That looks SWEEEET! What kind of knots did you use on the finger padding and pouch?

Thanks Im using cobra knots for the padding.

Looks like an insane amount of work

And,

I seriously like your aerodynamic egg ..... is it 3d printed ?

😁👍

Takes about 3-4 hours to make, a lot of high tension braiding and splicing, my hands are pretty sore after making these. But these slings come out very dense, and last a very long time.
The foil projectile is a hand shaped river rock, I'll probably never shoot that one Cheesy

Its the same concept as your "NK" nearly knoless sling, except that instead of joining 2 dyneema lines at the pouch, its one single line going through itself entirely. The inner core of the release side is tapered, and the cobra weaves are for finger comfort, pouch grip/resistance, and locks the brummel splices in place. Every splice and knot is made under high tension. Then dipped and soaked in beeswax.

There were some stipulations. 1. It had to be pink. 2. It had to be good enough for a superhero to use (Slingirl) 3. It had to have a pouch. The letter M is her initial. See attached Happy holidays to all Cheers Al

Hi Al Paca. I resized your images. If you can, please shrink down images so they fit on the screen before attaching them. We have Windows and Mac instructions here: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1676672557. If you're working from a smartphone or other device, a quick Google search on resizing images will usually get you to the right think pretty quick.

Really nice looking slings by the way! Thumbs Up
