this is a sidehand throw, other one was my overhand

sorry for the wonky angle on that first one, any tips on my throwing forms?

The felt actually did hold up from testing yesterday but i figured since this thing worked better then i thought, i might as well give it something sturdier to sling with.

Its made from some shoelace and some straps i poked holes in with a soldering iron to get a split pouch. i also added a little tape just cause i cant stop using it

Made a sling almost twice as long as my braided sling out of shoe lace and felt and I've waxed the cord and pouch.

I'm half expecting it to split in half on the first swing tomorrow when i give it a go, do you think I'll be able to get a good couple throws?

I made my first braided sling a month or two ago, and i've used it quite a lot (with quite a few rougher rocks because there aren't many smooth rocks in my area) and the paracord near the pouch on the release side has been noticeably damaged and frayed, in one little spot i can even see the inner cords. For now, i've covered those sections of the braid with a layer of waterproof tape, and i've coated the pouch in candlewax. I was just curious if this would really help prolong my slings lifespan, or if it might hinder it performance in any substantial way (havent gotten a chance to use it yet). Should i get used to having to braid more slings in the future every couple months? im also curious what methods other people use to prolong their slings.

made some riv art for fun today
