Hello from North Carolina
Aug 7th, 2019 at 7:51am
 
Hello folks,

Stumbled across this site searching up info on slings (for the love of puppies don't type in "slinging" while that ridiculous ad campaign is running right now) and I'm very glad to see such a strong community.

I was first interested in slinging about 12 years ago as an SCA Archer and Arbalast owner. There was virtually nothing to be found about slings and sling accessories at the time.  I was attempting to start a sling revolution within the SCA community and I failed miserably.  I am pleased to see that slinging flourished in my absence.  Smiley

Slinging was never far from my mind and as my children have grown my interest has as well.  As a black powder shooter I already have a substantial lead foundry and am looking to cast glandes for my new found passion.

I will be haunting the forums and picking your brains and later sharing my experimentation with my cast glandes.  In the mean time, I'm pretty much noob.

Welcome from Finland! I have to agree, it is nice to see that slinging is still going. It's been around since humanity's first days and I suspect it'll still be around for the last .

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES!  Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“  -Jesus the Noodler
