two slings

(1/5) > >>

swamp monkey:
One was a simple leather project with no big deal about it.  The other was a stinging nettle cordage project that required some finger weaving.  I saw one in a photo collection from the Smithsonian and had to try it.  It took about 60 feet of cordage.  Both throw fine as far as I can tell.  They can more than triple or quadruple the distance I can throw a rock by hand!

Accuracy takes practice.

bryan irwin:
that's cool.

I used to make slings when I was a boy.  I was pretty good with them too.  May have to put some together again.

aero86:
accuracy takes practice?  heck, just getting your release down takes practice! lol.  i still havent found a suitable place to practice slingin  but nice slings!

uwe:
Thats something I wanna do in the next weeks. When I was a boy I made one, but didn`t get the skill how to use it. May be its getting better 40 years later.
Regards Uwe
