oh yeah I forgot, I also so designed a sling that you can use for a key chain. I use thick nylon strapping and heavy duty d rings on them. They are alot of fun.

well, to explain this, it is the sling pocket that you have on your keychain. All you do is add the cords. When was the last time anybody made a fuss about a bundle of string from your pocket. And also think of it this way, you will never be with out a sling. I personaly have gotten one past airport security accidently. It was not my intention to leave it on my keys, I just forgot it was there.

i keep a peice of nylon string tied into a three cord pouch using knots similar to the ones discussed in one of the articles, except that i couldn't figure those ones out so i made my own up, in my wallet.  it is light, and i often forget it is there, also, it doesn't look like much to anyone unless they pull it out and check it  out.

I'm interested as I don't cherish the thought of filing for hours on end to get that taper . A blacksmithed version would be cool . I could always drawfile and polish later for show or use as is for hunting . I'd like my show Ropedart with the 5 interlocking rings which I've never made . If you noticed in the pic I used key rings that only last a couple full blown throws . Look at my last post in Primative weapons . There are the specs out of the book.

Hes probalby be on the road selling his wares . He as full time blacksmith and I think he does shows . Have you seen his work ? Beutifull .

You could punch in ropedart and martial arts supply and get results. I got a book and a Ropedart from Wing Lam martial arts supply . The ropedart was $19 . I wasn't happy with the design and not sure of the quality of the steel so I made my own out of an old Railroad spike. Get the book Soft weapons . Don't let the name mislead you , it really means flexible . The book features 2 weapons . The 9 link steel whip and the ropedart . Its printed in Bejing ,mainland China . Its a ancient chinese weapon with orgins from hunting and fishing weapons . If you have trouble getting the book let me know in a private message . There are lots of pictures and stuff available to study on the net .

Start out by using a bag of sand about a half pound on a rope 12 feet long . Read all the posts on the ropedart on this website and you can figure out the lenght you need . Watch the movie Shanghai kid when he ties a horseshoe to a rope , The movie Scooby doo also has a ropedart sequence. That will give you an idea . Remember use a bag of sand first....

SlingWolf , go into the websites search and punch in ropedart and 100 for number of posts on the subject. You'll get 60 posts to read explaining what a ropedart is and where to get info and such . If you have trouble getting the book send me a message 

I am posting a trade request/submittal.

I am currently making crochet slings. I make them in either black or blue yarn and one that is 20-22 in long(folded) takes about 1-1.5 hrs. You tell me the size and I will make one for you.

I am asking for either clay or flour oven baked glandes(I am at college and do not have an oven). 10-15 should be enough for a trade. Preferrably almond shaped and about 1/2 the size of a tennis ball (even a little bit smaller would be ok). This would be awesome for me as the stone pickings are slim here at State College, PA(USA) and I do not have access to an oven to make some myself. Here are a few pics of what you could expect.









PM me if you're interested. I can only make a few  at a time so first come first serve... (college classes dont give me much free time).

Due to the nature of where I am located, this trade is only doable with someone from the US. Sorry all of you international buddies, but I dont have the funding to ship these things out of the country. Sorry again guys

Thanks and happy trading!
