Hello people. I don't actually sling things much, but I find all types of historical weapons and tactics fascinating, and this forum seems to be very active relative to most niche forums that I've found. I initially signed up to ask how sling length affected sling use, because google hasn't been to helpful with questions about slings, but I already read the answer on here. I'll probably pop up sporadically, probably often to ask questions on the "other weapons" section.

I also made a really bad sling once. (You can also probably tell that my camera skills aren't great.) Now that I read a little on here (and will probably read more) I might try to find some old seatbelt now.

Welcome, javascripter;
   You're right, that is a really bad sling.  lol  The seatbelt sling is a great choice.  They're very versatile and easy to use.  Plus they're very durable.

besides that the slings great, lol. but thearos does have a point, can you pick up some para-cord from you local Walmart or store, most of them have some, make a simple sling out of that from the tutorials section of slinging.org. you should be good once you make one of those.
