This website sometimes has South American slings available (not necessarily from Peru): http://www.flight-toys.com/southamerica.html

Sometimes you can find them on ebay as well. Try search terms like "andean sling" or "huaraca".

Whenever i see these Tibetan or Peruvian slings I just shake my head. Soft fibers with no covering. 100 throws and they begin to show damage and they're garbage soon after.. More like decorative ornaments to hang on the wall than functional weapons..

and that is a fact.

So wait.. you've actually been using a bare wool sling for 5 years and rocks have done no damage to it? This truly has not been my experience at all in the slightest and I mean truly. Rocks beat natural fibers and that's just how it works. The only thing I've seen able to hold up to stones is solid leather over top the fibers. So I'm baffled unless your sling has been hardly used or something like that..

I think it has more to do with your throwing style than the wool or workmanship. I've noticed Balearic side arm tends to do more damage to the release chord than other styles, especially when throwing at close range where you have to change the angle of the rotation drastically and the rock tumbles on the release chord more than long lobs. I happen to be an avid Balearic style slinger which is why I might be having much different experiences with wool than you Tomas... because I've never seen thick wool defeat stone before   

Thanks for making me think on this one Tomas
