I think it might be a good idea to clarify what is actually required for Sling Crafter level 4, because, in certain environments, it is very simple to make a "Survival sling" from raw materials. For example, I was once at a campground by a large pond, and I made a quick sling by taking stalks from some of the local cattails or bulrushes and tied them together into a simple split pouch sling. It worked fine for launching stuff into the pond, and I suppose would technically fit the level 4 requirements, but it was hardly a masterpiece, and most beginners' first slings are of significantly better quality. Perhaps the requirements could be more along the lines of last part of the level 4 Ammo Crafter, something to the effect of:
Must construct a sling using advanced techniques (e.g. raw materials processing, complex design/function, detailed construction methods, etc. - Moderator discretion)
Just an idea.

I like your idea actually...
Originally, this was the concept that I was going to put forth, but during the time when we were discussing this System, it seemed that the status quo was indicating that the subjectivity required for this method would not be well received. However, since this system was written for all and not just for me (or even a few), I am more than willing to take a vote on this one...
