Kayle's sling is a two-handed Ranged weapon. It requires 1 Ranged to hold and does not require ammunition of any kind. It replaced Kayle's shortbow so new players could train ranged without arrows.
It offers a +6.5 ranged strength bonus and a +5 ranged attack bonus, thus better stats than a normal sling. It has the same speed as a shortbow. This item is popular among low levelled players due to the fact that no ammunition is required and that it is given freely as a quest reward for The Blood Pact. If lost, it can be re-obtained from Xenia, outside the Lumbridge Catacombs, along with the other cultists' weapons. It should also be noted that pures can get one by starting the quest, grabbing Kayle's sling and then go outside without completing it.
It is a good training weapon for low levelled rangers, because it is free and has better Ranged strength than bronze and iron knives, although it is slightly slower and is a two-handed weapon so many players prefer to use knives anyway. It is much more useful in free worlds, as it has attack strength near to bronze arrows but without need for ammo, thus ideal to be used at weak monsters to train. A good set of full ranged armour is recommended though to compensate its low accuracy.
Along with the regular Sling, Kayle's Sling cannot be used for PvP, doing so will put a message in the chatbox saying you cannot, making this a great range weapon for using or safespotting in the wilderness with only 3 items, as you can't attack players unless they disarm you.
When a player's Ranged level increases to level 5 (or using a few times while already having at least level 5), equipping the Sling will result in a message stating that at this ranged level, it would be better to use bows and arrows. It also directs you to the advisory icon in the corner of the screen. After clicking through the first message, there are no future messages about the sling not being recommended for the Ranged level.
| “ | Continued use of the sling is not recommended at this Ranged level. You will find more benefit from using a shortbow with arrows or a crossbow with bolts.

Along with the sling, Kayle's sling has a 0.9x damage multiplier; it hits 90% as much as would be expected with its Ranged Strength.<ref>Obliv. "The Max Hit Formula". 29-Mar-2009. Skills Forums. *</ref>

Trivia
- When dying against another player with the sling on and Retribution activated, the prayer will not do any damage to the other player. The game message says that the sling cannot work in PvP.
