Hello and thank you for accepting in the forum.

After a few years I returned to the slingshot. I'm glad I found this forum full of information and advice.

Welcome!

Greetings from Sherwood Forest in England.
Be happy and welcome.

Nice work.  I've said this many times.  Jute is my favorite sling  material.  It's cheap, has almost no memory so it's easy to work with, and makes a good looking sling.

What matters is that it feels comfortable and works well.
If you like a thick sling that is fine.
If you don't then keep going and make another.
I seem to remember making around 20 untill I found one that felt right.
Good luck and keep going.

So I made another.

This one is better for me.

Have you got some tips how to improve accuracy?

Two deceptively simple answers ;

Practice and Style.

The first means time and a safe place. Go to it and practice, practice, practice.

The second  is go from the general board to " sling academy"
FAQs.
Watch the videos on sling styles.
Try them out untill you find what works best for you.
Then get  that style as smooth and natural as possible.
Then practice untill your accuracy improves.


Good luck and happy slinging.
