Hi Guys,

Was bored and wanted to do a different approach to making a sling. I ended up making a modular "quick release" split pouch sling. You can change colors on the fly. Replace worn out parts for. Will even allow you to instantly change your release knot designs and finger loops if you feel like it. I included instructions on how to get you started.

Tie a slip knot using one end like so. I'm using 8ft of paracord by the way to make this one component.

Now you adjust the loop to whatever size pouch. In this case I'll make a 6 inch pouch. IMPORTANT: on the other end you will need to make a little eye loop for the cord to pass through.

Completed braid of the 1/2 pouch. Make your braid tight and exit at bottom with your length of cord.

Make your second 1/2 of the pouch. Or as many as you want with colors and braided attachments.

And here is how the completed thing looks like. Incidentally I just realized that finger loops and release knots aren't going to  pass through the eye loops. My bad. So unfortunately have to undo those and tie them over again for now. I'm thinking of playing with a larger eye loop later and see how it balances out. But yes a tennis ball slings fine. A few times during reload it slips a few inches out of place at one of the ends. But loading ammo and momentum keeps the two halves locked. The heavier the ammo the better.

Great tutorial, I believe there’s something very similar in the tutorial section, similar approach, actually it’s very similar to my Mersa sling except mine is a continuous cord not 2 seperate ones.

As for “modular” slings CA said recently that his favourite sling is a Cap Paul with rivets , same idea that bits can be swapped out and replaced.

Got me thinking about bows

You have 1 , 2 , and 3 piece bows.

Similarly to slings a 1 piece sling is pretty much set , you get what you get, same with bows.
This design is 2 piece and like a bow that is 2 piece you have to match both sides . With slings there’s a little more playing around than a 2 piece bow but same applies, set length.
Now 3 piece , again just like a bow this is the design with the most “modular” function. Length can be changed. Pouch can be changed,  material can be changed. It’s basically mix and match.

Nice work anyway
A simple easy design to follow and I bet it’s perfectly functional if matched with correct ammunition.

Good job

Nice idea, something I've been doing for decades.
good to see the idea has finally caught on with a braided sling

Clever way to do it as well
