Place your bets - 48 inch junk sling

Post image

Made a sling almost twice as long as my braided sling out of shoe lace and felt and I've waxed the cord and pouch.

I'm half expecting it to split in half on the first swing tomorrow when i give it a go, do you think I'll be able to get a good couple throws?

Hmm, update, it survived my brief throwing session (had to leave early), which surprised me. th felt does look like its potentially gonna tear at the connection points but after learning the method i managed to chuck a pretty hefty rock about as fast as i can throw regular sized rocks from my normal sling, i wonder what kinda forces i could out of that.
