Slinging Rocks!

I'm not new here, but I took a bit of a break from this place after breaking my arm and I haven't really posted since.
So, I thought I'd re-introduce myself.
I've been slinging for a few years -- mostly apache, but I recently switched to figure 8. It's easier on my shoulder. I've gotten a lot better now -- I'm still working on vertical accuracy, but my lateral accuracy is pretty good.
I recently braided myself two new slings -- a 24" woven pouch one made from hemp with cords around 2mm thick and a 28" sisal one with a split pouch.
As a side project, I've been extracting some yucca fibers to make another sling.
I do a lot of gardening, reading, and hiking. I've got a big collection of carnivorous plants -- which is where my username comes from.
I may pop around in random places here.
I think I may also make a tennis ball sling to bring back to college with me.
Thanks for reading and keeping this place great!
(By the way, what happened to the seprate tutorial section here? Did they all get moved into threads on the forum?)
