Really interesting read, altough it tends to get too technical. I've finished it today, when I started it the day before! Interestingly, the author has also taken into account the sling. In my corner of the country it's called the 'gopan' and is usually hand made by rural folks. Most farmers use it to chase away monkeys and nilgais, while some have actually perfected their use after using almost throughout their lives.
