Hello!I've been slinging for some time,and i've decided to sign up on this forum!
Q&A!
When did i start slinging?
I was about 7 or 8 years old when i started slinging...
What was your first sling?
My first sling was just a long strip of cloth.Big rock in middle,swung it for some time,and released.It wasn't great,my accuracy was 0%,but it kinda worked.....kinda....As i got more into slinging and slings,i made my first "real" sling.Hemp cords,electrical tape pouch,looked better,worked way better,but my accuracy was still 0%
Favorite sling design?
Rockman,Balearic split pouch,and Palestinian,as the ammunition i use are big,jagged rocks.
Favorite material for making slings?
Vegetable fibers and leather.Mostly jute cordage,and thick buffalo leather.I worked a bit with paracord,but jute cordage is still the best in my opinion.
Favorite slinging styles?
Sidearm,followed closely by overhead.
Other favorite primitive weapons?
Cudgels/Shillelaghs,Bolas,throwing sticks,and Atlatls.I have quite a bit of experience with whips,even though they don't count as primtive weapons (or any weapons...)
How accurate am i with the sling?
I'm not that accurate,but i can consistently throw fist size rocks at a big distance.I can also hit a rabbit size target from about 4-5 meters.Doesn't sound that great,but i'm proud
I will gladly answer any other questions!
