Slings

[Grooveski]

Braided up a couple of slings last year. Only get to play with them while camping and progress has been painfully slow but yon weeks rhodie bashing I done last month gave me a chance to practice a bit and it's getting there. Entertaining way to spend a sunny evening on a beach.

Can I ask, but how do you store the slings in a ball or string straigh like on a belt or wrapped around somthing?
The few I have made in the past are kept in my pocket and the strings folded with a little rubber band keeping them untangled.

those are smart - used to mess around with a paracord one but it went missing a while back - brading up a jute one sounds like a great idea

Nice slings. I refrain from using mine now as I could never get the stone to go forward. I would always hit other people or other peoples dogs or cars. (With a tennis ball)

Nicely done. Jute is my favorite material for sling braiding, cotton is a bit too bright and shows dirt more but does show up very well on camera. With a braided sling I just stuff it in my pocket but with paracord slings I like to do a cord wrap like this:

Niels, if you are at the Bushmoot I will sort out your slinging
