I'm not enterig this year, as I still owe mersa a sling from last year (not his fault - so he's definitely in this years draw) and joe a package from the year before and vetryan a mould.
Yeah, I suck, I know.

But I will be conducting the draw, from the only official slinging.org baseball cap outside of wyoming Smiley

and given that I've now got tripod mounts for my phones and ipad - I might even video it this year Smiley

Hey, if you can film that, you’ve got no excuses for the trash sling and pumpkin challenges either Wink

When's the deadline? I can't wait to get paired up for the trade.
I'm adding some "ninja-balls" for training ammo. Just balloons filled with flour, I've not been able to pop one yet. They smash pretty flat though.

Deadline is 12/1. That when the drawing should be. Just a warning. Shipping heavy items. Its gonna cost $$$$. Especially if its  international.  I send a ton of slings cross country, and international.

It's been years since I've done this. Is there a deadline for shipping your finished sling? Because I am waiting for materials at the moment. Ordered them just not sure how fast they were shipped.

Nope. Just next year. Its usually hoped for. I am still waiting for last years.but that person isnt active any more. IMO People like that should be banned from joining. Since its not fair. But its agood thing i am not a mod.

Ahh ok good. Ya the whole not getting one sucks but it’s hard to parse out who is not sending it because of something extreme and who is just being lazy. Might be good to see if we have any volunteers who want to make two slings just in case someone doesn’t get one.

I’ll volunteer but it wont be nearly as fancy as the main one I am making for SITH.

There always seems to be someone ready to jump in and send a sling to anyone who hasn't received one.  NOC is definitely in that category.

With us just doing a regular pair up this year, it's also easy to get someone a new partner if there are multiple no-shows when it comes time to send out a sling.

I will be happy to trade as many times as needed to fill the gaps. I haven’t decided if I want to go fancy and experimental for the cordage for SITH or if I will stick with the tried and true 425 paracord. I just ordered the die for my leather press, so everyone is getting a signature asymmetric leather pouch from me this year Smiley

I’m pretty excited about this- will start making it tonight I think!

As a vegan I’m hoping I get synthetic or natural fibre in the trade...

I’m happy to make an extra one or two in case anyone misses out too!

This is exactly why I haven’t started making my SITH sling yet.  If I draw your name CB, I have alternatives to leather I can use.

So for whoever gets mine I need to know a couple things.

1. Do you prefer finger loop or wrist loop?
2. What are you preferred color combos?
3. length of sling preferred? Max of 28" (because braiding is time consuming and potentially expensive lol.)
4. What type of ending? I usually do tabs and a tab will go with the sling very well. It will also be the fanciest way to end it but I can do bare cord. Can't do a knot because that wouldn't match the design but maybe can figure something else like it out
5. Some type of leather protection will be a must. That will make more sense when you get it. If this is a problem probably best to put me with another person.

Now officially this is closed. Hopefully CA will see, and possibly do the drawing today or tomorrow at the latest and post the results.
