Hello !
Last week in Pfortsheim (Germany)I was shooting at the zone champonships with my matchlock .(the event Hizadai)
I was asked,when I was using a sling,if I could prove that in the old days,they used a sling also.
Has any of you a sketch or the title of a book where I can find anything about this subject.
It would be logical that they where used becouse the oulder crossbow had a carryingbeld also,witch can be used as a sling,and I see no reason why the should stop using it,at the introduction of the matchlock,and than re use it again with the flintlock.
