I just searching for David vs Goliath animation in Indonesia version. Found the interesting one, this is the opening scene of that film, Im surprised that it has many slinging action. According to that clip, its seems like David use the sling all the time when he fight.  
The jump and sling scene is so epic

and you never will - because at the end of the day: nobody knows if:  
a) it actually happened
b) how it happened if it did
 
It's impossible to accurately depict a semi-mythical event that happened a couple of thousand years plus ago.
 
 
IN the video though I love the way he used helicopter style to fly. I'm going to have to work on that  
But if you look at the final throw. It's a classic balearic windup to an overhand release - could almost be modelled on jaegoor It's a good solid throw.
The animator had definitely watched some slinging videos.

Wow C-A!! How did P-J get to post under your name?
 
Most re-enactments don't follow the story as written down. Whether that story is itself true is another issue.

Well CA the truth is what it is. And the Bible is truth. The Jews keep extremely tight records of geneologies and part of that geneological line is David, David killed a man named Goliath (who was above average height) with a sling and a stone. And later gained much polularity for this and was supported when he became King over isreal. Forgetting David was King and how he got there for Israel, would be like people in the U.S. saying John Adams was a myth and that he didn't really help set up the foundations for the country.
Now perhaps he didn't and it really is just a bunch of stories, I wasn't there and neither were you, but I can trust on pretty good authority (like historical records written at that time) that he was.
 
 Now without the Bible, you cannot disprove it anymore than I can prove it. I believe you weren't there and neither was I so we both beleive it or don't believe on authority before ourselves. And I am pretty sure you don't have any video footage as you said so without that the only source of information is the Bible, which said it happened. Whether or not you choose to believe that authority is entirely up to you however.
 

David vs Goliath: As much of a myth as water being turned to wine, a man living for days inside of a fish, city walls crumbling under the sound of trumpets, woman created from a man's rib, take your pick.  
 
Belief in something is not truth. That is called faith. Just because you believe something through your faith doesn't make it true. It may be truth for you but by definition it is not truth in and of itself.  
 
I'd sooner believe that a shepard defeated a soldier with a sling before I'd believe that two of every animal in the entire world was loaded onto a boat to survive a 40 day world wide catastrophic flood. C'mon.  
 
As far as the video clip, the slinging from mid-air and summersaulting up and over the cliff's edge was awesome.

Yeah, all he needs now is an epic winged steed, some crazy powers, and a hoard of orcs!

You are missing the key factor here, which is an omnipotent God. Obviously we can't normaly do these things or they wouldn't have been nearly as impressive to the witness that saw them, that's what makes them miracles.  
 Jesus said he is "The lay, the Truth, and the Life."  Ergo, belief in true Christianity is belief in Jesus and inherently belief of the Truth.
 Many people such as yourself say you beleive only things you can see and that can be proved by science. However about 98% of the things you know you know on the authority of something else, example: the John Adams anology.  
It also wasn't 2 of every animal but more specificaly as the Bible says 2 of everu Kind of animal like 2 cats, 2 dogs, etc. With this information they calculated how much space on the ark would have been taken up this trmendous collection of kinds of animals and it ended up that only about a third of the ark was filled. Leaving enough room for food and for Noah and his family. There is also an incredible amount of modern evidence that points to a world wide flood 4,400 years ago but that would take us a bit off topic and you are looking more into the ancient records anyway.  
 Davids biography is perhaps one of the easiest to pull up. And just like we believe Julius Cesar ruled over Rome (despite out not being there we can know this on the authority of numerous accurate historical records) David ruled over israel under tha Hand of a mighty God, and got there through a series of events, one of which was the slaying of a very large fully armed warrior with a sling and a stone.
