DIY Paracord Shoulder Bow Sling

[@GBRbaptist]

Awesome vid, I’ve used 550 cord weaves to silence gear, build gun slings, etc…just recently saw the sling a ling, but that is a steep price. I found this vid looking for reviews haha. Will be making one this offseason, thanks!

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks. Yeah, i feel like the price that some charge is a bit steep and feel like it's pretty easy to do yourself. I'm glad it helps and good luck. Thanks for watching.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Nice looking sling. Always gratifying to make something yourself. I used the cobra weave on my aiders👍

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Right on. I just did a 3 chord braid for my aiders. Mainly because i was lazy. But the cobra weave is pretty easy once you get it down.

Even though you’re a Yankee I subscribed. I kid of course. Thanks for the video. This will give me and my son something to do together that he’d be proud and happy to help me make. Thanks again.

[@j.r.outdoors247]

I appreciate the sub. Hopefully you guys have success in building the slings and have a good time building them together. Thanks.

Michigan local as well been looking for a video for a while thank you!

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

You are such a legend thank you for this video If you want a 1 m sling you will need you two core string to be 1m between knots and side cords to be 5 m It’s a 1:5 ration per feet 1ft = 304 mm hope this helps 1 Hope this helps

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks you so much and thanks for watching.

[@bradbishop-atfulldraw7491]

Nice sling, will be doing this soon. Enjoying your camera arm you made me too👍

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks, it definitely comes in handy. I hope the arm helps you film some great memories.

[@PBAdventures146]

That's a cool system!! Probably could help me learn to French brade my daughters hair for them as well !! 🤣🤣. You're a DIY beast! Love the videos!

[@j.r.outdoors247]

That's a great idea. she may never have to braid her hair again if you use the cobra weave. Thanks!

[@BeardedSportsman]

First thing I noticed was the MGO hat 💪🏻

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Yes, he has a great channel. Thanks for watching.

[@aaviator]

Great video, but can you please show us how you finished the end of the sling to incorporate the loop with the diamond knot?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to put out another video that may help explain it better. Thanks for following along.

[@dostuffman2726]

I attach a carabineer to each end of the sling and clip it to the cam I personally think it's easier compared to keeping it on the bow while I'm shooting it. While I'm hunting I clip the sling to the stand so it doesn't fall.

[@j.r.outdoors247]

I agree. I ended up modifying it and added a couple small disconnects to it so i can take it off. Thanks for watching.

[@KenAlexander-k6r]

I took allot from that video and made my own

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Awesome, glad i could help. Thanks for watching.

[@tucker2074]

Thankyou

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Absolutely, thanks for watching.

Looks good man. Now that takes alot of patience lol. Glad to see your going to the R100 it’s not in WVA till September. I seen the same review on the magnet bow sling. Don’t remember the name

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Excited for the R100. I've never even heard of it until you mentioned it. I wanted to go to TAC but it is 4 1/2 hrs away an on a weekend i am busy. The R100 is 1hr away and looks pretty cool. Can't wait.

[@bkbowhunter1]

@@j.r.outdoors247 im going to go on the first day” Friday” and attempt to shoot all 100 in 1 day my wife is going along to record it

[@j.r.outdoors247]

That's a long day. I am going to break it up into 2 days. Our shoot is in August and i'll be self filming.

[@grayskyoutdoors1592]

Maybe I missed it. How much cord did you leave for the top loop and for the bottom diamond knot?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

I left a 6-8 loop at one end to loop through the riser. Then left about a 1 1/2"-2 loop on the other end to loop the diamond knot through.

[@awf1984]

Great video. Thank you. How did you weave the magnet into the sling core?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks so much for watching. I taped the magnet in place with electrical tape and then put a second cobra weave knot over the entire area where the magnet is.

[@JS3248]

Hi! Nice video! What type/size of bolt did you use? And where did you get the magnet? Thanks! :)

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Thanks, I used a 1/4-20 bolt and I already had the magnet sitting around. Wish i had more info for you. Thanks for watching.

[@jaxonrose8446]

how did you do the diamond knot at the end? going to make one of these for my bow, awesome video. thank you!

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Here is the video that i watched to tie the diamond knot. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKe8h4Nqdt-Aq5o

[@tobiasschilcher2778]

Im very bad in english, but how much paracord did u use for all strings. Thanks and damne nice work.

[@j.r.outdoors247]

At the 2:45 mark in the video, i talk about the core length. I made the loop length 40 inches- so about 8 feet for the core. Then at the 4:00 mark in the video i talk about the outer weave. You will need 5 feet of each color for every 1 foot of sling length (about 15 feet of each color). Hopefully this helps and thanks for watching.

[@kurttorbohm6382]

How did you make the magnet bolt on riser portion?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

I had a hole in my riser in that area. The magnet already had a hole in it so i ran a bolt through it and put a large washer and nut on the back side of the riser.

[@downriveroutdoorsmen]

How much will you charge to make me 1

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Honestly i would charge too much. A buddy of mine did a review of someone that makes and sells them. He makes a great product at a great price. Here is a link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZuyn3-XhqambrM

[@dwkunz67]

How was it that you incorporated the magnet?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

I electric taped it over the cobra weave, then made an additional weave over that area.

[@dwkunz67]

Thanks!

[@austinphillips9966]

I was at an outdoor show dude was trying to charge 200 bucks for this

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Yeah, i am just a cheapskate and a DIY guy so had to just make my own. Thanks for following.

[@lsufan9569]

You do realize you’ve copied a sling company that already come out with this .

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Yes, i never claimed that this was my idea. I even mentioned at 0:55 that someone else makes a sling with the magnet. A parachord sling is not something new and I'm not making these things to sell. Just simply showing how i made mine. Thanks for watching.

[@randymichael8583]

@@j.r.outdoors247 exactly best to copy someone for a third of the price than to make someone else rich!! Where can you find the magnets used for doing those?
