Doc holding several slings he has
made. |

Note that one end of the sling has a
loop and the other a knot. You operate the sling by slipping the
loop over a finger of one hand. The knotted end is held in the same
hand. A projectile is placed in the pocket (netted part). The entire
sling (with projectile) is whirled around and around, horizontally.
At the right moment (which you learn after a lot of practice!) you
release the knotted end and the projectile flies with great speed
towards your intended target. |

Another sling, made entirely of
netting. Again, note the loop at one end, and the knotted cord at
the other end. |

Another sling, this one with a cord
made of 3-strand reverse wrap cordage. |

Doc uses these sling netting needles
to make his netted slings. He made these tools himself. |
