I thought that they retained their shields when using slings, (no shield holders required), but that they would need to go into a more open formation. |

Might be hard to put the stone in the sling with one hand holding a shield? Dunno, I've never tried… |

I suppose you could just lean it up against your knee when reloading. I have read the Roman EIR shields had "fatigue straps" but I am not sure of the archaeological evidence behind such a statement. |
