Only I'm probably going to use some of my own Hibiscus bark cordage... Have to rett it though... and that'll take time.

Thanks

I've been using all those slings for some time so I roughly know when they started to wear down in relation to the others.
It can't be put into numbers easily, so it was more like guessing.
Also the exposed parts that keep the sling together played a role e.g. the egyptian style slings have the least amount of vital parts exposed to projectile friction, the split pouches the most, of the leather splits 1 ply broke of the 7-ply after less than 100 shots so it scored low.
the max score in durability was 9/10 by the egyptian style slings ,there is always room for improvement.

Other Stats where evaluated in a similar manner...

Zuviel Kraft im Arm und die sling öffnet zu spät. Eine bremse hilft. Benutzen Sie eine schallzunge an einer kurzen sling. Sie wird sich besser öffnen. Ihre Ergebnisse werden deutlich besser.

I don't know if the overdrawing to the left is because I haven't adjusted my timing to the the short sling or the sling needs better design. I'll try to look if a brake helps in my case.
