{{RTOC}}
The '''staff sling''', also known as the stave sling, [[page type is::definition|consists]] of a staff (a length of wood) with a short [[sling]] at one end. One cord of the sling is firmly attached to the stave and the other end has a loop that can slide off and release the projectile. Staff slings are extremely powerful because the stave can be made as long as two meters, creating a powerful lever. Ancient art shows slingers holding staff slings by one end, with the pocket behind them, and using both hands to throw the staves forward over their heads.

The staff sling has a similar range to the shepherd's sling, and can be as accurate in practiced hands. It is generally suited for heavier missiles and siege situations as staff slings can achieve very steep trajectories for slinging over obstacles such as castle walls. The staff itself can become a close combat weapon in a melee.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_(weapon)#Staff_sling</ref>

Unlike the sling, a staff sling can be used to parry.
