Found a pretty old sling, garden jute. Didn't like the pouch, so I unwove it to a certain point, then rewove away, until the old jute started to fray-- I continued weaving but it looked more like felting. On the photo, you can see, from right to left, old weave, new weave, and frayed weave.

It did shoot very nicely (very short sling, finger to elbow, and small pouch, for pebble throwing).

Thearos Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Take that Posts: 3410	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #4431 - Apr 10^th, 2015 at 4:30am Thank you- It's a very small pouch (length of my thumb), but it does take the "half-egg" size which I like best--apart from the more readily available pebbles and small stones.

Walter- glad to see that:) its a nice sling you made!
On the topic of playing catch with slings; I've only played catch a few times(my catching partners used lacrosse sticks or ball gloves) but I noticed a huge improvement in my consistency and my lob.
Maybe bigger strides with that than with any other thing I've done to improve my slinging.
I'm going to get back to that:)
