I've noticed a couple of things with a braided sling. First, it really does look pretty!
Secondly, it's bigger and weightier than my other slings. <as a side note, my other slings consist of two peices of rope and a leather pouch>. After having finished my first one, I headed out to the lake to put it through its runners. After throwing for some time, I went back to the rope and leather sling and found it very light and, well...flimsy. Don't get me wrong, it still did it's job, but I found control to be much better with the larger sling.
As for wear, I don't have a clue as to where (no pun intended
) it will start to fray first. I am anxious to find out. I haven't used one long enough to get some heavy wear and tear.
Anyone else have one that they've worn into the ground??
