Slinging Rocks!

Hello! I have been interested in slings all of my life, and after watching a primitive technology video on one, I decided to make one. This last week, I went into the woods and stripped the inner bark of an elm tree, and spun into rope. Not very supple, but it did the trick. I used a stiffened piece of rag as the pouch, which worked for about 3000 casts. I will have to replace it soon, since it slowly tears itself apart. It's a little ghetto, but it did its job for a while.
I started with an overhead cast, but I find that a single quick spin is a lot more accurate. Is this throw less powerful?
