Hi all,
New member here. First post.
Two days ago I made my first sling using the Rockman Tutorial. Great stuff and easy to follow. I used two different colors of twine, both of which are quite rough. Still the results are terrific.
I took it down to the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto yesterday; found a secluded spot with good rocks and slung (slinged?) away. Good fun and I was amazed at how far I could send those rocks. I found that larger rocks, about the size of a small chicken egg, worked best.
Here's a photo of my work.
