Slinging everything 'cept b.s.

I dusted off sling #1 that I saved after all these years, it is grommeted, and it drops more stones than it casts. It's a miracle that I persevered through its design flaws rather than giving up on slinging in frustration and/or disgust. The pouch, even though it is crafted from a thin and supple leather (kid, or doe perhaps) simply does not cup, but behaves like a thick rubber playground swing seat. The cordage was lacing from a work boot, attached through the grommets with bowline knots. If a projectile doesn't fall out from the lack of cupping, it certainly is falling out as a result of the cord pouch joint being looser than a greased swivel.
