Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Quote The wiki doesn't say, but I've always understood the sling to be less accurate than a bow, at least at range, so the bow would probably still dominate outside close range, until one gets beyond longbow range where only slings could reach. On the other hand, bowyery and fletching are good only for making bows and arrows, whereas the skills to make a sling and sling-stones or shot are widely used. Slings could become the common ranged weapon of the masses, while bows are reserved for professional use. Actually slings are surprisingly accurate, depending on how they're used. Sacrificing range for a very quick over arm throw is surprisingly accurate, but of course very short range Edited October 27, 2016 by Cyiko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
