Posts: 672 UK - South West	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #5507 - Jan 3^rd, 2019 at 7:13pm A couple new all jute (black and undyed) slings made over the christmas period. A 33'' rockman and a 38'' woven pouch. Not tested yet so will have to report back on performance. Both of them were made so that no cords were introduced or cut in the pouch which was particularly challenging with the 38''er.

Nice job! Those turned out nice.

Absolute newbie here, been lurking on the tutorials for a couple months and thought I would share my progress with you all. Left to right is a chronological timeline of my slings. Ive exclusively been using paracord so far:
Simple leather cup sling
An experimental triple split pouch
An mexican style sling (thanks dave morningstar for your tutorials)
A balearic inspired split pouch (finished an hour ago)

I'm loving all the recent sling pictures. Everything is looking great. I just finished another one. After seeing images of slings with asymmetrical pouches, it's something I've been wanting to try.

This one has a diamond pouch like I normally use for braided slings, but one side is lengthened giving it more of a kite shape.

I only have a couple throws with it at this point, so don't really have an opinion on it yet.

Really like your slings, but if you reversed the kite end for end I think the sling would release the projectile a little sooner. Just saying
