Finger release sling holder and sling spear with finger release sling holder

Abstract

A finger release sling holder for a sling spear comprising a sling holder adapted to receive a spear shaft, said sling holder is notched to receive and hold the spear sling when tensioned until it is removed from the sling holder when ready to fire. The sling holder may be attached to the spear shaft in a variety of ways; however, once the sling holder is attached, the sling is placed therein. Now the sling spear is in a cocked position, allowing the user to lightly carry the weapon, making maneuvering through the water easier and more enjoyable. Once the prey is observed, the sling is removed from the holder and the holder is used as a handle improving the fisherman's ability to hold onto the spear during firing. Releasing grasp of the holder, while retaining the sling, allows the sling to propel the spear through the water towards the target.
