Okay. I actually got the sling today. It looks really awesome. I wish I wasn't sick today, or I'd go out and test it... I'll call you when I'm on campus on the 8th.

I made a trade for slings with Houndog, its interesting to try to use a sling that others would normally use themselves.  Anyway I would like to see what anyone else has to trade in the way of slings,  I hope to have one made from all on this forum Grin  Two down and countless to go... Wink

I went out and slung on... umm... it was Sunday I think. Anyway, figure-8 + tennisball + balcony = nice distance. Nothing extraordinary, but it was nice. I tried the underhand, but it kept slipping out. The fabric was too smooth. I tried figure-8 again, but it slipped out too. Finally, I tried a golfball. I was expecting it to slip and I forget to let go. It swung around at full speed and the pouch hit me in the back of the head. Luckily though, the ball fell out a little before it started swinging back, so it landed on the ground. I soon lost the golfball, but it flew incredibly far. The crocheted sling has trouble holding ammo that's too large or smooth or both (mostly large), but it is fine. I'm still in love with my 100% adjustable nylon sling. It's all stained and the braid was pulled out at one point where it snagged, so it has a bump, but it's very convinient. The noose on the sling was an ordinary slip knot which was knot the knot I use, but it's just fine. THe knot I use takes about 6 times the slack that that one would. It looks very sleek on a nylon rope. The one I use is basically the same as the one shown below, but with 4 wraps instead of 8 and without bothering to secure it by passing it through the loop at the top

i didnt make the pouch too large. i was basically aiming at a pouch that used the ammo i was using, which is smaller sized rocks... Wish i would have known that you like to mostly throw tennis balls, it woulda definately made that pouch more of a cup so ammo wouldn't slip out but oh well

ive tried that adjustable sling. it is awesome, only crutch is that i dont really like the split pouch design... not as effective  as a leather or solid pouch or even netted one. But besides that its awesome.

Yeah, the split pouch kind of stinks... Roll Eyes Let me know if you somehow stumble upon an adjustable non-split pouch Wink. Actually, I don't throw much of anything the size of a tennis ball other than a tennis ball. I need to get my hands on a syringe, because they're too light anyway. For dense ammo I use about golf ball sized rocks which wourd fit just fine. However, being a coward (or smart/safe, take your pick), I haven't really used anything denser/more destructive than a tennis ball. That, and the fact that I'm too lazy to find anything of the sort. I'd be nice to live near a golf range... Roll Eyes

ive actually been messing with a crocheted pouch and the adjustable sling. I made the pouch really large(i think its 9in long and 6 inches wide). when I was making the adjustable sling, I just put that pouch inbetween; its very similar to the Apache style slings. It works good somewhat, but could be too deep of a pocket. I am goin to try and see if I can develop some other sort of apache style pouch besides just a simple flat one, mayb widers strips?  who knows.. im still trying tho
