The adjustable plastic fin is genius. I might well steal the extended pouch fin idea for my own experiments

well... basically, if you've been on the pictures thing and seen thomas's sling hand thing, you'll see that he does release it, but the retention cord just drops down a few inches to tip it out, so no, you do need to release, but the cord itself doesn't splay to the side or something.

The release cord moves a limited distance until it is stopped in a number of possible ways. Mine uses a short length of material connecting the retention and release cords, no rocket science here.
The cords show clearly on reply #719,#720,#721 on the following link.

and has anyone made a sling that can ( please don't be too harsh, i have nearly no idea what i'm talking about, but it does seem reasonable) that can reduce all the energy of the retention cord and transfer it ALL to the stone, in which the retention cord would probably drift around, but not with it's deadly crack.
good sides of this, the retention cord won't be hitting anyone and sending them to the ground for a few seconds (my friend was rolling over in agony from it), and the stone would get a lot more power

Are you possibly referring to the release cord?

What I think he's trying to say is the same concept as your slings.I have been throwing baseballs with Thomas' captive release slings at 3500'+ here in El Paso,Texas,and although the slings are performing well,I don't think the elevation has improved my distance.
P.S. Can I get slings delivered to my hotel?

currently working on a quantum sling.
The missile reaches it's destination without passing through the space inbetween sling and target.
The main problem is keeping the darn photons still while i load them in the pouch
so far haven't managed to use anything larger, hoping to work on up to protons eventually.
Your problem, as with most homo sapiens, is that you sling (and think) in three dimensions. Once you learn to sling in the fourth dimension most of your quantum sling problems will be solved. Photons are particularly difficult to work with due to their incredible speed but in the fourth dimension, where you've dealt with problem of time in general, they're easier to use. Another choice would be slinging in various parallel universes, but this can get complicated, even for me. Protrons would be much easier to use.
