I was a long time watcher of the pan sling videos on facebook and YouTube. Hopped on the website and saw the price of the sling. It was a little intimidating at first so I bought a cheap sling from Amazon to see if this was something I would like. Needless to say, after two days of messing around with a 12 dollar sling I pulled the trigger on the Pan Sling. Wish I would have saved the 12 bucks and just bought this in the first place. Overall quality is unbelievable. Feels great in your hand, finding your release point is very easy, and the cracker makes your perfect releases even more enjoyable. I highly recommend pan slings to anyone looking to get into slinging. If I could give 10 stars I would!
