Simple and ultralight way to have a bit of target practice fun on those long evenings camped by a rocky lake, a river or the beach.

Not for commercial use

Description

A braided shepherd's sling and a small pouch of rocks sit on a wooden surface.
Example of using the sling.

Simple and ultralight way to have a bit of fun on those long evenings camped by a rocky lake, a river or the beach.

Simply make a W shape out of the ends of a 6 inch (15cm) piece of webbing and tuck the end of cord into the middle of the W, sewing with a bar tack.

Cord length is your preference. Start with a metre length which will give you a approx 80cm long sling after tying the finger loop and release knot.
