You just like to read what you want. This sentence referred to myself. Not to a beginner. You could have recognized it. Despite the lack of translation. But you only see what you see Want. But maybe the other discussions were just pure irony. Then it didn't reach me. I think it's good that you don't have any problems with my comments. Was very noticeable after you requested an admin. Sorry, I can't seem to get off the wave irony  . That may be because I'm basically a ten-year-old kid who only plays with a sling. 😂😂😂
Sorry ich finde es einfach nur amüsant.

This thread should show the slings we made ourselves, not the slings of trade. See the dedicated section. Just my idea.

Saroch, your behavior in the previous thread was really contemptuous. 3/4 of the answers to your question had reservations. You swept them away with as background music a refusal of our part to evolve. It really displeased me.

@Sarosh - Thanks for clarifying.  As Jaegoor already confirmed, I also believed that he was speaking of himself.  Mainly from the discussion in the other topic.

You are correct though that it wouldn't be acceptable for such a comment to be directed at another member.

Hi all!

It seems like my last post stirred up a bit of controversy--I hope/trust it's understood that was never my intention. Sarosh made me an awesome sling, I wanted to show it off. I never intended to start a debate on whose slings are the "ultimate" or anything like that. Also just wanna mention that I think your sling is gorgeous hubert! While it no doubt gives amazing performance and is meant to be used, it also truly looks like it belongs in a museum the way it's so intricately woven. Incredible work.

I also just want to clarify that I never took any offense to your comments Jaegoor, though I admit upon first reading the comment referencing "untalented and clueless slinger" I did think it was directed toward me (which I wasn't offended by, but did think it was maybe a bit of an aggressive thing to say to a stranger haha), but this was before I read more of your comments and was able to contextualize that you were not in fact referring to me, but rather making a somewhat self-deprecating reference/joke about yourself. I only say this to put forth the proposition that I don't think Sarosh's interpretation of your comment was wildly off-base, as I too also thought that was the intention behind it, before I understood that it wasn't.

Annnyways, I apologize for any contribution on my part that may have led to the temporarily derailment this monumental thread full of 500+ pages of amazing sling content. That is definitely the last thing I would want to do.

To wrap this up with a little more content, here's a rather pedestrian (but functional!) shorty sling I just completed for another friend. I'm at the point where I can crank these out in just a few minutes, so basically any friend of mine who shows the slightest interest in slinging has been getting one as a gift! Whether or not it actually leads to any of them getting into slinging, it's a fun little way for me to feel like I'm doing my part to expand the tradition 

You're all great! Glad to have found this community. Cheers,

Wide Right

@Jaegoor  The discussion of the 'best sling' was not in reference to the 'LD-1' sling shown by Wide Right. The discussion of the 'best sling' was in reference to the Achaean sling described in the historical text by Livy.  I think you were making assumptions that were incorrect about the intention of that conversation (the intent was not to find a 'cheat code' and instantly become a better slinger, but to see if there was any truth to the Livy text and to see if such a sling could be made), and I think you are making too many assumptions in this conversation as well.

I have an LD-1 and it is a wonderful sling. It hasn't frayed or broken down after 1000's of shots, even with very rough stones. Natural fiber slings break down much faster than this one. The release tab is an innovation that I really like. I put it on all my slings now. As commented by Joe, I think if you tried the LD-1, you would like it just as much as any other sling.

Not to leave anyone out, I also highly envy hubert's slings, they are true works of art and very functional. I have two and they are my prized possessions.

Full Dyneema Sling inspired by Kinetic Slinger's Design. He made a great tutorial, I learned a lot.

Looks great!

The sling is 38 inches (96cm), but i don't know the weight. I used around 15 meters of 2mm dyneema to make it so it definitely has a bit of weight to it, feels like a whip after waxing it. My first impression with it is that is increased the consistency of my spin/release compared to my previous lighter spliced dyneema sling. However I have less feel with lighter projectiles.
