I’ve taken the little parachutes from “star cluster” type parachute flares and tied them to rocks for slinging. I had to be sure and match the direction of wrap with the direction of my spiral, or rifle spin, because if you don’t spin it in the direction it’s wrapped it will open almost immediately after exiting the pouch.
