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.

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.
