Hello to all from the UK (Read 311 times)

duncan_a Novicius Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 3	Hello to all from the UK Dec 14^th, 2025 at 6:24am Just a quick hello to all as I start out on this fabulous new hobby. Already made a paracord sling and starting a woven jute sling but need to learn a lot more…technique especially. Looking forward to learning from everyone here!

Here’s the first two.

The paracord split pouch very much based on the Panslings one…I’ve ordered a couple of those too for my brother and I to play with when out kayaking in Scotland.

The braided Balearic style turned out OK but a little short for me, but has been a useful learning exercise. The next one will be bigger and better!

I’ve slung maybe 50-60 shots with the paracord one and starting to get a feel for it and the various slinging techniques. Lots to still learn though…

All good man. I resized them for you. We have instructions for Windows and Mac here: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1676672557. If you're working from a phone or other device, a quick search online with the model number and something like 'image resizing' will usually find instructions pretty quick.

The slings look good! Thumbs Up
