>>2459643>usually around 3 pre-loop swingsyeah same, they really help with balance but i have been practicing more quick emergency throws and it's quite amazing how much punch this can pack even just by laying it on the ground to your dominant side and then swinging up and forward
i figure it comes down to that short centrifugal loop at the end, sort of like when you crack a whip, but i did notice it's key to let it go fully around because jerking it too soon it'll pull short and won't gain full acceleration
takes some practice but it's more than decent results for the effort
really nice paracord braids btw, i know how difficult it is to make them so evenly spaced, i do some similar shorter & looser ones now in autumn from jute or hemp string to sling walnuts, chestnuts and acorns around thinking some might sprout out eventually and if i catch a kid giving me stares i'll show them and let them have it
