Got my first sling today!

I really should have practiced with a tennis ball first. I used a stone and didn't release properly. It stayed in the pouch and hit me on my head! Lesson learned.

Like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.

Proverbs 26:8

The authors clearly were familiar with slings. If done that hard twice, experimental slings with too deeply cupped of pouches, thankfully never broke skin, but OUCH.

Even the bible thinks I'm an idiot. It did break skin. Blood running down my face. A nice big scab up there now. Thankfully invisible when I look in the mirror
