how i use sling? what bar do!

[maxamon]

I just made my first sing.
i trapped a deer and tried to kill it and it doesn't work.
and whats the little bar thing that pops up?

Here is how you use ranged combat.

1. Equip a Sling (or bow). You'd be surprised how many people actually forget this part.
2. Select Combat > Shoot.
3. Select Target on the screen (or portrait if you already are engaged in combat). A meter will pop up.
4. Wait till the meter charge. The speed of the charge up is based on your marksman skills capped by 2x the weapon quality..
5. Left click to shoot. The fuller the meter, the better chance you have of hitting.

on a side note, a deer probably heals itself faster than you do damage with your first sling. try it on a fox first

I prefer rabbit punching/chicken punching, they make a satisfying squashing noise. I have heard your marksmen skill should be about 30 before hunting

Yes, and make sure to fence it whatever you plan on killing so you don't end up dying yourself.
