Thrown Weapons:Equipment standards - Slings

Slings

1. Slings must be made of natural material. These include leather, cloth or other fibers.
2. The sling must have a restraining method for the hand, such that the sling cannot easily fly out of the hand. A loop that goes around a finger or wrist is best. A disc or toggle that is held in the hand is also allowed.
3. Slings must not have any rips, tears or fraying in the material.
4. Payloads thrown with a sling must be of "soft" material. Cloth balls stuffed with rags, and bean bags are examples of "soft" payloads. These are allowed to be thrown at normal thrown weapons distances using normal safety zones.
