Oooh, 14 inches! should be very snappy. Short slings are just a joy to throw sometimes.

I started with short slings, it's hard for a beginner with a long sling

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 based on this one: http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1339632628

The fingerloop is a 3-strand braid, the retention cord is 6 strand, and the release cord tapers from 6 to 3 strands. The release cord ends in a matthew walker knot.

Instead of passing another strand back and forth prior to weaving the pouch, I passed the strands of the braids of the sides of the pouch back and forth. The only problem with this method is it can make the sides of the pouch a bit lumpy. I'll attach a picture so it hopefully makes sense.

@Eino - Good find from way back in the archives. Thumbs Up

I moved the tutorial to the Sling Academy board.  I don't think canteskuyaOMD will mind.  He hasn't logged in for more than a decade.

And great looking sling!  Smiley

Just finished this wee sling here, it’s for my friend who’s not super interested in it but wants to give it a go. It’s a cow leather pouch, sized for T Balls. Nice and short! Made with a three strand braid in 275 Para. Throws really nice, which surprised me, it’s very snappy!  Smiley

Looks good! I've also found that 275 is quite snappy and satisfying to throw with. I hope your friend enjoys slinging!

@Jaegoor  Did you make the ovoid ball? or did you purchase it?
