better than nothing but not as good as a bow(a good wep to start out with if your hunting rabbits and squirrels and you don't wanna chase em down)

the prob with a sling is that you usually cannot kill it on the first throw or two, and the creature ends up running away.

I guess you could get a better and better sling, but by that time, you should be able to make a descent bow.

No sling of mine were any different, no matter the quality. Maybe if a sling is 200+ it can be of some use. As for now it's just a toy to have some mild entertainment
