David,
Thanks for the link to my Timor piece. Had forgotten about posting it.

Hi Bill,
it seems that slingshot is widely used in the US and Canada to describe a catapult. You are correct in that sling is generally used..(to name the 'throwing type')...but have seen the term slingshot in references describing the use of slings....which makes it quite confusing.
