I've done lots of that.  Grin
Can you be more specific?  Do you need advice on how to make it, good slings for it, etc.?

Greetings, hello and welcome from Sherwood Forest in England.
I have slung snowballs happily in a seatbelt and paracord sling.
When the sling gets dirty and wet I throw it in the washing machine.
Each sling lasts about a year before it needs new cords or replacing.
Happy slinging.
😁👍

Thanks for the advice. I'll save my sisal sling for the summer!

I just wanted to do another ice rhyme. 😃 I will be throwing ice this winter, as the usual cache of rocks is covered with snow. I've already started making a collection of ice balls from small freezer bags. Maybe I can make them into whistles. Have you tried it already?

Ha!  I missed that.  Grin


No whistling ammo here.  Not with any material.  I think it's cool, but not something I've played around with.

Sisal is cheap here in the uk.
If it is cheap in Finland I am sure it would be fine in wet conditions .....if you wax or oil it.
Happy slinging.
