Oh man that's really cool! Perhaps if your daughter sticks with it she may yet become a master slinger!

5 flat braided jute with dyneema cracker square knot split pouch, 100cm or 39", when I use prewinded fibers in a strand since the winded is in one direction, when braided tends to form spirals, not a huge problem though since torsion depends mostly on fiber stability but something I'm looking foward to correct in future iterations.
I get 120 meters or 398 feet with this one and it's also very consistent, not the fastest release, compared with unwinded natural fibers but you can get used to it in a minute. It's kind of long for greek style but I still manage to be somewhat accurate in that style, specially with medium size projectiles 60-90 grams. For me the sweet spot distance with this one is about 80 meters. The pouch is with square macramé knots, since the perpendicular change in direction of the fibers in the pouch the grip on stones is superb.

Great sling!

Looks good man! How's she handle?

I did something with wool again

Absolutely beautiful sling, hubert!

This is my sling, made according to Archaic Arms guide using Hemp fiber for the body and braided fishing line for the end/cracker

Made another sling following Acro Ballistics guide on a spliced dyneema sling.

Finished it just as the sun went down so i couldnt test it quite yet but it seems to be quite fine.
