Quote: You one-finger slingers always freak me out. I *like* my pinky, and plan to keep it in good shape by using a full-palm grip. Of course, that means no wide-grip for me, unless I use the other little known slinger's finger and run my standard grip backward.
We need to get a handle on this whole cracking thing... Unfinished business...
This site has pushed me into longer and longer slings. My first ones were very very short by our standards, and preformed very well. Maybe I need to shorten some as well!

I agree with the one finger thing but then being a wrist strap convert I no longer worry about slingers finger lol. That helps considering I some times like to toss those one or two pounders lol
As for the crack the whip. as until late I have not really seen it much. With the helicopter like style that I am now using. As a non hunting style. I get the crack with almost every throw It is kinda satifying but plays hell on my slings tearing up the ends of the release cord. I have solved that problem. By using 550 cord. Also known as para cord or 7 strand nylon coated and heat sealing the ends
but before that the crack was even breaking my 1/8 inch leather on the ends
