Imitation sisal (Polysteel)

I think I saw some of this at the hardware store the other day, and I was contemplating trying it out. What are your thoughts on the material?

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"

It's a great weather-proof material and it's very light. I prefer natural materials though (for the main part of the sling) as they have more grip, and are traditional.

I got some synthetic sisal and made a sling with it. Natural materials definitely make nicer slings. I tested it with a tennis ball and it worked well. It'll be nice for a 'beater' sling!

One of these days you need to make an ugly sling that looks like it will fall apart right away. Surprise us all.

Posts: 1903 California Gender:	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #7484 - Jul 4^th, 2023 at 4:11pm I now keep back ups in my car so I don't have to give away my good slings P You never know if the person you are giving it to will actually get into it or not (in the chance encounters where I'm giving them away), so I just keep it to the basics.
