Your cart is empty. The Shepherd’s sling is a low cost, high impact projectile device that leverages human ingenuity to enhance the strength and skill present in all of us.
Throwing Sling is also a simple and elegant device.
How Does It Work?
Throwing Sling works through the principle of leverage. By extending the length of the thrower’s arm, it enhances the speed and distance a projectile can be thrown.
To use, the thrower holds the ends of the sling (ring on one finger, bead held between thumb and forefinger) and places a projectile in the leather pouch.
With one simple swing and release, a practiced user can generate huge power or cast a lightweight tennis ball long distances at the dog park to burn off the excess energy of your furry friend.
Package include:
1 x Shepherd Sling with paracord (balls not included)

I liked the way this sling felt and preformed. It is fairly easy to use and hard to master. This type of sling can generate a lot of velocity when hurling a golf ball size rock a few hundred feet. One has to be aware of their surroundings so as not to cause physical injury or property damage. this is fun to use.

This thing has been great for launching tennis, and lacrosse balls. It comes as advertised. I bought the model where the Paracord weaves through the pouch. This is much easier to tow around than a lacrosse stick or a ChuckIt. Anybody can use it I would recommend it To anyone that needs . I would especially recommend it. for anyone who loves playing fetch with their dog.

Nicely made H or Butterfly Pouch sling, with extra touches like grommeted cord holes at the ends, and decorative stitching, and adequately long paracord for the release and retention cords -- so you can adjust the sling length to suit you. The leather of the pouch is strong yet flexible, which is always a good thing. Almost ready out of box, it only took a couple minutes to tie a retention finger loop in one cord and a release knot on the other cord an equal distance along.So far I've flung a couple hundred rocks with this sling comparing it to similar pouches of my own construction and others. Very nice indeed. It handles light ammo like 3 ounce gold balls to rocks twice that heavy easily, and small railroad ballast pebbles to larger than tennis ball sizes as well.Because the design is forgiving, this is a good choice for a neophyte slinger to start with.

Been a long time since I've used one of these, let alone made one.I would have made the pouch a hair bigger, but that's personal preference, this one is quite functional. Materials are strong and long lasting.They don't affect form or function but ( again, personally ) I would have used some different knots for a more " finished " look. ( check out the possibilities with macrame or marlin spike ).People who have never used a shepherd's bow should realize using a sling, while not especially difficult, does take some practice to come near your target. Give yourself plenty of room, Have fun.

Better than the paracord and duct tape home made version I made, certainly better than the stick things. It throws well, vary rarely drops the ball, can be used to pick balls up off the ground, and the knots can be adjusted to fit anyone 6'2" or shorter. It can be packed small easily, about the size of a tennis ball. Only upgrade is to throw something denser than a tennis ball, a rubber ball the same size but heavier goes twice as far.

The Parallel Halo Leather Shepherd Sling is brilliantly good. The grandchildren having been slinging small tennis balls about the back yard having a lot of fun, and the dog is in seventh heaven.
