Just be mindful where you’re slinging. This thing lobs egg-sized rocks 100 meters easily and 200 - 300 meters with practice. Impact from one is painful at best - deadly at worst.

More a target spectrum than specificity, really. Deterring livestock predators got more challenging when they started armoring and religifying them. Wolves, you can hit just about anywhere with a slung stone or three and they’ll fuck right off. Bootlickers, conscripts, brotherhoods, etc.? Less so.
