I noticed that my Whoopies appear to have stretched some by the loop splice and just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on whether I should be worried about failure. One thing I know I have to do a better job of is milking them once they are setup.
Sorry for the picture quality but it was the best I could do on the fly.
That's not really stretch but more that the braid is being pulled apart a little. It's been discussed a few times and the consensus is that the bury needs to be milked every time they are used as part of the bury is gripping while another is being pulled on with inconsistent tension. I change out my slings if they look really bad. Your don't look like they are to that point yet but hang at your own risk is the moto to not be sore.
