I believe there are a number of paintings that suggest netted slings but I don't know of any archeological evidence. Doesn't mean that there isn't any just that I don't know Cheesy

Walter, I like your pouch design. I would be interested to hear more about how you netted it.

I have come up with a technique to make netted pouches that I use to make trebuchet slings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbTmTzyULcQ

I have definitely found that, at least with the netting style I use, the pouches need to be well sized to the specific projectiles you will be throwing. So they are not as versatile as a solid pouch. Something too small will get stuck in the net and something too big will not be contained in the pouch.

Tomas Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Posts: 2172	Re: Netted slings! Reply #11 - Jun 7^th, 2020 at 3:48am Jaegoor I would like to see what you come up with. I have two designs in mind. The first can be made of leather or perhaps even 3D printed. The second would be a traditionally netted sling. I'm going to have to look up knots for netting
