Dog leash line (Read 1175 times)

AncientCraftwork Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Posts: 2403	Dog leash line May 5^th, 2020 at 2:33pm Has anyone else here used this line for a sling? It's a really tough and compact nylon of some sort. We had an old broken leash and I reused the cord on my aussie slings. To me it feels even better than paracord.

Out of curiosity, did you braid multiple lengths of this line together for the sling, or did you use the cord "straight up" so to speak? Definitely seems like it'd make for a tough sling.

“For as this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, 'tis necessary that it should be observed and explained; and... a reason should be given, for what seems altogether inconceivable, how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it. ..[V]ice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason.”

I just used it straight up with a leather pouch. Although If I had more I would like one with a woven pouch.

I've used it for slinging yesterday and I was a little surprised by how well it works, I like it more than my paracord. Thin cords like these with minimal stretch really get the most out of the sling when it comes to speed and distance in my experience. I've also used this cord as string for light poundage selfbows.

That must be some good quality hemp. A sling can last really long if care is taken with ammo selection. If I had to choose I would rather have a perfectly smooth 40g pebble than a rougher 80-120g stone.

Das muss Hanf von guter Qualität sein. Eine Schleuder kann sehr lange gut bleiben, wenn bei der Munitionsauswahl sorgfältig vorgegangen wird.
Wenn ich wählen müsste, lieber einen perfekt glatten 40g Kiesel als einen raueren 80-120g Stein
