Tripping Me Up

Shilah gathered his pieces. He set the pouch in front of him and them placed a piece of the leather cord on either side of the pouch. "Well, I'm making a sling. It's a way to hurl projectiles. I hope it will work as a long distance weapon but if not it should make for a little bit of fun. Here I'll show you just a moment."

Picking up one of the leather strands he tied a knot in one end then repeated the process with the other. Next he threaded the leather through the corresponding holes in the leather pouch. He then tied a knot for each of these so that it was all connected.

Shilah let the sling rest as he moved his attention back to the ammo. He picked up one of the stones and set it gently in the pouch to see how well it held. Oops, this one was too big. He set it aside and tested a few more before finding one that fit. He set the stone in the pouch then picked up both leather straps. He held one end tightly farther back in his jaws and the other loosely. Turning his head sharply to the side he let one strand go while holding onto the other. The result was the rock flew through the air and landed with a thud several feet away. Shilah set the sling down and grinned. "Like that. All it is is a piece of leather for the pouch and two pieces for the cords. You can probably throw whatever you want for ammo."
