Don't settle for cheap, imported junk!Handmade in the USA with New Features
In an effort to continuously improve my slings, I've crafted a sling with
new
features. Each sling has the following features:
•
The pouch, finger-loop, and finger buttons are all made of a
dark brown
, hand-cut genuine leather.
The pouch has a stylish golden brown decorative stitch that runs around the perimeter of the pouch
. Because the finger loop and buttons are made of leather, they provide a far more comfy grip and release than a traditional sling's corded loop & knot.
•
The pouch and finger loop are reinforced for durability with hand-pressed
solid brass grommets
(see photos). In addition to being reinforced with a solid brass grommet, the grommets on the pouch are also reinforced with a stylish
black rubber O-ring
(see photo #2). This O-ring produces a padded, yet firm grip on the leather pouch.
•
The cord is made from a sturdy Mil Spec 7 Strand Type III Nylon Desert Camo Parachute Cord. The ends are hand-seared with fire to prevent fraying. Additionally,
DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR DESERT CAMO PARACORD & THESE SLINGS, THIS SLING WILL BE OUTFITTED WITH EITHER RATTLESNAKE DESERT CAMO (see picture 5, left) OR GOLDEN SAND DESERT CAMO (see picture 5, right).
Please send me a message if you want a custom sized order with larger quantities and I can add to the number of slings available if my inventory allows.
Slings can be excellent resource:
•
For survival situations - as slings can be some of the most lightweight and effective kinds of survival gear!
•
Because rocks are almost everywhere (and therefore not provided in this auction), you’ll have access to an enormous (and cheap) supply of ammo!
•
Because the inside of the parachute cord contains 7 white strands of strong nylon material that can be used as fishing string!
•
Because slings are lightweight and portable and won’t bog down your survival kit!
•
Because slings provide more velocity and distance than a slingshot. Slings are significantly different than a sling-shot and provide far more knockout power than a slingshot. In an article by Ancient Origins (Mark Miller), it's noted that a Roman soldier could launch a projectile from a sling with the force of a .44 magnum. This particular sling can comfortably sling rocks that are at least the size of a golf ball.
•
For teaching the background of biblical stories: See, for example 1 Sam. 17 (David & Goliath); or Judges 20:16 (Benjamites who were remarkably accurate with slinging stones)

While slings are fun, keep in mind that slings should not be treated like toys unless you are slinging large marshmallows. Always keep safety first, and look out for others!
