Quote:Must the center opening be smaller than the stones to be thrown?? If not, what is the secret to using this kind of pouch??
Any help from fellow slingsters much appreciated!

split pouch in my slings is about 5 inches , of course a small rock can pass trough the split hole, but split pouch is intended to hold any rock, even small ones. just let the rock rest balanced on the two bands of the split pouch. This may require gently separate the two bands of the pouch for big rocks, or keep bands side to side for small rocks.
Tip... load the sling and grab the loaded rock with your free hand, tightening the whole sling before you start the rotation. this will keep the rock in place till some centrigugal force is achieved.
If you make split pouch too long, it's a lot more difficult to handle, and rocks can fall from and trough the pouch or get entangled in it.
a.s.a.p. i'll post some pics of how rocks are placed in the split pouch., but i think this explanation will be helpful enough.
