Slinging Books In Translation
Vicente from the Federacio Balear de Tir de Fona and the author have graciously allowed us to host a copy of "L'Art de la Bassetia? - Aprenentatge i ensenyança del tir de fona", an introductory instruction manual for slingers. The book is written in Catalan. I encourage members with an interest in languages, knowledge of Catalan, Spanish or Portugese, or lots of time and some web-based translation tools to come take a look at the book and help produce an english copy.

Warning: slings are dangerous. Using a sling is potentially dangerous to you and anyone near you. A projectile slipping from the pouch, a fouled release, a broken sling cord or any of many other things that can go wrong, may result in serious injury. Exercise caution at all times. Slinging.org is not liable for damages. Sling at your own risk!
