Hey all. My name is Lee. I have recently been given the awesome opportunity to run a ranch with sheep full time. I have been involved in animal husbandry for years but now it is full time.. and what kind of shepherd would I be if I don't know how to use a sling? So I am taking up a bucket list goal of mine to learn how to do it. Wish me luck and I look forward to all the wisdom here.


If anyone has recommendations for where I can purchase a good starter sling please shoot me a link. I am located in Cisco, Utah, USA (in the middle of nowhere (;  ) and I would like to eventually get into making my own slings but would love pointers on where to start and probably a good starter sling to get me going and make sure I have the right feel for them.

Hello.  Welcome from New Jersey and congratulations on your new position.

Welcome! Yes, of course, the fastest way to buy a ready-made sling. Moreover, you have excellent slingers nearby. But I also agree with AtomicDog. Weaving a sling with your own hands is a great way to understand how a sling behaves and what affects range and accuracy when throwing.
