Second braided sling, #4 overall, 86.36cm total length.

As you can see things are tighter. This sling is much more accurate than the first one.  
 

This is my work horse for my short slinging. I made the pouch shorter, the finger loop tighter and rapped suede around the end of the release cord for aesthetics.

Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Your hand to the helm
Your eye on the ball
Your nose to the grindstone
Your ear to the ground
And you will not have time to put your foot in your mouth.

Out slinging on a snowy day... It was tough, because the ice is covered with slushy snow, which makes moving your feet hard. I nearly tripped on this, and the snowball didn't go very far... Kind of a combination underhand throw and attmept at regaining balance...
That is an aussiepouch, by the way.  Smiley
 
 

 
Here's another one. I made this sling myself.

After joining yesterday I decided to make a new sling, borrowing a few ideas from a few of the members here...
 
 

 
 
Vey wet and windy today, but as soon as I get a chance I'll give it a go.

Here is my first staff sling which I call 'Gorgon'.  It isn't too pretty but it does the trick. The pouch for both my shepherd's sling and my staff sling is some kind of canvas-backed synthetic that I used for mock-ups, but they work so well I've just kept them as is. I plan to make my first leather pouch soon.
