FAQs

Why should i buy a practical paracord sling?

Three words: split pouch design. The split pouch design has a slip resistance and adjustable smile. These slings are the first of their kind. This design allows for the widest range sling there is. It is big enough to sling a baseball, but with a little adjustment it can also sling a golf ball. Made of Paracord for durability.

HOW ARE THE SLINGS MEASURED?

Smiling Slings are measured by the full length between the finger loop to the fancy knot connected to the whip cracker. A folded sling is half of the actual measurement of your Smiling Sling. It is important to take extra care when considering your sling size since our measurements are taken differently than other companies.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE SLING TO ORDER?

Depending on what you’re looking for, we can find the best sling suited for you. I have included a size chart and video on all sling product pages. Pro tip: accuracy will always be sacrificed for speed.

What is the purpose of the finger loop? How do i use it?

The disbursement of weight and the braided double finger loop adds cushion to slow down blistering by 50%. I personally recommend slinging with 2 fingers because that's how a baseball is thrown. One finger in the loop does not allow for enough control.

what’s the significance in choosing a color pattern?

When you receive a two-toned sling, the color pattern serves a purpose. When slinging fast and reloading you want to find the right side of the sling. It's the straight line pattern.

Are the two knots really to make a smiley face?

No. The two knots are called Fancy and Cinch. The fancy knot at the end of the sling isn’t just for style, it is a knot that can easily be adjusted. Smiling Slings never have to be adjusted, but having the option is always purposeful. Behind the fancy knot is a cinch knot that keeps everything in place.

What is that loud pop?

When using a Smiling Sling, it will make a loud pop after every successful throw. This is because of the whip cracker intricately placed on every sling. Made from real kevlar, these whip crackers are durable and loud. They can easily be taken off for stealth or replaced in seconds.
