How to Make an Old Fashioned Sling

This is a hunting tool used mainly by Native Americans and people in survival situations.  Happy Hunting!

You will need:
Some Thread
A needle
a piece of clothe aprx 4x1-1/2

Cut 2 strings a each a little longer than 2 feet

Cut a peice of material that is 1 1/2 by 4 inches.  The material should be a strong fabric or rawhide.  Then take a sharp tool and puncture a hole big enough to put the string in.

Now tie in the string by first putting it through, then tieing 2 overhand knots.  Do this on both sides with each of the strings

Tie the 2 strings together using a fisherman's knot

To throw, place a rock in the fabric. The rock should be big enough that it comes to the edge of the fabric. Then cock back your arm.  Bring forward your arm like you are throwing a spear and the rock will be released.
