MORE FREE SLINGS FOR BEGINNERS
Apr 19^th, 2010 at 4:15pm

Here is a sling i made to just give away to a beginner in the sport who may not have a sling or is still learning how to make there own the sling is 30in [this is from center of pouch to release node] and made of cotton it is made for tennis ball ammo as i think this is the best ammo for a beginner to use [its soft and wont kill some one when u miss] i only have one of these so who ever PMs me there address frist will get it i do hope to do more of this so if u miss this one try back latter as i hope to have more soon Grin

Like i said this sling is made for tennis balls and will holded and shoot them just as well as any soild pouch sling it will not throw rocks and othere ammo as well but i dont think a beginner should be throwing rocks at first if some one gets it and wants to throw rocks or othere ammo with it then they should sew a leather pach in or put in one of duct but this is on them so u do have a good pint aardvark Wink

I'm not one to ask for things. I was raised that if you can't get it or make it yourself then you don't need it. However, I've attempted two slings at this point and neither meets my expectations of what sling should do... now, I know some of this is user error but it would be handy to have a sling that I knew wasn't bullox to learn with. I'd be willing to pay for shipping if you end up with an unclaimed sling at some point.

Many thanks,

Kerugma

EDIT: I decided I should keep trying and ended up with a much more functional rock slinger.
(not sure why the pictures didn't link -

because you didn't click the 'insert image' icon first (top left looks like a picture in a frame, and you used the wrong link - CA

)

Not that I'd say no to another to play with but I'm really pretty happy with this one so far... threw rocks with it tonight till it was too dark to find ammo. I managed to hit the tree about 50% of the time which is a HUGE improvement over how I was doing with the other 2. I think with a few years of practice I might get good at this.

Posts: 2504 Norway Gender:	Re: MORE FREE SLINGS FOR BEGINNERS Reply #13 - May 10^th, 2010 at 2:05pm Excellent sling, slingingrat, and I love the pouch. In fact nearly similar to some I made, and even gave away a couple of to people I know distantly, back when I had suitable leather. A safe bet, a sling like that , it will surely be a great aid for a beginner. timann
