Anyway, modern spears not have much in common with the Roman pilum, for example. So perhaps standardization on modern slings could be useful. Modern disciplines often do not have much in common with antique disciplines. Good examples are Running, as in ancient times athletes ran naked carrying a big, heavy shield or Boxing, where athletes had leather ropes wrapped around their hands in order to tear the skin in the opponent's face open easier and in Boxing events people were killed rather often. For slinging, I think standardization is not that necessary in events going for accuracy, as modern material or bullet shapes have far more influence on range than on accuracy
