Here it is, just finished, but yet not tested. It`s made from cotton, this time with a finger loop instead of the horn retention toggle of the previous sling. As you can see, in the release position the middle part of the pouch moves down (below the pouch level).

b&w over hemp pouches lose the stark color contrast, but don't get riipped up. I do use them as tball throwers though. The black and gray and the camo yarn over hemp are better suited for rocks as there isn't any real color contrast anyway.

Wow that triple weave is supercool!! What Will you name your special sling?

Made a lightslinger tire tube sling today

this section of tube actually had a tire patch but it had to be cut off so the next 1 I make I'm going to add a patch

LakeSlinger & Walter. Nice work guys.

It´s not too stretchy, especially when you pull the cords before loading the ammo, they remain in that length for a while. I´m not sure if it`s really cotton. It´s sold as natural fiber cord and seems to be cotton (it is not hemp, sisal, jute or flax, so by principle of exclusion it has to be cotton - or linen).

There are many names I thought about. Still can`t decide.
The triple sling without overlap could be named double split pouched sling because it is split twice or maybe the 3D-split pouch ´cause the split can be seen from the top and from the side. Or to keep it simple I`could call it the Tri-pouch.

The previous one with the overlap then would be the Overlap-Tri-pouch. First I had the idea to call it the "Rockman plus" or something like that, but in a Rockman-sling you would divide the pouch halfs (or thirds) directly near to the cords. My triple slings are more like the classic peruvian slings.

By the way. I´ll have to try a triple Rockman!

Lemme know how you like it.  I'm sorely interested to see if anyone finds them as wonderful to use as I do.
