how long to make it mostly

[ManiacJoe]

1. Are we talking about the carry strap on your rifle?

[w0nderer]

2. no more like 'david and goliath stone thrower' n/t

[ManiacJoe]

3. That makes much more sense given your sling-shot comment.

4. figgured as a last ditch, since most of us carry probably carry paracord...

and 3-4 knots (1 locked sheepshank for a 'basket') it'd make an improvised hunting for 'emergencies' (or fun at camp)

something like below

loop---slinglenght1--sheepshank(locked)"pouch"--slinglenght2---squareknot

and i found one recommended length... with arm at 45 degree down angle behind oneself, get approx 4 inches clearance to the ground with sling hanging down (held with stone in basket ready)

i'll have to work on accuracy (skill) but just playing around i put a golf ball 100 yards down field

this then draw the end (one on each side) though the loops to lock it ending up with a 3 string 'basket'
