We propose a 73 ks observation of the spectacular merging cluster Abell 2061 that resides in the Corona Borealis supercluster and has a slingshot configuration. Previous X-ray investigations revealed the presence of a cold front and an indication of a shock front on the southwestern side of A2061. Interestingly the shock candidate and a radio relic have an unexplained offset. This unique feature is most likely originated from poorly understood slingshot activity. Towards better understanding of the unexplained offset between the shock and radio relic the proposed observation aims to determine the spatial coincidence of the shock front and the relic.
