I've always been interested in ancient forms of warfare, and you cant get more ancient than the sling.
I made this sling out of lambs leather and hemp string. The string is a single piece woven through the entire sling. It throws golf balls around 150+ meters. I hope to try out some traditional ammunition (lead balls) but have nowhere to safely throw such things.
Wondering what a sling can do? check out this guys style, and I don't mean the pants.
Wiki quote: "The current Guinness World Record distance of an object thrown with a sling stands at 477.0 m, set by David Engvall in 1992 using a metal dart"
