Bullet shaped lead glande. Much, much better than any previous effort.

That's some gnarly looking ammo, Rockman.  I wouldn't want to get hit with one.  Nice sling too... simple, basic, but effective.

 You made me a sling!  Wow, it looks really awesome, I was just looking up the cobra style ones on here a little while back.  I'm assuming that was the one you were talking about sending me a while back.  If you want to keep it or anything don't worry about it, it must cost a bit to ship a sling and all.  But it looks really great, and I would love to try it out.  Maybe in the future I can send you one too, after the SITH exchange anyway, gotta shell out about 15$ for the shipping there...

Rockman sling: 98cm (my third one)
King Tut sling: 73cm (my second one)
String/leather sling: 65cm (my first one)

Thanks for the kind remarks Ratman. Iīve tried the leather sling a couple of times now.  
I like it, the absence of a fingerloop takes a while to get used to, but itīs a solid design.  
I have more leather, Iīll make sure to put a fingerloop this time.  
 
The glandes are still sitting there, waiting for their drafting.

Finished this one today. Had to take it apart from the pouch to the finger loop because I made the loop too small. Math... Going to make one like this for me Smiley
 
It's wool (acryllic) over hemp; 26.5" from pouch ctr to release knot. Four doubled strands of hemp and 4 doubled strands of yarn. Tapered release cord.

Heres the projectile I found, recovered from a MG range. It's by a Victorinox multitool for size comparison.

Here's three new slings that I made.  The first is as much a training exercise as anything else.  It's difficult to weave very small slings with curly, miserable sisal.  This is a seven strand sheep shank acorn launcher.  Usually the kids grab these tiny slings up as fast as I can make them, which isn't very fast at all:
