So if you're waiting on an Aussie pouch and still haven't received it please send a confirmation that you still want it and I'll mail ASAP.

Got my aussie pouch(es. he sent 2) a couple of days ago. Tied on some simple paracord strings, ready to go. I love the pouch, but after a few throws, it seems to me I need longer strings and heavier ammo to really make the best use of this pouch design. The pouch doesn't open as quickly as the leather pouch I've been using (which also has lighter strings and more flexible attachment points for the strings), so the release time is a little greater. It does, however, open very consistently, which has apparently been an issue I had never noticed till I used the aussie pouch. The consistency of release should allow the added time for release to be exploited to find that perfect moment to let go, increasing accuracy( theoretically). I'm tempted to poach the design and do it in fancy leather for my next parade sling (with full credit given). I might even use kangaroo hide, if I can find it. In any case, you can see how excited I am to play with it.

Overall, a GREAT design and a GREAT pouch(es). Thanks so much!

I use mine with the green side out. You may want to try that to see if you get better release.

BTW The design is not mine in that lots of people have made pouches this way before, so poach away if you wish. The only unique thing about them is the material. It's old transport belt from mail sorting machinery.

Aussie,

I apologise if this has already been asked, but how do these compare to your seatbelt pouch design in terms of speed and clean release?

I've made a couple of your seatbelt pouch design and they are far better for me than my braided jute and sisal slings. If these are even better still, I might have to come cap in hand Grin

No, I don't think the Aussiepouches are intrinsically superior. In fact I generally use a seatbelt sling myself, even with tennis balls. However the cupping effect of the twin strap design gives a more secure hold which is advantageous for beginners.

For some users the waterproof nature of the material is good, especially for dog walkers slinging wet slobbery balls.

Perfectly happy to send you one to try. Just PM me your name and address.
