Havn't tried the pastic yet. Is it realy that good?

I wouldn't say it is as nice as say a woven hemp or nylon one, but since nearly everyone has tape and plastic bags, it's basically free. It performs almost if not as good as my leather and parachute chord one. i've been making so many slings for some reason though, it's weird i'm almost as inthused about slinging as paintball. but this is something the old man can't take away from me. especially know. whenever i look at some throw away scrap material i think, "how could i use this to go do something fun and amuse myself, by making a sling or something of that nature."

But my friends really think i'm crazy. and i know i am about painball, were all on a team, but they think this is some stupid hobbey. i gotta figure away to get one of them hooked.

Some bad news though. slings are banned in BSA(Boy Scouts of America) because they are considered a concealed weapon, unless they are under supervision of an authorized individual who has a permit for something. If thats not a load rubbish, i don't know what is! They let us shoot guns and launch bricks and bowling balls from trabuchets. but they don't wan't us slinging a tennis ball at a target. I cant leagally get the BSA permit until i turn 18 eather. but then i can supervise and teach kids how to real murder weapons too

Ok I have a potential idea to get your freinds involved Harryman, and it relates to what I'm doing myself.

This even got my girlfriend onboard!

My initial forray's into slinging were met with lukwarm responses until I introduced the idea of slinging water ballons. Now everyones interested. My girlfriend made the pouch, and one of my friends even helped punch the grommets! Granted my girlfriend is a boyscout her self and likes trying new things.

I am so glad that I have an excuss to sling, and have my friends there to do it with me. I think one of my friends even want's to make one himself, but I won't push it until he says he will. We'll see

I hope that's usefull somehow.

try a dollar store or flea marked for really good deals.

otherwise walmart, home depot, craft stores, or even some of those mega supermarkets

Hemp twine is also sold in garden (suply) stores, stores for the fishing industry and craftshops, (expect to pay more in those last.)

that may work better that a plastic bag. but it would cost some money. not much but i'm cheep, so naturally anything i get for free i'll  use.
