New (completely) to slinging. Wanting to make my own. Read most all the howto stuff on slinging.org. Reading and thinking, the Apache Sling seems pretty spot-on. Why? 1)One swing, done. Good for hunting/defense/offense. A target will sit there untill you hit it or collect it. Prey/enemy will flee/attack. 2)Inelastiic. Calculus (do the math, bozo, or just think about it) the aim point changes [for an elastic string] with the mass of the slung object because the mass of the slung object changes the radius. From those experienced ?? is that a significant change ??
Off to the local leather strore (The Leather Factory). Decide to try "Arificial Sinew" P/N 3610-00.
Seems inellastic. Melts under flame, can easily seal ends.

Currently braiding a six strand. Damn! Braiding is hard on the hands! Or, more probably, I'm just soft

Informational - I've done bow, slingshot, knife throwing in my (long long ago) youth. In later years i became a proficient point-and-shoot handgun person. Um, so I realize it will be thousands of rocks and several years before I become proficient.
What I want is to start "correctly". Whatever "correctly" is, or may be.
