sling!

[superc0ntra]

I've practiced some slinging and it doesn't take long to throw around 100m consistently but aim is a completely different story. I'm happy as long as I can hit the ground in some general direction.

How are you throwing? Overhand, Underhand or Swinging it above your head?

Above my head just one lap. There are several great tutorials on youtube

Apologies for the slight necro.

I noticed the impressive performance of slings when I was looking through the weapons, though what stood out for me more was that a Staff Sling does more damage than an Arbalest (which is described as punching hand-sized holes in trees)!

I'm also a little unsure on the ranges of slings. Whilst they can certainly carry far, I understood that their effective accurate range vs man-sized targets was fairly short (somewhere around 25m?). Still, there's been plenty of discussion on that already and the potential solution - separating effective range vs maximum range (for massed fire/battles) - isn't particularly enticing
