Leather Whipping (Read 1259 times)

HuntsmanSling Funditor Offline Sling Maker Posts: 687 Vancouver, WA Gender:	Leather Whipping Jan 23^rd, 2015 at 7:22pm Okay so I just found this sling tutorial and it shows the construction of a leather whipping for the sling. I've never seen this before. It's at 2:40 in the video. My question is, does it still snap? Any experiences? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LeMeThTR9Q&x-yt-ts=1421914688&x-yt-cl=84503534

Try it...its only a small bit of work you could easily take off if you don't like it . I would personally find a less bulky option.

I have put some large knots in braided curtain cord slings, they work fine once I use them for a while. As far as the crack, not a clue. At a guess, it probably will if you throw really hard.
