they were used for multiple reasons, first was probably hunting, and the second to protect their flock from foxes and ground carnivores, but also from crows. A crow can pick the eyes out of a sheep while they are still alive, so it was necessary to have an accurate way to stop them. Since the shepherds, being poor, its likely they started out simply throwing rocks at predators, the sling was simply a cheap and much more highly effective protection.
