Hello All,

I have been hooked.  I started watching the YouTube Practical Paracord channel and I thought "I could get into that".

I reviewed some of the posts on how some people make their slings.  I made some slings with some materials I had lying around.  So far, I have made 2 simple rock slings, 2 seatbelt slings, and I have tied a Peruvian Shepherd's Sling out of paracord.

I took my wife and dog out for some practice today throwing some tennis balls, and we had a blast.

Obviously, anyone who has attempted this knows how easy this looks, but how hard it is to actually be accurate.  I am looking forward to learning more about slinging, making more different types, and practicing.


Ohh yea, Im from Michigan, USA, EARTH  Grin

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. 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

I have to ask, who retrieved the most tennis balls, the dog or your wife ? whistle
