How do ya do, from Idaho.
Mar 5th, 2021 at 10:21pm
 
I just started as a member here today, been browsing the forum for a bit though. I just made my first post in the trading post. Asking for feedback on my first sling design. As well as to probe for interest in trades or anyone wanting to buy a custom made sling. I put a lot of time and effort into my slings. I will post a picture of the one I started work on today. My post in the trading post has pictures of my first one. With this one I am going with smaller cord and a self un winding weave, to help self eliminate twists between throws. Thoughts, tips, and tricks, are greatly appreciated. Thanks slingers.

Howdy from South Texas!

I am always up for a trade.

Since you asked for feedback, my first suggestion is to add metal eyelets to your leather pouches. That will drastically improve the longevity.

I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES!  Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“  -Jesus the Noodler
