And yes, this sling is intended for shooting. (with smooth stones )

I've mostly been using natural materials for sling making or cotton string but I do want to have a go at making a braided paracord sling. Would be that bit more long-lasting.

Thanks for the feedback as well y'all. I was practicing with it yesterday, it was heavy enough to be really inaccurate as I'm more used to lightweight slings made from one strand of paracord.

It has now fulfilled the highest destiny any tow strap can hope for... The sling pouch. This is the tow straps version of leaving the karmic wheel and attaining Nirvana.

I'm always surprised by the Medieval depictions of staff slings because the sling part is always so short. It almost looks like a shallow plastic bag. I still haven't had the opportunity to test out my staff sling (read Tibetan sling tied to a broom handle...) but I wonder if it would be better to make a much smaller sling component.
