a real competitive sportsaccessory, used by the Slovenia Prstomet (FLINGER) Organization.<\/p>\n

This game brought us a lot of precious moments. We hope it will do the same for you.
