You'd barely believe it,
but my sling broke again. This time the cords were fine, no knots came apart, it was the pouch (which granted, was a 4 sling veteran).
So in the spirit of
Practical Paracord (
massive fan) I have made my first custom pouch, it's just 2 classic pouches sewn together with a silly design, but it's a start!
Also, after testing it a bit
I realized that something about the weight of the pouch and the little design acting to keep rocks in place a little longer during the swing ( I use an underhanded straight throw) gives this thing a
huge increase in power. I'm no
scienceeneer but I do like occasionally putting rocks through small tree branches.
One final note, do any of y'all
skip rocks with your sling? if so what's your best record for skips? (
I've only been counting the big propper ones that actually jump in the air and not the 4 tiny skips as the rock tumbles to a halt).
So far I'm able to get about
6 on a good one.
