A '''sling''' is a projectile weapon typically used to throw a blunt projectile made up of [[stone]], [[clay]], or [[lead]]. A sling has a small cradle or pouch in the middle of two retention cords. A projectile is placed in the pouch. There is a loop on the end of one side of the retention cords. Depending on the design of the sling, either the middle finger or the wrist is placed through a loop on the end of one cord, and a tab at the end of the other cord is placed between the thumb and forefinger. The sling is swung in an arc, and the tab released at a precise moment. This action releases the projectile to fly towards the target. | A '''sling''' is a projectile weapon typically used to throw a blunt projectile made up of [[stone]], [[clay]], or [[lead]].
