So that is what a modern sling shot looks like. I have read that sling shots were used in the army of medieval Mali. What were the traditional strappings?
Could it have been fired using a whip motion? Picture a mini lacross stick. Then when elastic bands were discovered the same tool could be converted into a stationary launcher. Just a shot in the dark (pun intended).
