step

Using these measurements do the

Locked

Brummel Splice. Directions are as follows:

s p l i c i n g f i x e d e y e

These instructions are intended for use with Samson’s Tenex and Tenex-TEC (two-end per carrier Tenex) only. Published Whoopie Sling strengths are

for Samson’s Tenex-TEC when spliced in accordance with these instructions.
Note:

For longer sling lengths, determine length needed beyond the maximum length listed in the table to the right. Multiply the length needed by two and

add resulting amount to cut length. For example: If you need a maximum length of 8 ft. on a 3/4 inch sling, this is 2 ft. longer than the listed max length.

Multiply 2 ft. x 2 = 4 ft. Add this to the original cut length (4 ft. + 15 ft. = 19 ft.). Your cut length will need to be 28 ft. to make a sling that adjusts to 12 ft.

All slings use the

same measurements

with proper size fid.

Leave tail at full volume.

Just cut end at an

angle, then tape.

To bury the tail into the standing end, make a mark approximately 2 picks from where the standing

part passes through the tail (Mark C). This will be the tail entry point. From Mark C, measure down

the standing part 1 fid length and make Mark D. Insert fid and tapered tail at Mark C and bring out at

Mark D. Remove fid and smooth the standing part out, which will bury the entire tail.
