Mostly we talk about how far we can sling, or similar related things.  Or we talk about two types of sling historically, the balearic sling, and the peruvian sling.  I would quite like to know about Native American slings, or other slings from around the world.  Anyone know anything?  I will try to research some stuff on the 'net.

Try this link in Spanish, he he, you´ll find some slings from differents countries:

I saw in a local antique mall, a box full of perfectly round stones, somewhat smaller than a tennis ball. The story behind it was a man was tillering on his property and these round rocks unearthed. The price for each stone was a little expensive. So I moved on. I know they had to have been slingstones used by the native americans. Maybe they were tools used for something else. Growing up in Kentucky, every spring when the fields were freshly plowed, I would walk the fields and gather all types of arrowheads. Some of my friends would find large spearheads. I haven't seen any slings yet, but plenty of stones. I think I'll go back to that mall and buy one of those stones!

Yeah, that website is pretty good.  Thanks.

I found a site that talked about a sling used by the Chumash indians.  Looks like they used clay balls for ammo (sometimes).

It's not uncommon for sling stones to be spherical or as large as tennis balls.
