I made it following a tutorial by Derek Taylor on Youtube and am pretty jazzed about how it turned out.

I just finished my eleven-strand balearic style jute sling. Decided to switch to four strand round braid on the release cord because I was too exhausted from the eleven-strand braid on the pouch. The sling turned out pretty nice I'd say.

It is also my heaviest sling yet. In the second picture there is a 257g stone in the pouch for comparison.

How does it perform? I've been really enjoying the balearic slings I've made lately. They seem to have a clean release and good pouch orientation control.

From my indoor testing with old socks in ducttape it has quite clean release for being such a heavy sling. I also like balearic slings for the same reasons. There is none, I just made it where it felt right

(i get a range of about 80 meters with 9 out of 10 shots and the release is very clean)
