I have to admit that split pouches seeem to work better for me , I dont like the cupped ones
I was slinging with a new white para cord sling and found something interesting .
I was using black walnuts in the husk and discovered that they were leavin a brown mark on th release cord about two thirds of the way up .
The cord was not getting out of the way fast enough .I am working with that now to find out why ? Any insites would be gratefully received
I think this is universally true for slings. The amount of contact with the release cord depends on design, as mentioned by Kick. We've had a lot of discussion about that subject this year.
This video shows a good example, which is apparently rather extreme in the amount of contact, because the release cord was very stiff, but you can see the physics of what is happening. A lighter release cord could get out of the way faster.
