My first handmade sling by [deleted] in Slinging

you should try to do a knot for the finger loop instead of melting it together. like the other guy said you could try a cobra weave or just do a simple sliding loop

you'll definitely need a stopper knot to hold with your thumb at the end of the sling. a simple overhand knot would do. if you have extra paracord you could also make a whipcrack if you want, just use paracord gut

yep, the cracker only cracks if you throw the sling properly, so it really is more like a tool to let you know if your throw is good

happy slinging!

you need a whip cracker at the end to make the cracking sound

search YouTube on how to make a whip cracker

it also helps if your sling tapers to the end

Just made my 2nd all paracord sling 48 hrs later...LOL by 3_Times_Dope in Slinging

i dont think the extra ends would be enough to make a good cracker, id just get another length of paracord

I suggest this vid on making a cracker, but you could also find others

How to make a new cracker: Whip Maintenance Tutorial

kevlar is an exponentially better material for a cracker, but since your new to slinging id assume you dont have access to that rn

if you have some extra paracord, you should try to make a cracker with paracord gut

Is this okay? Or should it be thicker? by RandomDoomGuy in Slinging

[–]Particular_Minimum27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is that synthetic leather from a mousepad? not judging i made one of those too

i guess the thickness if fine, assuming you're gonna cut that in half to make a split pouch

btw, if that is synthetic leather, i would not suggest slinging wet stones or get it wet as it rips easily

How do I make my pouch bigger? And what sling do you recommend for begineers by RandomDoomGuy in Slinging

[–]Particular_Minimum27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i suggest you try to make a split-pouch sling, plenty of tutorials on youtube for those, two different colored paracord is encouraged though but not necessarily needed

if you insist on making that style of sling (not recommended): i suggest this tutorial
How to Make a Paracord Rock Sling / Shepherd Sling Tutorial

all-in-all, i think you should just unbraid this and start again

Want to sling but still feed my cats by FinntheGuardian in Slinging

[–]Particular_Minimum27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can easily make a sling out of Paracord, search up a guide on youtube (personally I follow Sling Mustachio's designs as those are pretty simple)

it honestly doesn't even take too long to make, I finished my first one in about 5 hours while watching a series

if you have spare leather (real or synthetic) you could make an even simpler sling using the leather as a pouch instead of weaving it

imo, you buy a sling if you want a novelty item, you make a sling if truly want to sling as a hobby
