My woven version of a sling with a clamshell pouch. What I love about this pouch design is that it allows a loaded pouch to be sleekly stored inside a pocket and it secures a stone or projectile snugly inside during draw and doesn’t let go until release.
does it work well? How does it compare to other pouches?
It helps retain a loaded pouch inside a pocket as well as in swing until release. I have had to add a few retaining cords to create a shallow basket at the base of the pouch so projectiles won’t fall out of the sides of the pouch
I have been thinking of making a sling that can throw smaller objects better, so i was curious how well this design worked.
It’s a good design but it needs a shallow basket in the middle base to retain a projectile mid swing. I think I‘ll work on a tutorial for weaving a clamshell pouch. It just requires connecting the middle of a split pouch together forming a figure 8 instead of a football shaped oval
I like the design. Curious how well it works.
this is very interesting, does it work well?
