Although I think I have become marginally faster than when I started. Apparently knotted pouch slings take even longer! Actually does anybody have any clues/instructions on a knotted pouch?

Yep

I wrote a tutorial about one: http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1357568101/0
I'm working on a second, different "knotted pouch" tutorial right now.

The same principle like the previous one, but made of artificial (polypropylene) hemp. I bought 2 m of a thick
Spleitex-rope, untwisted it into 3 strands and each of them again into 9 strands. 2 m length was enough, as I worked with overlapping. Great material! It´s very strong, not glossy, waterproof, doesn`t smell like hemp, but looks like a natural fiber. This sling also has tapered pouch-cords.

This one is a fast made sling of a kind I´ve already made a dozen. The difference to the previous ones is, that the retention cord is normal 550 paracord, whereas the release cord is made of ungutted paracord. This keeps the attachment knot smaller ( = less disturbance of the flying out ammo ) and the release cord lighter.
The first throws demonstrated me, that I wasn`t used to such a "perfect" release, cause all of the stones missed the target on the right side (i.e. too early release).

Posts: 432 Gender:	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #3578 - Apr 26^th, 2013 at 9:36am Having started with picture taking for tutorial #3 I haven`t finished this sling yet. It will be a totally synthetic apache sling with a rubber pouch. Probably I´ll post the result before I can post the next (and last) shepherd-sling tutorial, cause I won´t have much time the next two weeks.

The retention cord is paracord filled with some strands inside, for the release cord I´ve pulled out the inner strands, so it´s an empty "tube".

I also was confused first ( I´ve learned English as a foreign language in school). But you´re right, ungutted can be understood in two different ways. Sorry for having confused you. The next time I`ll think before I write.

Apaches with rubber pouches shoot good.
