Throwing rocks

Yeah, you can find youtube videos with guys shooting slings waaay off into the distance, and historical account seem to give them at least 100 yards (in some ancient cases they're stated to out-range bows, so maybe 200+ yards depending on the bows in use in whichever army). But bows also have prohibitive DX modifiers at longer ranges if you don't consider long distance shooting rules (I forget how these work in old ITL and haven't read the latest new ITL on it yet). So for either you need additional rule to resolve "formation shooting."
