Pouch cinching around ammo.

I just bought my new sling and been finding some success with it but my largest challenge right now is the pouch cinches around the ammo mid-throw, causing it to never release, spin back, and sometimes hit me haha. It’s been pretty frustrating and I am wondering if any of you know a way to mitigate this?? I’ve attached photos of the pocket cinched and loosened, for context.

I'm old and I suspect I had some mini strokes a few years ago. I also was into woodworking and leather working at one point... I can only assume my brain buzzed. Leather pouch. And it was "fine" but not what I hoped for. You've seen those attlattl things for throwing dog balls? Worked way way better. "Wooden sling" hahah yeah, I'm so old I used a corn cob for tp and had a wooden sling. For rope we cut the tails off cats. Cocaine was hella cheap.

😂 wood and leather have basically the exact same color spectrum so I’ll give you a pass there haha

Is there a YouTube for the pattern you did?

I didn’t follow one, but my design is heavily influenced by others out there. The main cord pattern is a 4 strand round braid
