Bump bump bumpity bump Smiley  
 
As I've just picked up an eyelet and stud fastener set from lidl for a paltry £4.  
Thought I'd find the thread that had the cap paul sling templates in.  
Here it is.  
 
these are hands down the best pouches around. I'd even venture to say they're even better than my own Smiley  
So the people I still owe slings to - you'll eventually be getting at least two Smiley  
 
and for those who wanted smaller pictures:

Thanks. That's a very interesting design. Might have to give that a try.

I've never made or had one but some here consider it the best sling ever invented.

I don't consider it the best sling ever, I know it is. The golf ball pouch is perfect for me, aw I sling rocks.

pics later but I have now made a cap paul analog sling Smiley  
 
Turns out I didn't have the same sort of rivet things in the crimpy kit I bought. So I made the holes bigger and used eyelets instead.  
 
I've been using his sliding leather fingerloop for a while anwyay.  
 
Pics later - but the template works. I've got it as a pdf file that just needs to printed out to a sheet of a4.  
 
Later - working Smiley

I made one of these last night... Tried it out today and it works great. The rivets I used flattened a bit from excess hammering and I used a soft leather. Next time I make another I will use hevier leather.

is there such a thing as excess hammering ?  
 pdf file attached.  
 
Print out on  asheet of a4 and it's the right size for a general purpose pouch.

add cords  
 
The proper cap paul analog must have the sliding leather finger loop to be authentic.
Plus it's hands down the most secure and comfortable design for a finger loop there is. Bar none.

While the pouch might seem too small for something like a tennis ball. The long strips of leather enable it to hold quite large ammo. As well as ammo of an irregular nature. While still keeping the actual pouch itself small enough that it doesn't cause any noticeable drag or air resistance.
The cupped pouch is also suitable for multiple small missiles. Which is fun.  
 
Despite having dozens of slings of different design. My original cap paul has been my edc sling for about 5 years. I've lost count of the release cords I've worn out but it still has the original retention cord and finger loop.  
Mind you even that is showing some signs of wear Smiley  
 
Until something truly remarkable comes along. In my opinion This is the best sling design on the planet.
