Do we have a new weapon? " short range guided staff sling" . I think it would be useful for small game hunting at short ranges.

It marked the target but it seemed to just be paper on wood. Speaking of staff slings though, I really need to go out and give mine another test with the now shorter sling.

Reply #2 - Mar 9^th, 2020 at 4:32pm I think his technique is fine but there is nothing wrong with holding the line with your index finger as I do. To control the plug and make it's path shorter you can just pull the rod up and back to increase the angle of the rod to line and consequently the friction on the line as it leaves the top eyelet.
