    Default Sling (weapon)

    Anyone ever used a rock sling before? I made one last night, just to do it, but the size is off.

    I made this one, and it was actually kind of a pain the neck, but I was proud after I had finished it. I'm going to make another one tonight that I can use with tennis balls to learn on. The site www.slinging.org seems pretty helpful.

    ETA: The world record distance for launching a projectile with a sling is 477.10 METERS, using a 50" sling and a 2.2 oz dart. Record was set by a guy named David. Heh.

    The world record for launching a stone is 437.10 meters.
