I have made over three dozen slings in the last 2-1/2 years, some fancy, some plain, all different. Most of them were the result of seeing a sling design here, and making a copy so I could see how well it worked. But I use only two or three slings regularly. This one is my favorite. Full length, it is appropriate for the baseball-pitch/helicopter style that
Ralph Craig
described (about six paragraphs down, after he talked about atlatls). It is presently shortened to a length appropriate for the Apache style. The finger loop is a
braid-on-a-string
technique that Matthias described; since the loop is about three cords wide, it is comfortable even when slinging heavy rocks. The pouch is
Lobohunter's variation
of
Knollslinger's design
. It is a simple design, can be folded or rolled up and stuffed in a pocket, and works well with just about any kind of ammo, from golf balls or rocks to tennis balls.
