my first actual accomplishment was done with hemp. it worked pretty well. i like it a lot. i sadly have not been able to use it yet and ive had it for weeks. this was my first time using hemp. its a good material but slightly stiff. i was thinking of make it next with that nylon mason line but idk now. its an awesome looking sling though. fun to make.

Gave this loop pouch thing a try and found it a bit more difficult than just weaving a split pouch as you build the sling. Instead of going with the eight inches Matthias used, I tried six and when it was all over with, ended up with a 2 x 4.75" pouch. Most of my slings have that exact pouch length, but I was going for a longer one here.

I also had a hard time getting it symmetric and as you can see, did not succeed. I still think that making up a bunch of pouches might be a good idea. Nothing easier than attaching a couple of cords with a larkshead. Oh yeah, it took me four hours, not one. That could be the learning curve. Anyway, the next one will be eight inches long and perfectly symmetrical - or you guys won't see it!

I like braiding the cords from the pouch out. No finger loop to braid or weave!

Reply #35 - Oct 25^th, 2009 at 1:11pm nice, is the pouch restricting in any way? I'm used to my slits being adjustable like rockman slings, or pouches with a wide capability like Aussies

Not too much adjustment there. It's basically just a two inch gash. You can spread it a little, but not too much. Definately not like a Rockman or Aussie split pouch. Tried tennis balls, but lost a few on figure 8's. Lost one rock winding up for my helicopter, but i've also managed that with my other slings.

What I like about this sling is that it is light, fast and I hit more consistently with it than any other except for maybe my reverse twist paracord/leather pouch sling. Don't know why. Like it enough to build another one. This time i'm going to try a larger pouch. Like seven inches so i'll end up with a pouch a little over 6" overall.

Unusual in that the pouch is made separately so if you make a mistake on the cord lengths not all your work is wasted. The link is also included in the FAQ now.

Despite my almost superhuman powers as a moderator, putting something in the G&A Section is beyond even me. Also it must be in the form of an article not just a thread. You may of course, suggest it to Chris yourself.

bump

been thinking about making a separate pouch myself
with maybe d-rings or keyring circles at the ends for quick change to different lengths

i'd like to make a pouch frame/support from a single length of paracord and then weave the paracord

just have to find the right pouch frame/support design

where's my scrap paper ?

this already is made from one piece of cord, but not as thick as paracord. not sure if it will work. the method here has the cord looped into 3 large loops, then hooked up. the stray ends are hidden under the weave.
