Vent: Used a 3/4 inch nylon sling on a tricky lift over a fence in Everett and it stretched way more than I figured.

The load shifted about 6 inches mid-air because the stretch took up the slack I'd planned for, so now I add an extra foot of clearance for any synthetic rigging on a blind pick. Anyone else have a rule of thumb for nylon stretch on long lifts?

An extra foot for every blind pick sounds like overkill. Just plan your rigging better next time.

Honestly, "plan your rigging better" is what I said before my last setup fell right into the lake.
