yea i saw those and it sort of inspired me to make one. i had made a sling of out it before but it wore out pretty quickly do yours? i normally make mine out of paracord or mason line.

im planning on possibly starting a little business when i go off to college next year to help me make a little money on the side. yarn sounds like a good idea due to its cheapness and the fact that it easily comes in so many colors. my only concerns is its durability.

I make them for other dog owners as a fun way to play fetch with there dogs.I use mine ever day for my dog Harry and have to say I have not yet had a problem with them wearing out.Im so confident with the ones I make, I tell dog owners they can use them as a emergency lead to get there dog safe home or back to the car,if they lose there's.Also being Acrylic you can stick them in the washing machine.Have fun at college and good luck with your slinging business.Let know how you get on Wink

Be safe,have fun.

I finally rediscovered the old knot-maker's trick. I'd laid off slinging for a winter, discouraged because my rotator cuff would hurt after just a half hour of practice, and then I was walking through the vacant lot next door and saw a fairly new piece of baling twine on the ground. Something about all that time off, I was deliberately stepping through the stages of everything I did, being extra careful. Though I found my movements were fluid and automatic as I measured the cord, tied a 3-cord sheepshank, adjusted it, and knotted and looped the ends. Free string, four half hitches. Cut it with an old piece of glass.

The difference was that I adjusted the knot as I tied it. Something about the way that knot was balanced evenly and shaped into a basket made the difference for me. All of a sudden I could hit stuff. I found that my muscle memory extended beyond tying the knot to throwing with the sling. It felt easy and right. I even avoided straining my shoulder, probably because I'd been doing a lot of regular throwing. Newspapers. Muscle injury is usually because of demanding too much all of a sudden of weak muscles.

And the finishing touch. The ultimate practice projectile. Deadly thwackurate against the back fence.
