The Golden Sling of Ansteorra
History
The Golden Sling of Ansteorra is a continuation of the Golden Thrown Weapons of Ansteorra. A brain child of Jonathan of York and Romanius Vesperianus, the golden sling is the first golden weapon designed to be used in any challenge.
The sling itself is 100% cotton thread that was woven using multiple forms to create a truly unique design. the primary cord is a 8 string Kumihimo cord. The cradle (or pouch) is 2x 4 cord lucet cords connected across the center with a flat solomon weave. Additional solomon weave is used to re-enforce the transitions moments between kumihimo and lucet weaves. The retention cord (finger loop side) is a spiral solomon weave while the release cord (knot side) is a 10 string golden spiral kumihimo ending with a simple whip cracker. It is designed to throw our currently approved SCA ammo (tennis balls).
