When it started to look like a sling

I decided to load all my slings.
I've experimented a lot.
According to my feelings, Balearic slings with a split pocket shoot more powerful by 5-10% because of the clean release, the ammo flies faster. But you need to choose a medium-sized stone, large ones roll and fall out, and small ones feel bad.

I love Apache style slings.

They allow me to throw even super heavy stones of 500-600 grams, but only at 30 meters.

On average, Apache-type sling with a solid pocket, for every 100 throws have 3-4 miss release, the delay in releasing the cord prevents free release.


I constantly train sling skill with my friend, so I take Apache slings, I am so always sure that the projectile will not roll, because the Balearic slings are the hardest in mastering for me. Even when I am with someone, I throw a stone with a force of 50-70%, when I invest 100% I am afraid that the projectile will not roll over, although this has not happened yet.

The Apache sling has never stone rolled back to the side, no matter how bulky it may seem.

Apologies for picture size, now I know I can post a picture I will try to resize  🤪

Nice!

Guys, many thanks for the compliments. I am running to catch up so making slings to try and find what works for me. So where I use leather I will make a few identically but wet and/oil them in different ways to gauge the effect. I have tried various materials, natural and man made for braids and the two balearics are homemade butchers twist hemp and cotton and plain blue jute. The twist is a knotted pouch and the blue jute is 12 strand so the pouch needs reinforcing with leather. Cheers.

And Rayman, many thanks for re sizing 🍌
