Hello from Vancouver Island Canada
Nov 10th, 2024 at 11:49pm
 
Thanks for having me. I’ve been slinging for about 4 months and practice on a rocky beach here on Vancouver Island. I made a simple paracord single strand sling with a leather pouch to start and before I knew it I was ordering a sling from practical paracord haha. I follow the online slinging competition on YouTube as well. Most recently I’ve been using a polypropylene sling I bought from Etsy made by a fella in Mexico. I’m a young (40) retired Canadian navy veteran, currently a stay at home dad to 2 girls. I look forward to reading the forum and getting to know some like minded folks. Have a good weekend. Cheers

Hello, welcome and greetings from Sherwood Forest in England.

Beautiful set! Thumbs Up


And I shrunk the picture a bit so it fits on the screen better.  We have some instructions to help with that here: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1676672557.

Welcome! Rocky beaches are by far some of the best slinging spots Smiley

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"
