rock slinging thing

[Koom Di' Puts]

Ok... I have revisited the sling-shot posts made famous by the idiot briging a sling-shot to play test at spring wars, that went pretty well.

Now the sling shot was flung right out after a heated discussion that led to realism/period. (I'm still waiting on the historic troll bone guys)

On a different front I have been working on different was of making lacross (sp) sets all foamed up. I don't believe slings/ staff slings safe. Thats why I went this route.
Now going a little further. Thats a stick, foamed up with a net. I'm still working on a playtestable one.
What I would like some feed back on is that with a net it could be considered entangling by those lovely weapon checking people at certain events.
aside from that note, would a... bear with me now... Tenniss racket type device all foamed up with net exposed work? I am going to make a few different play testable ones. I know the lacross would be iffy due to the net. The "Tennis Racket" Would be bad also... I am going to try on with either cloth or thin leather spread over that net to counter that.

Any Ideas, complaints, comments

Well, the lacrosse stick could possibly be made safe (as an example) by removing part of the loop (so no hands could get stuck inside the loop) and replacing the net with a piece of leather shaped like a scoop.

As for the tennis racket, I was using my axe like that at Equinox. It seemed rather safe...

Would it pass with tight netting (Too small for fingers) or would I have to go with the leather I mentioned above?

It would probably only pass as an exception, not according to particular rules. So your best advice is to talk to your local realm's weapons checkers and Heralds and see how they'd prefer that you go.
