Hello everyone, Captain_Twine here! I started with slinging about a month or two ago, (I started shortly before the virus outbreak.) I actually braided my first sling following a "pictorial" on this very forum - Which, upon further examination, got me hooked. I'm looking forward to the chance to better get to know the sport, the craft, and the community!

Welcome from a fellow newbie!

Also just joined but have been looking at tutorials and technique posts on here for awhile. It's fun stuff, for sure.

Thanks! Same here; Slinging has been keeping me from going crazy during quarantine.

Welcome from Finland! Check out the Indoor Challenges that joe_meadmaker has come up with. They're super fun. I still need to do the latest one but hopefully I'll get it done this week.

Yep, same, it's been a great quarantine activity. I used to really enjoy the zen of perfecting my basketball jumpshot. This is really similar. A good blend of getting into the zone and getting to know how your body works.

I went out today and managed to figure out the figure-8 technique. Whoa! Massive improvement in accuracy, but also it feels way better on my shoulder and forearm than Greek overhand or Byzantine.

Wow - ;D I hadn't checked on my introduction post in a while, I didn't realize I had accrued so many 'Welcomes'! Thanks, you all.
