New and improved Whoopi sling - 1/2 the close to tree distance

That's the "old style" whoopie, the upper grey one is the "new and improved" whoopie.

Looking at this picture I'm wondering something. On that 23" whoopie, why is the fixed eye 10" away from the bury? It seems you could have a 10" bury and still have a whoppie with a short length of 14"-16" if you eliminate the almost 10" of length between the bury and fixed eye.

I'm looking at the orange 23" whoopie in the picture above...

Exactly. A great leap forward in whoopie science. The leap of knowledge and understanding to make this new and improved whoopie is mind-boggling. To combine that with making the eye 1" long instead of 4" is pure genus.

The original whoopie/UCR idea is pretty clever but almost everything past that is just messing around.

I'm not using whoopies now, but I found that at about 170lb I had no problem at all with a 5" bury, so combining that with the bury close to a very small fixed eye (or no fixed eye... J-bend straight to CL) resulted in a whoopie that could be shortened to less than a foot.
