Welcome to the forum.

Many of us know where Hong Kong is . One of the longest registered members here (Tint) lives there.
There are many ideas for making slings with or without leather. Start at the articles on the site home page, and go from there. Take the time to look around a little, you will find a lot of information there.

The sling is as you say both simple and complex. We are all puzzling over that

Another slinger from Hong Kong!!!!

Nay Ho!  I have been the only from this part of the world since the dawn of time.  So Glad to see someone else join the forum.

Thanks for sending me a privite message.  I live on the opposite side of town from you at Clearwater Bay.  Over the years I have found a few awesome spots around there.  If you have the time to come out here I'll show you.

well knowing tint - I'd probably go for tennis balls as his first ammo ;-)

If you want some leather drop me a pom and I'll send some out - I've got a bunch to send anyway. Now slingfest's out of the way I might get round to it :-)

But the very best way for you to get initiated into slinging is to spend a couple of hours in tints compoany on a beach with lots of free ammo :-)

Oh yeah and get an aussie pouch :-)

lol you can get aussie pouches anywhere in the world.
You pm your address to aussieslinger with a polite request for an aussie pouch and - as if by magic - a week later the post man delivers you an aussie pouch - with cords attached if you want :-)

And for some reason we don't believe in charging people for sending them free stuff (blame aussieslinger). So yep, I will send you a bit of leather sufficient to make at least 2 pouches with: free, gratis and for nothing :-)

Probably best not to stalk tint - I sent him a rather nice little anti-personnel club he tends to carry round with him ;-)

Thanks everyone!  I told my Mom about all these wonderfully helpful strangers from Slinging.org, and she was like "How adorable (not like kitten oochy-goochy adorable...like...oh just...you get the idea).
  The problem is, I'm not used to the idea of having someone send me free stuff. In HK, 99.999% of the things are either not free or not worth anything. Oh well...I really would like to try making my own pouch. I just made my first pouch the day before yesterday And it felt SOO awwwsome! It's made with shoelaces tied to an unknown fabric as the pouch, and strengthened with pipe/wiring tape. Not exactly the eye candy like all of yours, but quite workable!
   Now my arm's kinda sore, cuz I practice too hard at home...that's what comes with doing a Greek overhand in a 3X3feet area..
   Now I'm just wondering where I can get paracord...and how much it'll cost. It looks like such a wonderful fibre to work with...at least better than shoelaces..
   Anyways enough ranting! Thanks once again all of y'all...great help I got here. This slinging community is like...the Awesomestest...(as the my girl classmates word it)
  BTW C_A Thanks for your offer! But being the helpful person my Dad is...and he being the traditional Chinese person...he wouldn't allow you sending me such beautiful fabric from somewhere in the world, when I can just get it in HK. Probably gonna cut up some old leather couch/sofa that we can find in a trashbin or something. No thanks to rich HK people who change sofas every year...
