David Morningstar Slinging.org Moderator Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 3515 UK	Duct tape and paracord sling Dec 19^th, 2025 at 11:08am This is a tutorial for a very simple tennis ball sling made from duct tape and paracord. It is very strong and can be used with large stones from a staff sling as well.

Posts: 3515 UK	Re: Duct tape and paracord sling Reply #6 - Dec 19^th, 2025 at 11:20am Flip the cords around and pull them so they are both equally tight. Now tie another knot where the other end is. Both cords in the middle should be tight when you pull on the ends. If one cord is slack, retie one of the knots until the cords are both equal.

Pull on the cords so that they make a triangle and stick the triangle down on the tape with a very slight overlap over the first tape.

If they are not symmetrical, cut a bit more away so that it ends up looking neat. PAGE 2 ----> https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1766160535/15
