I bet you can put extra spin on the rock with that kind of texture!

Wasn't the duct tape and clingfilm sling one of yours as well ?

Lobohunter, I can't help but feel that you may be a man with a little too much time on his hands, eh? Nice job, however. The creativity never fails to amaze me. Good work!

well o.k sometimes Its a bit quite lol. other times i see something that looks like a sling and wait for a oportunity to make it.  I am a huge fan of how easy a sling can be improvised. I dont always have a sling with me. But I always like the ability to have one in a few minutes. yes the duct tape and shrink wrap was mine.
Also the extra frition does feel as though you gain a bit more control perhaps even a bit more energy tranfered to the ammo. Hence the target. As I said that part is just a feeling so who knows. It does deliver more confidence, wich always deliver's more results.

actually the making slings with stuff in the workshop might be good fun.
At a quick glance I've got no end of duct tape, a big roll of network cable and lots of scrap paper that would make good ammo.

Plus it would make a change from the bb gun and the low power air pistol with the rifle darts and the dartboard.
Occasionally I do work as well - but only if I really can't avoid it :-)

I also like to think about ways to make a quick sling from various materials and this one is a winner. I recently got a piece of cable from a 1000ft flair and now I want to incorporate it into a sling. Sometimes I will keep a piece of whatever in my pocket until I know what I want to use it for or otherwise just turf it.  Roll Eyes

For some reason no matter how often I carry a sling. I never seem to have one. every moment I want one. so I seem to always be practicing my intovative skills.
