lobohunter, ....I'd love to see pix of your tricord design. A pic of my tricord is in the gallery someplace.
Big advantage of this design (I think) is that it permits sling pockets to be VERY! small, and still securely retain spherical ammo.
BUT, with a tiny pocket, it is limited to using spherical ammo. Ball bearings would be perfect.
Advantage of the 2-string sling is it's ability to pitch "footballs". I think Mattias and/or Jurek did math that said if you took a certain spherical mass (say 3oz), and reformed it into an ellipsoid 3 times a long as "fat", you potentially reduced air drag to 1/4 that of the sphere.
The trick is to pitch the ellipsoid point first, ...which can be done pretty easily with a 2-string sling and a wide grip.
Interesting stuff, huh?? mgreenfield
