As with most shooters (archers, longbow, crossbow) you can lessen friendly fire by putting the slingers to the flanks of your army.

Also they work well in the bait-and-gauntlet tactic. Having hvy units do hold-and-attack closest, then have the slingers do a fire-and-flee. They will run forward, hit units with poison, then run back thru your holding line.

ummm...I will try that and see how it works out.
