“Wholesale” slings
Dec 23rd, 2020 at 12:56pm
 
I know most of y’all love making your own slings, but if anyone is looking for a bunch of slings and needs them fast, I can help.

Whether you want to sell them at a gun show, give them away as gifts, or teach a slinging class... I can supply a bunch of slings that are all the same as each other at a reasonable price.

I currently have a design specifically for tennis balls, and this is something I plan to sell myself soon, but I have extra capacity for making more than I plan to sell right now. Pick any of the pdf pouch patterns on this forum and I can have them made in a few weeks  (possibly less if it’s a pattern I already have a cutting die for). I can also help design something new if you want some shape that is unique.

better pics might be a good idea.

Absolutely no real clue from the picture what the slings look like. how long they are - ends of release and retention cords etc

Well... that’s the thing. The photo just illustrates that I can crank out a lot of slings fast.  I can make a sling to your specifications. Any of the pdf pouches on the site or something different. Any length of cordage. It doesn’t matter. It might take a little time to get a new cutting die if someone wants something different than my asymmetric sling, but if there’s a need for a lot of identical slings, I may be able to help out.

You could probably offer a similar service CA with that fancy laser of yours. The die cutting method has its place though and is better for high volume production. That’s something nobody else is offering now, so I’m filling the gap... even though nobody seems to have a need at the moment Smiley

Absolutely _ die cutting is the way to go.
No burnt edges to clean up and presumably you can use them on quite thick leather.
And you can even make them in a warm room !
My workshop is currently around 12c

Well, if you churned out a few dozen slings, the laser might bump that up a degree or two Smiley

not mad keen on eyelets, but look good Thumbs Up
I think I've got one (or two) of those (looks in altoids tin in front of him.)

Ah okay, yeah if you're not going to do a loop attachment then an eyelet is a better option.

But for the record a proper loop attachment that grips the leather and doesn't stress the hole. Is easier, stronger and doesn't need eyelets - so probably quicker as well.
And it holds the pouch flat and doesn't allow it to swing.

Which isn't a big issue - but you know, nitpicking whistle
