Sling

Description

A good quality sling is a simple yet highly effective ranged weapon, crafted with care and balance rather than crude materials. It consists of two strong cords, often braided from leather, wool, or plant fiber, joined by a well shaped pouch designed to cradle stones or lead shot securely during the throw.

When used by a skilled wielder, the sling can hurl projectiles with remarkable speed and accuracy. A properly weighted stone can crack bone, shatter teeth, or stun even armored opponents, making the sling dangerous despite its humble appearance. Its range and striking power depend greatly on the user’s technique and the quality of the ammunition.

Lightweight and easy to carry, a quality sling requires little maintenance and can be concealed almost anywhere. Favored by hunters, scouts, and shepherds, it is a weapon of skill and patience, proving that careful craftsmanship and training can turn the simplest tool into a deadly arm.
