"The Slingers of the Balearics" on Internet

Miquel Àngel Santos, from Cala Bona, and Antoni Genovart, from Sant Llorenç, have just published a web dedicated to the traditional stone slingers of the Balearics: www.mallorcaweb.net/foners

The page includes full information about the history of "els foners", details how to make a sling, practical instructions to learn how to throw with a sling and even the rules of the Federació Balear de Tir de Fona to know in depth about slinging as a sport.

The web of Els Foners is participating in the Web Prize 2001 organised by MallorcaWeb. In this link the provisional list of participants can be seen.
