This is a sling design I have came up with over the last few days. I really enjoy how this bad boy feels when throwing rocks. The pouch is sized in a place that can comfortably throw large rocks, (bigger than an orange) as well as small rocks, (light enough you can barely feel them) it has a freehand designed pouch, and a super soft, yet responsive finger loop. It is a real pleasure for me to throw with. I am essentially testing the waters here with this. To see if anyone would be interested in buying one. I also have the capability of lazer burning custom designs onto the pouch, fyi. My next sling project will have it done on it. It would cost a bit extra, ($15), because I outsource the burning. These slings take a bit of time and about a day to dry when making, so I am trying to think of a fair price point. Any thoughts or offers on one like this?

Not to sound like a car salesman, but this couldn't feel better unless I used eagle hide leather, (futurama). It keeps the cord from chaffing your fingers, yet still leaves the responsive feel of the cords in motion for better shot feedback. I don't want to take it off when I put it on. Maybe I am just weird, but it is just satisfying to me haha.

I decided to put the "wrong side" of the leather on the inside of the pouch. Which mainly was for looks, but also was to give a bit of traction to the pouch for adding spin to the shot since this pouch doesn't have the rifled style large stitching.

It weighs 36.9 grams

Oh and it is 26.5 inches from the center of the pouch to the top of the ring

They look quite beautiful however for me personally it’s on the heavier side . Fine slings none the less. Just a personal preference. For the right price they are fine slings for purchase.

That can be a downside of trying to sell slings, they are basic in principle and people can usually build a functional sling. But there are personal touches and details in every design I’ve seen so they all have merit and a place in people’s collection.

I've found that no one makes slings quite like anyone else. It might just be material but, like you say, there can be individual touches. It's one of the reasons I think the SITH is so great. Even if the sling isn't a work of art, I find it fascinating to see what people come up with.
