How I Sling with a Balearic-inspired Paracord Sling

Update, I have made a tutorial on how I make these slings, it is here: • How I Make my Balearic...
I have opened an Etsy store to sell these slings! Check it out here if you are interested:

I have made a tutorial walkthrough here so you can make your own sling! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZouogKuYfZ16adU

[@whatupyall1330]

Please make a tutorial on how to make one

[@vinnyphil7367]

Agreed. At least he can tell folks how much paracord he used so we have a chance to try and make it ourselves

Yes- that needs to happen!

Only need like 3 yards of paracord if you still want a tutorial i can link one​@@vinnyphil7367

I never thought of how terrifying slings are until now

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

I wish I had gotten some footage from the Ren Faire this last weekend, I put some rocks through an old 1/2" piece of OSB at 15 paces

[@patrickbodine1300]

That snap at the end. A cool element.

[@jaguarholly7156]

Dude, your accuracy is quite impressive.

[@admacjo]

I know you're trying to sell these but a tutorial on making them would be awesome. They look very well constructed compared to others online.

[@TheRealSimSalaBim]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPdeJWrbKepnNE&ab_channel=ArchaicArms I used this tutorial to make mine out of jute, I'm sure paracord would work even better!

Good video. I like how you explain the mechanics and adjustability of the pouch.

[@DrCreamFilms]

Great demonstration with a superbly crafted durable sling

[@sirchanesaw]

Good looking sling.I like it.

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

Thank you!

[@GregBoswell428]

That’s impressive. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

Thanks! I am really an amateur slinger, there are a lot of professionals around the world and even some competitions. It's a fun niche sport with a forum (like the internet days of old) at slinging.org

[@wendellfugate4225]

Well done. Many thanks to you and best wishes.

[@Keeperofrighteousness]

Nice shootin sounded awesome too!

[@russellverdin8339]

Did you make this sling yourself or did someone else make it if you made it is there an instruction video of how you made it?

[@densamme1752]

Thx for the presentation 👍

[@robedilezeus5740]

Incredible your aim, it seems difficult to hit. Congratulations.

[@dropdeadrush7918]

Six feet indeed. I'd rather get hit with covid again than that beast! Love those finger loops, you should make a tutorial on 'em. Running to etsy now \m/

[@dshodaw]

How come you're not selling these anymore? Could you make a tutorial or do you have an Etsy link that works? This one says sold out..

[@bigcat369]

That's a good video

[@sethrenville798]

With the face/facial hair combo, I was expecting the mildly impatient voice of Kratos, but instead, ended up with excited Mark Proksch, which is somehow even more fitting..

[@melrichardson2392]

It's a work of art please share how to make one thankyou.

[@elia7597]

Cool primitive technology man. I prefer something with a little more umph but looks like fun the whip crack adds to the effect.

[@hawtenslaton4307]

Nice! :)

[@bobanzikic779]

Maybe to prevent any type of projectile escaping the pouch by using some flexible heavy duty rubber bands wrapped around or rubberize it with natural latex rubber . For the Chafing why not use a very thin leather glove .

[@hinanobubbie5257]

Are you still making these Balearic-inspired Paracord Slings? I would like to obtain one from you.

[@-l-segret9554]

how do you make the whip crack? what materials you used for the tip?

[@jeanpaulmarch5702]

Great video. Could you make One explaining

[@jeanpaulmarch5702]

How to do that sling you use?

[@chuckaddison5134]

Given that the projectile is subsonic, why would you want the crack, since it will have no purpose other than to alert your prey if hunting. I can see it for target shooting but still superfluous.

[@jamesb2312]

The tassel or "cracker" has an important purpose for Balearic style and other braided slings. It functions to dissipate the energy of the end of the release cord after a throw, the cracking sound is a byproduct of that. Without a tassel, the end of the sling can come back around and whip you. There's also an uncomfortable tug on your finger when you throw without the tassel.

[@JohnDoe-kp8xu]

What is the length of that sling? I am thinking that I should buy the 48 inch.

[@salimufari]

Personally I've thrown bolas & a few different sling types & most of them do not want to be spun around really more than 2 or so turns to accelerate the ammo & then a final turn to launch while stepping into the throw. Adding the body movement into the final spin adds a lot of power to the shot. While the explanation was okay the actual usage was solid. The rubber band idea on golf balls probably would make the ball exit with a lot of slice. Last with the finger loop. I really do not like binding your hand into that loop set up. Most Baleric slings I've seen used a single larger loop with more freedom of movement.

[@Snowsergei]

👍+

[@Lost_Hwasal]

I wonder if there is a way to make these quiet so they don't crack like that.

[@johndowe6161]

🤣 Maybe by taking off the whip cracker 🤣

[@liamwinter4512]

What is the furthest you could sling a 8ball

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

Wow, I hadn't thought of slinging billiard balls before! Those can weight 6 ounces? That would be lethal, heavier and denser than baseballs. I would guess that you could get them at least 100 yards. I should give it a go sometime, maybe I will do a distance slinging video later in the month.

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

You will likely need to close up the pouch on these particular slings with rubber bands so that the billard balls don't slip through.

[@liamwinter4512]

@@MedievalTrebuchet Have you attempted a staff sling yet?

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

@@liamwinter4512 Yes they are a lot of fun!

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

@liam winter an update, I now have a set of billiard balls on hand. They definitely would not work out of these slings, the balls are polished and slippery and they slip through. But they are a great size. I think I will start making my next batch of slings with an "x" cross in the middle of the pouch to accommodate 8balls and golf balls.

[@NaveenKumar-xe9yh]

It is very difficult to fix the right direction. It is very danger to use it . I used it in childhood. From India

[@MedievalTrebuchet]

Yeah, I think the sling and stone is the hardest projectile sport to master. I definitely recommend that anyone starting out use tennis balls or something soft. Do you still shoot? I do not know much about the slinging culture in India

[@NaveenKumar-xe9yh]

@@MedievalTrebuchet no sir this art is almost disappeared. It is use to fly the birds from crops fields

[@jessebott1879]

@@NaveenKumar-xe9yh 2 generations ago all the guys on the Rez used to have them. 5 months ago i was the only one. now there are 10 of us that have them just because i gave away 9 at christmas.

I could use that on my old lady

[@SnakeBush]

[@malcolm2587]

Billiard balls

[@Princip666]

Alternate setup - wrist loop, overhead swing for greater power and accuracy.

[@congerthomas1812]

Right,those circles ain't doing much either. A friend made us 2 from a old pair of boots,used the tang and the strings,used first 2 fingers in one loop.

[@kodfkdleepd2876]

Why not add a bridge across the two straps so the ball cannot slip through?

[@javedhashmi3315]

Good question. I think and i have never held one of these is because the projectiles are not of same dimensions. I requires little freedom to grip the stones just right.
