My 11 year old son wants to buy a Leupold Scope for his first rifle that he got for Christmas. I told him to save his money up and I would help him. He is very talented at weaving, and various crafts so I bought him a spool of Paracord and told him to make me a rifle sling. That's exactly what he did...and very well. I want to use this as an important business lesson for him. To teach him to save up his money for the things he wants and to use his talents to earn a living. With the "Great Paracord Debacle" on here, it gave me the idea for him to make a few to sell. I will stand behind his work and personally check each sling before it is shipped. If you do not like it for any reason, send it back for a full refund minus return shipping. I will limit the first batch to 5 slings to insure he can keep up with the orders. The first 5 orders via time stamp will be in the first batch. Black is the only color he will offer for the first batch. Average length is 36" for the sling...can make custom length if you prefer. They will come with high quality swivels. $40 shippedFirst 5 Ill take it followed by a PM. Cash, check or MO.

I've all ready got one on order from Marty, and really don't need another one. How 'bout letting me send him $10.00 towards the scope? Many have done favors for me here and I'm always looking for ways to reciprocate, especially for kids.
PM me with an address so I can put a money order in the mail.

I'll go for one on the 2nd order also, olive/black/ whatever - prefer a non-bright color. And, how about some fun details: How long is the cord in the sling? All one piece cord? Etc. Thanks, love supporting the life lesson.

PM sent would like to get in on one, can certainly wait until others are served. I commend you not only on the lessons you are passing on to your son, but also on the example of character and integrity!
