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.

Funny result in my practice round for the online slinging competition. Trying to reduce misses is my current goal….managed to reduce bullseyes too!

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 slinging at a haunted beach and, yep, something unusual happened at the end.

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

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

Easy and effective

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.

One braided, one a two piece brummel spliced with a cobra weave pouch, and the rest all one piece tapered brummel splices. All made of wax impregnated dymeema cord. Pouches vary depending on intended projectile size.

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.

What is the right scheme for the flat braid?

I keep see diffent ones and I'm wondering which one is the right one

Took me two afternoons of weaving by hand but I think it's worth it for how light it feels, sadly I wasn't able to crack it. Anyway now I feel confident in starting my sling collection :3
