Up for sale is a hand-crafted shepherd sling!***Custom quantities of 21 or more slings available upon request***
My bestselling sling just got better! For a limited time, these upgrades will be offered at no additional cost:
In an effort to continuously improve my slings, I added the following upgrades to my traditional desert camo & beige sling:
First, I upgraded all the leather to a soft & supple 4 oz. buckskin leather.
Second, I modified the grommets on the pouch and the finger loop so that they have a rubber-ring tucked right underneath the lip of the brass grommet (see photo #4). The added O-ring reinforces the strength of the solid brass grommet and allows the grommet to get a softer yet firm grip on the leather. See photos #2-3, where I made part of the grommet partially transparent so that you can get a sense of how the rubber O-ring sits underneath the grommet.
In addition to these upgrades, you also get the following benefits from these hand-crafted slings:
The sling fits more comfortably in your hand: 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 cord is made from a sturdy Mil Spec 7 Strand Type III Nylon Parachute Cord. Additionally,
DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR DESERT CAMO PARACORD & THESE SLINGS, THIS SLING WILL BE OUTFITTED WITH EITHER RATTLESNAKE DESERT CAMO (see picture 6, left) OR GOLDEN SAND DESERT CAMO (see picture 6, 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.
·
For geocaching treasure! Shepherd slings can be great items to leave in a remote geocaching location (along with the QR code pictured above), as those who find the sling can find AND use their newly discovered treasure! The QR code pictured above can be printed and placed with the sling in the geocaching location, scanned with a cell-phone (by the person who finds it), and the code will send you to my video on how to throw a rock with a shepherd sling :)
·
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)
How do I use this sling?
·
See the following YouTube video, which contains a brief demo on how to use this sling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5Yo9_zEg28 (The rock in this video is a little smaller than a golf ball, is travelling so fast that it can’t be easily seen, and lands about 150 yds. from where it was thrown)

While slings are fun, keep in mind that slings should never, under any circumstances be used to harm other people. Always keep safety first, and look out for others!
***Custom quantities available upon request***
Always be aware of your surroundings when using a sling and never use a sling in such a way that a mis-aimed rock could strike a person. User assumes full responsibility for the safe use of the sling.
