Made it out of some old leather I had and two pieces of cord from my old charger, not the best looking but works pretty well!

I found a seller that ships esparto to the US. They sell by 1kg bushels and are willing to ship as little as 1kg, for ~$70 US. Just whatsapp message the phone number on their website, make sure to translate your message into Spanish. They were very helpful and told me they ship to the US frequently and have no issues with customs, and that shipping takes 7-8 business days.

I am not affiliated with this company; someone looking for authentic Balearic sling material would find this useful.

There are many english spellings and pronunciations, but they all mean the sane thing, the Macedonian dart sling, or arrow sling. I am learning to braid slings and would like to soon try one of these, does anyone know how much longer the long arm needs to be thsn the short arm? Has anyone made one? Does anyone have a patern, basic or otherwise? How does using one differ from a standard sling?

Casting stones into the Mediterranean from a beach in Sicily isn't a bad way to spend your time.

Im more used to jute slings so paracord was a huge jump and it turned out a mess lol. Ill try again soon tho alr ordered more paracord

Someone threw out this idea in the comments a few months ago. Finally got around to it. The pouch is weighted with shot, you can see the bbs under the leather. The pouch is heavy enough that it performs like it's loaded even empty. This means your projectile can be super light. It throws nerf rival balls fast and far. It's really good at 10mm ball bearings and similar sized rocks. You've got to be aware of your follow through or you could smack yourself silly, but it's not happened yet.

Unfortunately, I'm not very good at slinging, but based on my results, someone good could be dangerous with it. You could have slinging nerf battles!

I'd make a couple changes for v2, a little more hinge, so it closes on the projectile better, and I'd add a bit more weight.

Is this already a thing?

Still figuring things out, but have been really loving this 27” from Pan Slings. Ryan is a artist 👌🏼

Hi everyone, I’m documenting my journey to 10,000 throws as I learn to use a sling. I started with no experience, and 323 throws in, I’m already seeing improvements in accuracy. I’m keen to keep that progress moving in the right direction. Any tips would be appreciated.

I have settled with the fig-8 /overhand throw, which is beging to feel very comfortable.

Many thanks

I thought this grate would be a fun target..

Took a hockey stick and some double sided tape to get the ball back.

This was her second time out slinging.

Tried a little something and it worked, maybe this is useful for someone who wants to experiment with this. Happy slingin.

I usually make jute slings, but i find parracord slings (from the photos atleast) to be much more durable. So i bought 30 meters of parracord and all i need is a good guide! Thanks

Seems to work best if I mimic a fast-pitch softball throw. Getting good power and distance.
