Finger loop for normal stones, hand loop for mini boulders.

Finger loop 90% of the time.
Wrist loop 8% of the time.
Toggle made from a clothes peg, ( that's a clothes pin for aloominum users) 3% of the time.

The trick to a good wrist loop is not to go the lazy way and tie one down but make a cinching wrist loop, it's much better

Depends on the weight of projectile. All of our baseball slings are on the wrist, wouldn't want to pull my finger off. We're still ONLY using captive release cords and they can be temperamental.

I’ve never used a wrist loop before, but it is on my list of things to try…

Sliding finger loop.
I've gone up to 2 fingers for really heavy stuff.
A sliding finger loop has a lot of advantages over a non-slidung loop.
As it doesn't move, it won't rub or chafe.
It won't come off, seen plenty of people with a fixed loop throw their whole sling.
And if you use soft leather, it's also really comfortable.
And one loop fits any finger.
Never understood why anyone would ever use a fixed loop.
