Nice pic - particularly the support stand on the target. Now that looks doable :-)

I think most of us on the forum tend to use a general purpose sling length somewhere between your two sling lengths.

ie: we usually just use the one sling for distance and target.

Hello here You have a small interview we made for local tv of The Balearic islands spain.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY7EOspW594.

I want to thank to the people ho made this page.

nice video - shame about the talking ;-)

One of these days I'll have to learn spanish lol

Have to admit as well as being a lot more accurate than most of us you're definitely more photogenic as well lol

I agree with the rest, you are doing an exellent job for us slingers.
The video was wery good, but I have almost strained my ears to understand a little of what was said
It also lead me to some other balearic slinger videos, with many different slinging tecniques.

Seeing your slings gave me reason to roll out the hemp again,and I braided an almost 200cm sling yesterday, and an 110cm long one today. But I still leave the leather unsplit. Both slings seem to work fine. Usually I make them 150-160cm.

Impressing how easy you make it look, that is what many years of practice do to you, I guess.  And it must be nice to live in a place where slinging is considered a normal thing to do, for normal people

Hello I have diferent materials for doing the slings:
PITA is white and is the best one, all is natural, we cannot use sintetic materials, and the pita is the most resistance and flexible.
Other material is "CAÑAMO" is diferent colour a bit more harder, but it works like the same the only thing that the end of the sling (the tail) brakes much faster.
ESparto is very very hard and they used for throwing only tennis balls, and iniciation.

CAÑAMO is hemp

iv never herd of pita before though ill have to look about on google see what i can find

wow you are a big guy!
