Yes I killed jack rabbit with it. It removed the middle leaving hind legs and head about two feet apart. I was also a pitcher in college.

Although a lot of manuscript images of the sling are

Can the shepherd's sling be lethal on one throw?
A shepherd's sling can be lethal on one throw depending on the size of the stone, I believe.
