Howdy from TX
Aug 17^th, 2007 at 12:04pm

I'm David, a philosophy PhD student at Texas A&M. I'm a martial artist and love all things wilderness and primitive. I first found Slinging.org a couple of years ago, but this is my first post. I braided several slings for friends and family, mostly according to the Apache article. I made them from jute and leather scraps. (A leather sewing awl is well worth the money.) I love the weapon, but I my accuracy is worth nil.

Greetings David from your neighbor to the north. I used to live in the city of crimson and cream, couldn't wait to get out of there though.........

A lot of practice is required in order to get your accuracy up to where it is passable. i wish you the best of luck sir
