Pikaru, the Honda Eye is definitely one of the coolest slings I have ever seen!

And like kava asked, where do you get your stones? They are totally cool! And how do they throw?



Thanks guys. Most of my stones are kiln fired clay. Other are fossilized coral and some are limestone. The coral and limestone are worked by hand, pecking and shaping on stone but it's faster when I use my wet bench grinder and sand paper.

Like with most slings and slinging, the eye sling is a work in progress. Thanks again.

Hi, I just joined the other day and found a simple string tutorial on here by Malik Lund. So I braided me up some jute cordage and made one fer me self. This is the first sling I think I've ever made. I've made sling shots, but that's dif'rent.

Once upon a time, in a forest far far away, Charming Prince was taking a stroll.

Here, he found love at firt sight : Snow White, who lives with 7 dwarves, who were working at the local mine.

So he decided to move in and they lived happily all together :
...

It was all nice and happy, but the couple soon wanted some intimacy and so decided to move out :
...

But Charming Prince was not so charming, so Snow White was quickly fed up with him. So they decided to divorce :
...

And they lived happily each apart, without any child.

  Nice string or Appu-sling, Mr_Roundhead.  For the first couple of months of my slinging I used nothing but.  Though it's limited, it's something I feel every slinger should know how to make.  If you can make this sling you can make a sling anywhere out of almost anything.  It's a great knowledge to have if you ever need a weapon quickly in an emergency situation. 
   What style do you use when slinging with string sling?  I was only able to use Apache (no wind up, just turn her loose).  If I tried any other style I'd loose the projectile prematurely.
