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.

It’s quite good NOOC. 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.

With the quick experience I got slinging with a Viking shield, I think the round aspect really helps. It's a lot less likely to get in the way even if it's large.

I think a shield makes most sense with a very short sling like Tragan column slinger, but more so Assyrian slingers depiction. I don't have a shield, but I've attempted to simulate one, and it feels very handy with it.

Durchmesser vom Schild 45 cm
Sie kosten bei Ikea nicht viel Geld.
Ich habe einen Schildbuckel montiert. 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.
