Just found that I had packed my Balearic sling-- as in sling made by a lady on I think Menorca, a real fibre bassetja: thin braided cord, rather improbable split pouch, quite long (right finger to outer edge of left shoulder) Took it for a spin, which is really the first time I went seriously shooting with it. The split pouch worked ok (don't like the way stones sometimes shift during spins, i.e. seat themselves a bit further in the split). Gratifyingingly, the first shot was on target; the thing shot slightly heavier stones than my usual (perhaps 120-150g), nicely, and also delivered good performance on distance shots.
Quite abrasive on the fingers, though.
