Looks good.  That is exactly what I mean by more variety in types of sling on this website.

Boy! is that good info.   I had suspected that any stretch in cords was a no-no.    That over-the-top "tennis serve" type delivery is gonna be tuff on an old shoulder.   Many tnx for a great article.   mgreenfield

Am I looking at the picture right?  Is the pouch really a foot long?  That's huge!

Great article. That sling design looks like the balearic one with a sewed piece of leather onto the cradle.

In the shape, structure and position of each stone, there is recorded a small piece of history. So, slinging them, we add a bit of our history to them.
