been away from the site for a while, might as well reintroduce myself.
i'm Rob in upstate New York.
been slinging off and on since i was a kid. made my own from old leather bits, jeans, etc..
made a couple in high school and college for the Dungeons & Dragons crowd because they were cool.
now i'm 38, a cop, play in the SCA, shoot archery, atlatls, do full contact stickfighting (Dogbrothers), filipino stick/knife combatives, try primitive living skills and sling along the banks of the Mohawk River.
still working on sling accuracy. on a good day with about a 1/2 hour warm-up i can keep stones on a 3' x 3' target at 60 yards. this usually lasts about 10 shots, then i lose it and have to start over.
my favorite sling is my old wool Peruvian that i got from Flight-Toys a long time ago. i occasionally make simple split pouches for people when they tell me they've never tried a sling.
so yeah, hello again.....
