As usual, very nice work.  What type of cords are you using for the second one?

Leon, solid and nice design, I like the decorations, straps fixing and the hide, of course

I just saw your throw to the can, I was impressed really. Your technique for accuracy seems very dynamic, it must give a quite good power, I like it.
I'm curious what is your approximate efficiency in percentages. When I was watching your clip with the loopback it seemed to be 100%

Leon, don't you fear of rebonds?

Yep.  I just connected with a copper rivet.  These rivets are super strong though.  It’s a real bi*** to get one apart if you mess up on construction.  I have to drill it, grind it, and chisel it....just to loosen.  They are definitely more than adequate for slinging.

Yurek:

Hmm.....I'm not sure exactly what my accuracy would be percentage wise.  Truthfully, I have only two results when I use this method.  My bullet will either hit straight on or very proximal to the target, or it will fly 3-4 ft. to the left past the target, landing in pretty much the same spot. 

The miss to the left occurs when I don't employ the technique effectively.  If I don't throw my arm underhand enough, on the release, (as is explained in the article) the bullet flies out of the pouch too late.  Thus, to the left it goes, and aggravatingly so!

When I get rid of this bad habit of throwing to the left, I'll let you know what the percentage rate is.  The problem I have is that the late release feels more natural than the quick underhand.  Regardless, when employed correctly, my accuracy has been great (my poor can is in a sorry state...hehe).

You should give it a try and see how it works for you.

hey leon
the best method of getting a rivet out is by puting a cold chisel in the center of the side that you rounded and hammer it and the sides of the rivet should bend upwards and u can pull it out, you might have to then get a punch to get it out but this method is the most effective

Leon,

Very nice.  I like your designs.  I think I've noticed the same thing with my slings.  I have a few braided slings.  One of them uses a braid that is more stretchy than the others, and it seems to have more power as a result.  I can't tell why.

hey i think you fell into the old post trap.  notice how the last post before you was about 3 years ago?  i know that a couple of those members don't frequent the boards anymore, and i think that the makers of those slings has taken off
