<span class="postbody"> I think paracord</span>

 

when I first got into shooting I used a wrist brace, but not anymore!<br><br>there are loads of videos on youtube for making slings and lanyards, make mine from paracord, the only thing is though it can be quite addictive! <br><br><img src="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/urban_paladin/2011-04-05133457.jpg" border="0" alt="">

 

I use rubber tubing for lanyards. I tie it on with string and it works nice cause it sticks to your arm sorta.

 

I had a bunch of army lanyards laying around so I drilled an I hook into the bottom of a natural and put a lanyard on it, they help with storage if your going to hang your slingshots.

 

I paracord definitley. There are many tutorials online showing how to make different patterns. I put small lanyards on my EDC knives that I carry.

 

Some one needs to make a gold chain lanyard/necklace slingshot. ... slingshot bling!

 

i need to make some of these.

 

where do you get para cord

 

paracord, or, if you don't have one, you can try some shoelaces <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" longdesc="15">

<span class="postbody"><br><br>I've found ebay to be the best place if you like in the UK, though if you're stateside it seems you can buy the stuff pretty much anywhere lol</span>

 

awesome craft. i should look up how to do this. i have some cheapo dollar store paracord that would be just fine for this.

 

it makes for a nice little sideline too, I sell a lot of key fobs and ropework stuff to the tourists through a local craft shop in the town <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2">

 

yeah good idea.. you can wrap up anything with them

 

it all goes down well <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2"><br><br><img src="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/urban_paladin/2011-09-12101433.jpg" border="0" alt=""><br><br><img src="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/urban_paladin/IMG_0032.jpg" border="0" alt=""><br><br><img src="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/urban_paladin/2010-11-01195122.jpg" border="0" alt="">

<span class="postbody"><br><br>we've had a few cruise ships in over the summer too bringing people into the town here my stuff has been flying out, I've gotne trough over 25 walking sticks, 12 love spoons and knocking 300m of paracord in stuff I've sold this summer <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2"> next year Ithink I might add slingshot sto my sales inventory if i can get some good forks over the winter <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2"></span>

 

holy crap.. i did not think you could go through walking sticks lol.

 

well I make and sell them too, I don't have any left to put up any pics I'm afraid, all the ones I'd carved this year have gone... nice little earner too, some simple animal carvings and a bit of bound ropework, as a hand rest- an easy £30! <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2">

 

cool idea. I plan to start selling slingshots soon, but mine wont be cheap.. I consider them art works plus I couldn't afford to sell them as cheap as some of the vendors. <br> I am really new to this and all, but I must say, my slingshots are awesome lol. *tooting my own horn
