He was grinning like a kid so I guess he liked it. On his first try the dirt clod fell out (no good rocks handy). I sent one into the middle of the street (residential, no traffic) and that drew a nod of approval. I think he'll catch on quickly. Hopefully he'll sign up (he said he checked it out). He's a cool guy with a lot of lot of historical info.

Thats cool. I hope he joins the forum.
I made a sling for a friend of mine who I rarly see out side of school(we live far apart). I was going to take it to school to give it to him but I was woried that with the zero tolerence policy on weapons I would get arested or somethign. I told him about this forum but I dont think he joined yet.
It is always fun to introduce a new person to slinging.

hey what are you talking about weapon?
i carry several of my native american headbands around with me all the time, even at school. let me tell you how they work: just tie it on with a regular old knot and then tuck a feather into the wide part and there you go!
seriously, though, i even mailed a few to another country labeled as headbands and they went through customs.

Or are you talking about one of the strings in my pocket, the one that I forgot to undo the knots I had been playing with. A locked sheepshank in the center and a bowline at one end. I made those just to compare the structure of the knots......

Willeke,
It is not clear to me at this point whether you are "knots" or just plain "nuts."
