Quote:I saw it mentioned somewhere on this forum that some historical pictures show slingers at various - supposedly presently unknown - starting and ending positions. Is it really so, has nobody tried to "recreate" these positions or if so what was the result?

I include one or two such pictures from Anglo-Saxon sources, showing a bird hunter using an underhand cast. It's used for hunting because it doesn't require much windup, which would tend to spook the game.
I've tried this cast, but I can't see using it in a warlike context.
On the other hand, a lot of what we know as slingers is passed down from friends and parents, tribal knowledge if you will...
