That's a really cool looking piece! Am I right in thinking the extra detailing on the pouch is for gripping the ammo?

Yes, but because you work with leather i will leave yours plain.

Ooo I like a good challenge!

JudoP, your slings will have leather elements!

Or not. Flip a coin. RickkyBandit- My preferred sling length is 24"/ 61 centimeters from loop to folded pouch. Everything else is completely up to you my good man! Can't wait to see it!

So I believe it is possible I may be asmptomatic or in the incubation period. Maybe not infected. So Tomas, do you want to take the chance or wait? What do you all think. Should we be mailing slings all over much of the world?

From what I've read, COVID should only survive on clothing and fibers for 2 days or so when everything else is optimal for its survival. I think any risk when exchanging slings is going to be minimal.

+1 to Kick's comment. If anyone is concerned, the package can just be put in a plastic bag and tucked away somewhere for a little while longer.

Walter, I appreciate you bringing up this subject. It is something that we should be aware of and sensitive to.

I do agree with Kick and Joe though. The virus can't survive for extended periods on surfaces. As long as the sling/package has sat for a ~week, they should be safe to handle even if there was SARS-COV-2 somewhere on the surface.

bear in mind that any full redraw will throw up other incompatible pairings - random IS random

I did contemplate just picking pairs - but the random draw actually turned out quicker lol

Next year - if everyone also puts who they've sent and recieved to in previous years - I can work with that.

This year - suck it up and sort it out yourselves - you're all adults (probably) whistle
