Overview
A handmade paracord throwing sling in the old shepherd's sling style, used to launch a stone or ball by hand rather than with elastic bands. It runs roughly 95 inches (2.4m) and is adjustable, sold under the Halo name as model PH-3-SLING-BR2.
Despite sitting in a slingshot category on the listing, this is a hand-swung sling, not an elastic-powered slingshot, so the technique involved is closer to the ancient tool than to a wrist rocket. Low stretch paracord is used because a sling relies on the cord holding its length through the swing rather than stretching the way slingshot tubing does.
- Approximately 95 inch (2.4m) adjustable length
- Low stretch, high strength paracord
- Large pouch fits a tennis ball
- Handmade, model PH-3-SLING-BR2
Who it's for
Fits survivalists who want a compact, packable throwing tool in a kit, and dog owners looking to fling a tennis ball further than an arm throw manages. Not for anyone expecting an elastic band slingshot, since this one is powered by the swing.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable to about 95 inch (2.4m) length
- Low stretch paracord construction
- Compact enough for a survival kit
- Pouch large enough for a tennis ball
- Takes practice to swing accurately, unlike a pull-and-release slingshot
Performance notes
The listing credits the paracord's low stretch for throwing power, since a sling needs the cord to hold its length through the release rather than absorb energy by stretching, unlike a slingshot's bands. The oversized pouch is built to hold something as large as a tennis ball, wider than the pouch on a typical stone sling.
