speedytriple Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I do my own also but use a king cobra knot on mine. They do take some time to tie though. What did you use to attach it to the gun? Edited August 25, 2013 by speedytriple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentcropduster Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Especially w the blue in there. Takes me like 30 mins to do a bracelet that color, plus I'm OCD about it lol sent from double thumbin' it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I can do braclets in five mins. Up to three colors. You just need to tie a few hundred of them the speed will come with more practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made monkey fists, snake knot lanyards, etc. The reason why it takes me so long is I use a single strand of blue in the middle of the weave and have to keep straightening it while im making the bracelet, plus I'm just OCD lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned most of the stuff i know from a blog spot called "stormdrain's blogspot" google it - the guy who owns the site is a freak when it comes to paracord.

Scruit Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 About 50' of paracord in the sling. Looking at doing a belt now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The ones I tie with the king cobra knot uses anywhere from 80-100 feet of cord depends on the size of the sling. They take about 3 hours to tie, if you can knot fast if not closer to 4. Scruit how did you attach yours to the rifle? I still do make them if there is a interest pm me with details.

ReconRat Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Semi convinced me to do a 1 1/2" belt. Combo paracord and adjustable webbing with quick disconnect buckle.Found the weave that will cut and quickly liberate a single cord. Kinda neat. Yeah, webbing doesn't cost all that much either. Nor does the web adjusters and buckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Have done an adjustable sling before with the webbing and cord for a guy that wanted more adjustable then preset length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
