Next is a duct tape pouch sling based on an Appu-sling. I know that pj hates them, but they're cheap, quick, and easy to make and generally work great:

Shhhhhhh! We just won't tell him. Three out of four "politician's buzz words", cheap, quick and easy. All we have to do is make them popular. I especially like the works great bit!

Seriously, some of the slings I see here deserve to be on display in a gallery. How anyone can put dirty rocks in them beats me?

I'll have to give that a try. ...and I agree, Aussie. Many of the slings displayed here (not mine) I'd hang on a wall and never use.

I think soft pouches are a bit harder to use, they seem to release a bit early. Also there's no "oomph" when the rock leaves the pouch. Not sure if that makes sense, but that's how I'd describe it.

I have been making some girl slings lately. The one to the left is 16-strand braid, intended as a fun extra gift for a young family friend on a more special occasion. As it is of a somewhat "museum quality", I made a simpler user model with 4-strand braid. The pinkish one goes to my brothers daughter. Neither of those girls is more than sporadic slingers at best, but the slings are funny things anyway, and I got this yarn in dizzying colors laying about anyway.

Right. It's an easy to make, inexpensive sling, so you can crank out a few of them, but you're not ripping anyone off. It's as safe as any sling and works wonderfully. The one in my picture I can get 120+ yards out of no problem. Duct tape makes a good sling but I like medical tape even more. With use it becomes very soft and wraps itself around your projectile like a rag. Plus it's extremely durable.
Great looking girls' slings, timann. I'm going to have to learn more braids.
