Slingmaster's Cord – The Vegan Shepherd's Sling, 141cm Braided Jute & Nylon

Swing it. Let go. Watch it fly.

Shepherds have been whirling slings for thousands of years, and almost every one you'll find is made from leather. This one isn't. The Slingmaster's Cord is hand-braided from jute with a nylon core: all the traditional look and feel of a classic sling, none of the animal. Built for open fields, quiet beaches and anyone who has ever wanted to throw a tennis ball further than their arm should allow.

Why you'll want one:

• Genuinely vegan. Braided plant-fibre jute over a synthetic nylon core. No leather, no animal-derived materials.
• Old-school craft, modern strength. The nylon core gives it the toughness of synthetic fibre, so it isn't fragile like all-natural cord.
• A proper conversation piece. Hand-braided and a little bit mythical. Nobody forgets the first time they see one used.
• Easy to learn, hard to put down. Great for target practice with tennis balls and soft targets.

The details:

• 141cm (55.5") overall length
• Braided jute with nylon core
• Hand-braided, ships from the UK

Please use responsibly. For adults aged 18 and over only, and not a toy. Use only in a large open space with a clear, safe area behind your target. Never aim at people, animals or property, and check local rules before carrying one in public. Projectiles such as tennis balls are not included.

Calling all vegans, adventurers and the delightfully curious: this is the one for your crew.
