yes that one is quit good. not perfect I´ll hope the aussie pouch arrives soon.

i hadn´t got enough rope to wove it tight enough so it is a bit loos. but the stones sling very well and are the right size so they´ll fly pretty far but now I´ve got to find an new field as I sling much better than before Cool

Ow and I´ve got 2 slings now both on page 17

I posted this below in another thread, but here it is again. It's a video taken by my lovely wife of me slinging in North Carolina. So for you people that looked at the pictures of me slinging and wondered why my body was in the position it was in the stills... now you know.

When in doubt, shoot for the head (worked for David anyway...)

They didn't have slings and anyway they wouldn't have had the range to return the fire.

Please tell us more about it. What material is it made with? What size/weight stones do you use and what distances can you throw?

This a sling a bit longer than my usual, ca 105 cm/42``, folded.
It has a ``Double crossover leather strap`` pouch and an easily removable leather finger loop. Developed the idea after reading about Captain Pauls slings.
I tested it today, had to adapt my underhand for it, for great distanses, and used fig 8 for trying to hit things. Worked better than I had dared to hope for Wink
