Hello all,
...
My granddad grew up in the Ozarks, and I know that when he was young, he used to hunt rabbits by throwing rocks at them.... Now I'm curious about whether they ever used slings!

Being a granddad I'm certain slings were not in general use in the central plains; don't know about the Ozarks.
Took bunnies with thrown rocks; even more with slingshot (aka flip, catapult, bean shooter made with y fork and inner tube rubber) then migrated to wrist rocket braced slingshot with surgical rubber tubes...watch-out-bunnies.
my-bad P.S. Welcome to the forums. There is a lot of good slinging information here.
