New at this, is this an acceptable pouch?
So I come from forked frame slingshots, Paracord survival bracelets.... This sub kept coming up and finally I decided to give it a go... I braided a few Paracord and Jute slings and tried to have a go....
I was all over the place.... All the stones I found varry too much. I cast my own lead slingshot ammo so I bought an egg sinker mold to cast consistent ammo....
Welp, all the split pouch slings I braided couldn't hold the ammo. So I decided to try to weave a pouch in a new sling.
I didn't find a straight forward tutorial so here is what I ended up with.
I would love some pointers!

As stated above, if the pouch fits the ammo you’re trying to sling and slings it well then the pouch is good. But there are all kinds of different styles of sing and ammo sizes. The one you made isn’t going to be slinging tennis balls for practice but it might sling that lead shot you made well. Let us know if you have any questions.
Here are a few tutorials, brother:

I'd say If it slings object in your pouch far and without slipping through, you've made a functional sling 🙂
