You will get better answers than this, but:
a sling staff is a stick with a sling attached to the end.  The anchor end is is either knotted around the shaft and the loop end either a) hooked over a headless nail driven into the end of the shaft or, b)) looped around the shaft.

It is very like a trebuchet, but smaller.  My small, futile exteriments with it indicate that it is more an "area denial" weapon than an accurate sling.

Your milage may vary.   I expect to be overwhelmed with notes exposing my ignorance.

Here's a nice little guide I dug up out of the articles section

http://www.slinging.org/23.html

Dig deeper they are there in both the articles section as well as the forum and links section of the site.
Now there is definately less information on them than on the regular hand sling but it's there.

I havwe a small three ring binder of Staff-sling stuff from this site and others.
