Hello all, Im an essentially brand new slinger (slinging for about ohh...I'd say 45 minutes ). I've been using an entirely duct tape sling (even the cords) which, needless to say, doesn't work the greatest. But even so, I've been amazed at how fast and how far and accurately (for having such little experience) I have been able to throw it.I am really looking forward to slinging better and feel that it would be something to entertain me on the many hikes i do with scouts. Also I'd like to give a special thanks to chris for helping me with my registration problems. I'll see you around the site!
