How to make a Balearic style sling. Part 1

Hi everyone! let's make a Balearic style sling together. 😀

Glad seeing another person who are making Balearic style slings but with synthetic materials, I used nylon rope, would like if you try it too.

So I took up slinging about a week ago. I can actually get my ammo going in, more or less, a consistent direction.

I just made up a sling using a taper similar to what you've done. Best one I've made yet! I used a different materials, but it's the one that feels the best so far.

Exactly what I've been looking for.
Thank you.

Consider the idea of Balearic Golf. Traditional golf course ... never have to use the green. Balls are golf balls. At the green area put up the standard target. One has to hit the bullseye to sink the 'putt'. This may not be an easy thing to set up in your warmer climate since the golf courses may stay open all year around. In the more Northern states the cold weather allows Archery Golf. Same idea only at the green area a plastic tube with tennis ball on top is substituted for the putting hole. If it works for Archery, why not for the Balearic skill? It should be no problem. What do you think?

If I was wanting to make a 30in sling how long would the strands need to be

[pauldean]

Excellent tutorial I can’t wait to try it. Have you made one like that with paracord. Would you use the same number if strands.

[Tboninator]

hey man! great tutorial but i have one question, how much feet of the twine did you use?

[owenthomas]

Yaas! man. Thats a great tutorial. Thank you so much

[mikeachatzi]

Hey, very cool sling, nice tutorial and great entertainment but I got one question. Why do you make one string of the pouch a little thicker?
Best regards,
Mike

EXCELLENT tutorial!! Can you tell the name of that rope material??
Cheers!!!

¡Muchas gracias! Ya he producido dos hondas, Y he tratado de tirar pelotas de tenis. ¡Es muy divertido y creo que mi honda funcione! Hecho de cuerdo de canamo. My perfectionism forced me when adding or deleting strings to split the strings and braid them into one another, so I took a while. I really like the feel of the hemp in my hands, it is nice and soft so no need to add leather for the finger. Acabo de ordenar algunas semillas para cultivar una honda y fumar las flores!

Just one question, I did not really understand the splitting and joining the braids for the pouch. so I figured out a way myself. Both slings I made had the braids next to each other and pointing a bit sideways, and when joining I have one on top of the other, and pointing more in the same direction. It works but I am still curious to know about this in more detail.

You might not see this, as it has been a year since you posted, but I was curious as to why you made the one side of the pouch thicker with the two inserted cords? Or did you do that on both sides of the pouch and forget to mention it?

[KanalYT]

This type of rope (made of polypropylene, PP) is called _"harvest yarn"_ or _"baler twine"._

[klaasdeboer]

Now I have quit drinking because it was too much, and started running and riding my bike as recreation other than shopping. I need to go outside every morning but running has to be done with moderation too. With the sling I have a healthy activity outside in the park for days I am not running.

[ryanbeard]

Is it much lighter than one made with same proportions and out of heavy natural fibers

[samboa]

My first one was made 40 years ago I have 2 now better than a gun

[Edgeedman]

Why am i watching this. I made a split pouch
