NEW Summer event! The old England Slingshot Federation is now run by one lad, Levi, after the effective withdrawal of the old management.
Glad to be able to announce that the Summer event below, is planned.
Their NEW ESF Facebook page (78 likes, 89 followers) is found here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579112732407 it is a page that now looks like a small local club, which, to be fair, is better than only the few big events and no news in between. Especially as they are doing something pro-active.
NOTE that the old page is still there, with its historical 2,800 likes and 3,000 followers. It has not had current event information on it, since 2024: https://www.facebook.com/ESFtournaments
The ESF ‘group page’ still gets used, here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/328471814557246/
The rising star in the scene is the new one run mostly by Daran Grinbergs, with the crucial support of some of the most stalwart slingshooters around. It is the UKSA, OR United Kingdom Slingshot Association and their page is here, with a healthily growing 1,800 followers: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085882605248
This is their event, held in the beautiful rocky hills near Harrogate. (Bizarrely with the fastest 5G telephonic connection I have ever witnessed, incidentally – great for live streaming!)
Finally, there is also a new Facebook page called UK Slingshot Sporting Events & Scores to track the results of the tournaments, from club level to these national events. It is found here:

They say, “Featuring comps from, UKSA, ESF, The Welsh League, Team Hawk, Team Grizzly, Titan Tribe & more.” The page still needs a bit more engagement, with just fifty-five followers so far, so click on and give it a follow!
