The primitive rock sling was most likely one of Man’s first weapons besides a rock or pointy stick. The wielder places a rock into the leather pouch, begins to swing the sling round and round and raises it over their head (maintaining speed and even increasing it) One the, with a little practice, makes a throwing motion and releases one side of the cord, sending the projectile at the target.

The cord is made from dogbane and cattail attached to a piece of leather. The cord is about 2 feet long on each side made by using a reverse wrap cordage technique.
