that looks fantastic Eino! love the colors

how does it shoot; and how long is it?

Thanks!

I haven't had the chance to throw with it, but it feels pretty good. It's somewhere around 32" long when folded.

Nice emergency sling storage! I haven't put mine in the car, but I always have a small sling in my pocket.

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!"

I finished my first peruvian sling! I ended up making it pretty plain, though, as I haven't figured out the diamond patterned braid yet. Instead, I did an 8-strand square braid. My next one will probably be done with a zigzag fistbraid like in Teg's tutorial. (https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1687685411)

The material is cotton yarn, and I have to say that there is nothing like buying deadly weapons from the arts and crafts section. Cheesy

How does that one compare to the dyneema corded ones you sent out? @Blindsquirrel - Looks awesome man! Definitely let us know how you think it compares to the double finger loop.

I haven’t actually put them over the chronograph together but the dyneema (2mm) is faster but with more twitchy handling and the Kevlar has a slightly better grip and handling and approximately a 2m/s loss in speed. Very similar but some subtle differences. Dyneema is much better in the wet . Kevlar is problematic with moisture changes. I’ll probably have both in Ibiza
