Hello and thank you for accepting in the forum.
After a few years I returned to the slingshot. I'm glad I found this forum full of information and advice. ![]() |

Today I make my sling from jute.

Nice work. I've said this many times. Jute is my favorite sling material. It's cheap, has almost no memory so it's easy to work with, and makes a good looking sling.

I made other sling. I think the cords are too thick.

What matters is that it feels comfortable and works well.
If you like a thick sling that is fine. If you don't then keep going and make another. I seem to remember making around 20 untill I found one that felt right. Good luck and keep going. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

I've made many slings with thick cords like that. They work just fine for me.

So I made another.
This one is better for me. Have you got some tips how to improve accuracy? ![]() |
Title: Re: Hi from Czech Republic Post by Kurtz on Aug 27th, 2024 at 7:23am
This is my first sling that I used a lot of.

Two deceptively simple answers ; Practice and Style. The first means time and a safe place. Go to it and practice, practice, practice. The second is go from the general board to " sling academy" FAQs. Watch the videos on sling styles. Try them out untill you find what works best for you. Then get that style as smooth and natural as possible. Then practice untill your accuracy improves. Good luck and happy slinging. :) [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

Accuracy is much more elusive than power and distance. As Zud said, practice, practice, practice.

Hello from Croatia!
Looks cool, dude! How do you bake the clay glandes? |
Title: Re: Hi from Czech Republic Post by Kurtz on Dec 18th, 2024 at 3:46am
I use quick-setting cement. (You can see bullets in the photo on the first page). I just put it in the mold and close the mold. The advantage is that you can put a piece of lead exactly in the middle. I will try to make bullets with a hole.
