Aside from maintaining the slingshot’s practice as a traditional game, it also aims to train to concentrate, be patient, and train right brain motor skills.
Chairman of the Indonesian Traditional Slingshot Association (Perkatin) Supriadi, better known as “Pitung” hopes that future national and international sporting events will feature slingshots as one of the competing sports. “I have been thinking about developing slingshot as a sport, while we can also maintain good relationships between members,” said Pitung.
