Excellent !

Frame 2, sorry to be dense but what are the extra numbers eg x3, x1/2 and 50mm.

Surely all that is needed is 2 x 150mm x 25 mm + 2 x ~~~70cm.

Not criticism but helping with idiot proofing.

😁👍

I am relating the dimensions of the pouch to the dimensions of the ammo, which is 50mm. I make the pouch strips three times as long at 150mm and one half the width at 25mm. I wanted to show where those numbers come from.

With that explanation I now understand.

I am sure most will get it but perhaps if the stone ammo and a tennis ball ammo were done side by side ?

And, If you try to design a horse by committee why do you end up with a camel.

This style of sling is powerful and the dimensions provided are an aid to get started.
Thanks.

That may be a simple design but I would wager it will launch a rock as good as most any sling out there.
