Today I came up with an idea for a really weird sling. Okay, so the sling idea is basically the entire sling except the finger loop and release cord is the pouch. Specifying on that, a simple thing you could do is take five strings and tie your regular finger loop and release knot. You would then, in theory, have a working sling on your hands. Right?
I believe this is mentioned in the redwall series, these were made of jute, or something. I have tried them from burlap, they are good, but they must have heavy ammo, as there is quite a bit of air-resistance. Brian Jacques must be a slinger or something, cause he has everything very accurate as far as information goes. Redwall is one reason I sling.
I will have to make more out of burlap and post pics.
here is a horrid drawing of my sling that was done in a little over 25 seconds in PINTA
