I have to agree that the Clan of the Great Bear books were badly researched as far as using the sling is concern.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I don`t read it as too exagregated, the reloading/double shot is described as similar to the Tint method with just a couple of stones picked up from the ammo pouch with the off hand, and Forsyth claimed Apache Grandfather was as accurate as Ayla.
Tint, thanks. I would happily join the team
My method is incredibly natural and easy, when using figure8 and loading the ammo with the slinging hand it`s in fact impossible
not to do it. Aussie does the same in his video, sans the waist pouch, but the ammo should be as close at hand and accessible as possible.
Then it is just to to practice a lot to get rid of hesitation, fumbling and superfluous movements (zen, empty mind, whaddayacallitt
)
I focus on smoot and efficient, I prefer not to rush and hurry, as I`ll not let my accuracy (as it is) decrease in favor of speed.
