I owe it all to Stephen. I made it according to his directions.

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.

That is a beautiful sling, Masiaka.  Here's some Cobras made from different materials.  First is one made from jute over cotton.

I usually use super glue to secure the ends of my West Country Whipping but I was out.  In a pinch medical tape works just fine. 
   Cotton over cotton (below) makes a very strong sling with a big pouch.

here's a new hemp rockman- it sucks at the pouch. much too supple for my likes there. it would work much better as a Balearic or 4 strand rockman sling.

The Balearic style sling is 48 lb hemp twine and the leather parts are from an old woodcutting glove.

But I sure like the way hemp looks. I'm gonna look for some and try a 4 strand as you suggest. Thanks for such a nice photo.
