I believe that in the original manuscript, it was pointed out that David used a scope that cost 35 shekels while his sling was an economy model costing only about 5 shekels. (It is also worth nothing that it was generally accepted that he went for the aerodynamically-superior, but more costly, stream-rounded stone rather than opting for the common, everyday, side-of-the-road rock, rightfully realizing that the cost of the premium projectile was neglibible when compared to the cost of the hunt.)
(Further note: It was also fairly well accepted at the time that he chose the heavy, .44 finger-width stone over the lighter, despicable 9mm finger-width stone. The result speaks for itself.)


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
