Here’s attempt #2 with a riot shield.

Less awkward. Someone on YouTube recommended putting ammo on the opposite side… that helps!
Accuracy, power, and rate-of-fire are all worse than without a shield, but for some situations that might be a welcome tradeoff.

Good stuff! Good throws despite the shield size.

Considering you are completely new to the large shield and sling, I imagine with tons of practice a person could sling pretty hard even with that shield. With a buckler or a smaller shield it might not limit them much at all after plenty of training.

I don't have a shield, but I've attempted to simulate one, and it feels very handy with it.

Von außen mit Leinen bespannt. Innen mit Hirschleder. Der Rand wurde mit Rohhaut verstärkt. Diese Bauweise ist historische nicht korrekt. Aber es ist unglaublich stabil.
