It would be great to make a bulletproof transparent protection for the camera to make a slow-motion video of the flight of different projectiles. In this video, there is no protection and a leather biconic ball flew very close to my phone. But this time I was lucky, I didn't hit him.

No, I haven't tried them. I've been meaning to though. There's still lots of experimentation that could be done.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. A lot of effort to make this happen. Much appreciated. Wish yo join you guys one day!

I had wanted to try your netted design since the moment i saw it months ago. It is no doubt an extremely effective long range design.

Excellent torsional stability, narrow and dense braided cords with very little air resistance, and a soft supple pouch that securely holds the projectile and allows for quick disengagement with consistent alignment. I was skeptical of the button release at first but as soon as i threw it a couple times it felt very comfortable.

My only downside was that i'm not used to a single, non tightening loop and the slightly different hand/finger work that requires. I had troubles aligning the spiral as a result and they tended to drop to the right. The primal sling on the other hand is constructed in style i am more familiar with and ended up being easier to adapt to. Purely a personal technique thing.

There are two cons to the primal sling for me. The pouch is small and slippery (positives in a way) and doesn't like to hold the lead glandes we had. Thats why i switched to yours for those. The other thing is that the single strand release cord is so thin that it will wear through before the braided ones would. Though if you only used it with glandes or smooth stones that reduces that issue.

Overall, this trip i preferred primal's design, but don't have enough experience with either to say anything definitive. You work best with what you're used to and i'm more used to that style.
