Hello from Houston, Texas
Dec 14^th, 2020 at 12:47pm

Hello everyone, my name is Mariano and I just recently got into slinging, about a month ago. I'm originally from Argentina and as a result I am very interested in Andean slings and weapons. Since the time I first started slinging I've created a variety of slings of different lengths, mainly using artificial sinew as the cord material and tooling leather for the pouch. Browsing through this forum I saw some posts about Boleadoras so I'd thought I'd post a picture of the ones I created as well. I'm looking forward to being an active member of this forum and meeting all of you.

Oh ok. I'm in the League City/Seabrook area. We have quite a few slingers from Tejas. Glad to have you!

Excellent slings! Welcome. Andean slings were what first drew me to try woven/braided slings, and now I can't stop making them.

What material do you use to braid them? I tried using Llama wool yarn but it feels very elastic. Do you also have any in depth resources on how to get designs and patterns in the braids?
