Balearic sling
Feb 17th, 2012 at 9:31pm
 
Call it an impulse but I have recently become obsessed with the idea of a Balearic sling. I have been trying out different kinds of slings and want to use the one that is best for me. I was wondering if anyone could trade a sisal Balearic sling with a leather cover on the pouch and finger loop.
I am 6' and still growing.
We can figure out something through pm.
Thanks,
Ben

Have you tried Bob at http://www.primitiveweapons.com/ I got a Balearic style sling from him a couple of years back.

Give Hondero a PM. I recall somewhere that Luis Pon Livermore sells Balearic slings for 26 euros. Not sure if he still does, plus you would need to work it out in Spanish. But if it does work, he might give you an autograph lol.

At the moment it's 34 dollars. Not a bad price at all.

Different people. Hondero is a judge for the balearic slinging competitions AFAIK, so they may know each other.

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.

Hows it going? You live in the US, do you know where I could get some really cheap leather?
BTW, are the slings out yet?
Thanks,
Ben

Have you tried a craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby?
The slings will go out this weekend.

  Value Village and other thrift stores, find a leather purse or coat, or patches for pants/coats.  I get a lot of great leather that way.
