I just tested it, and I can see where he was coming from. The release is practically instantaneous with these small stones and it makes for a very different sensation to a normal sling. It's a similar feeling to a stone slipping out prematurely with a traditional sling. Where I can see the benefit, is the consistency of release. Unfortunately my design isn't working like I'd hoped and stones automatically release when I put power into the throws...
Back to the drawing board.
The pouch is also too small.

I really like the weave that you did for the pouch. I'm trying to figure out how you did it...
I used a needle to go through the braid, and weave the warp back and forth across the split-pouch. I then used the needle as a shuttle to carry the weft. I tried to keep it tight with my fingernail.
