hobbles,

I think ya done REAL Good! How do you affix the sling to your ML and not obstruct your sight picture?

Oh, one more thing, as Columbo would say: How many slings are you going to make for all your frinds here? LOL.

Nice work and interesting link...thanks.

That is one of the projects on my 'to do' list for my muzzleloading accoutraments....make a rifle sling and fancy it up with some Indian beadwork. However, the plan is to use it to sling my muzzleloader ONLY while my hands are busy doing something else, like draggin' out a deer!;)

Hay boys, I just received a post on nother board bout the leather braid url I posted, He was makin fun of the nipple stretcher,,, I got to thinkin how/why would you want to stretch a nipple? How would the hammer hit it? So I went back to the site and looked for it,, THEN I SEEN IT ALL.. I didn't know that was all there, I just typed in 3 strand trick braid, that url came up and I did what it said, I better read more next time, heck,, now I better go and get some more leather,,,
