This is my first try at a two finger loop sling. As well as my first try with 3 to 6 to 3 strand braided cords. This one is my lightest sling yet, and seems to work pretty well. I haven't gotten out to test it yet. Once I finish my hemp/jute rockman style sling I will go out and try all 8 of my collection against eachother.

I have two slings with a double finger loop. One is a Balearic from IronGoober and the other is a Capt. Paul from NOOC. Both work great. I may have to try and incorporate it into new slings.

I have heard they are more accurate, so I decided to give it a try. My accuracy still needs work. I was lucky to hit a 2 liter bottle from about 50 yards, after waaay too many throws lol.

Hey man, for someone who just started the other day, that's quite impressive! You have great potential!

I still haven't got a chance to go out and really throw anything with this sling yet, but from tossing my high density foam golf balls around the house this sling has potential to become one of my favorites.... why am I having dejavu? The sad thing is I feel like the one I am working on now will become one of my favorites too. Anyway, this sling though, has no oscillating at all for underhand, and side arm rotation, but gets just the smallest amount when spinning overhand. It also has a nice spiralling release, at least from my half ass testing. Also for being my second longest sling it is one of the lightest, and seems promissing for a good balance of accuracy,  efficiency, and power. So far I really like synthetic materials, I am just making my first sling using natural fibers, polished hemp, and jute. I feel like as long as I keep it dry, it will become my favorite. I love how it looks with the deer leather finger loop. I might end up having to pop some leather over the weaved split pouch too, just because it looks so perty. Idk if leather pouch wraps are a great idea for a rockman sling though... we shall see, I guess, what I end up doing.
