Here is some pics of my first sling I made. It is made from two long leather strips with the pouch sewn in. The total length is 35". I formed the pouch with a golf ball(worked pretty well). Nicknamed "Monster" it has a wicked crack when slinging also does fine with large or small stones. The best sling style I have found with it is using the figure eight.

Thanks!

Here is my new sling I made today from cotton string. Its over all length is 54 inches. Retention side and release side are 24 inches. The pouch is 6 inches long and a bit over two inches wide. I finally measured first and got my length like I wanted it(Y x 2.8 = X) and it worked well. Once I finished the pouch braids I think I did a decent job of tapering the release side. I went from 12 strands down to 6 strands. Once I was finished I used an al to sew on the leather pouch.

Nice, looks a good bit longer than you last braided sling  Wink  You need to find a ten year old to give your old one to.  How's it work?

Well this bad boy is a bit longer, a good bit longer than the tiny one. She slings beautifully! I have been casting further and further. I went out yesterday and today to sling. I had to retie one of my knots but other than that, exellent sling. Will be my favorite one until my next one!

My wife took a couple of shots of me slinging today, while I was testing out my portable sling target.  I thought they were pretty good (she takes good pictures... these unfortunately have me in them) so here they are.

First the windup on my figure eight...

Does anyone know how to make this sling and can anyone make a more detailed version of this tutorial? I'm kinda new to braiding, and this sling looks quite sturdy... Smiley
