Its 29" folded and has a paracord guts cracker; also waxed with beeswax too I struggle to perfectly center the belly, it always ends up slightly pointing to one side!

The double finger loops feel like the release cord is held off line, where as the single finger loop design feels like the release cord is directly on the target line.

That's basically the experience I get from the double finger look. I know they work because there's plenty of slingers who use them, and who can hit a target much more consistently than me. But I could never get a feel for the double loop. Even after multiple 100-Rounds, something just doesn't feel right.

I agree, the cracker is most definitely not Egyptian. I made it based on Jaegoor's replaceable cracker design so that the end of the sling would last much longer without me splicing in synthetic materials.

Just finished my latest creation; a tiny wee sling for my daughter’s third birthday. She has watched myself an my 5 year old daughter learn and has been asking for one for a while.

It’s very small, designed to throw equally tiny projectiles and be manageable for her. The finger loop is so small I cannot use the sling Grin

It’s made in two coloured jute; twisted green and a natural type with a gold filament accenting it. It really pops in the light. I also waxed the cords to make them more resistant to getting wet because she’s bound to drop it in water!
