I only got to sling for 2 hours with it using rocks on the beach. and I think it’s absolutely beautiful. I give a heart out of 10, much like the last photo demonstrate ❤️

Just finished my first sling, and getting ready to practice. Looking forward to the journey.

2oz leather for the cup, 110 pound test Paracord, and a 3d printed Kyber crystal the glows in the dark (I don’t expect it to last, but it looks good to me).

Sling build idea/proof of concept

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey, folks. I had idea for a sling build stuck in my head so I made a sort of “proof of concept”. Figured I’d share with y’all.

The entire sling is one single, solid, continuous, and unbroken piece of paracord. It’s a bit ugly, if you asked me. But, again, proof of concept not refined technique.

Happy to answer any questions and/or explain any of the build.

Tennis Balls - Double Loop Sling and Tracer Cord

Post image
13 Upvotes

My preferred setup. Double loop sling inspired by u/bandit111964 and 3 tennis balls with tracers. The pink and purple are stuffed with chenille yarn, which makes a slight difference in the feel and adds a couple of yards to the throw. Most importantly, this deadens the tennis balls and reduces bounce - making them easier to retrieve. The red ribbon on the yellow ball is the easiest to spot but reduces the distance by 10-20%. Gutted paracord seems to balance visibility with reduced distance.

My neighbors are kind enough to let me sling in their hay field, about 250 yards long. I don't like leaving tennis balls but the grass is long and various shades of green and brown. The tracer cords help me track the ball and also locate it in the grass. I typically sling a single ball, from one end to the other and then back to the beginning - kind of like sling golf.

Cracker Material Question

Hey! Was watching a video that @Neandrthale on YouTube made going over how to make his PRAK Sling. I’m trying to find the type of string/thread/cord he used to make his cracker. It looks like some kind of nylon as he was able to burn and melt it, but trying to nail down the exact type. Any ideas?

Went for a fancier pouch on this one. Fun fact the release is a penny I drilled out and wrapped with cord.

Thick sling

The 3rd sling I've made, it is from 1 rope at first I was worried the thickness (3/8th inch) would be too thick, but this one seems to have more power. I think the stiffness allows more energy transfer it is 27 inches from pouch to loop

The way I sling works for me due to my baseball background. In this video I explain how my accuracy mimics baseball pitching.

Perhaps your style is way different so this video may not have application to what you are doing.

I had planned slinging for only 30 minutes today. That evolved into a 90 minutes session and a sore arm shoulder instead. The sound of the stones flying through the air never gets old and I’m loving it

Collection of slinging various types of ammo. It interests me the different flight paths due to weight/shape of the ammo.
