(This turned out to be wrong lol) While the tail should stabilise the flight, it will cut down on distance. Which might be a good thing It should also make it easier to find. So several potential benefits, just not distance.

I think you have to make holes into them. But I never tried making whistling ammo.

I haven't done this, but having the opening protrude a little should make the sound clearer.

Newbie to slinging but caught the bug with a vengeance and making up for lost time. I've tried the split pouch and I can't keep anything in the pouch. Yet on the other hand the solid leather pouch I can hold something the size of the neighbors cat in it ,without fear of dropping out Can someone explain why the split pouch is so popular? Am i missing something here?
