One of the greatest inventions in prehistory. This tech spread like wildfire cause whoever had it meant their throwing spears struck harder & it gave them far greater stand off range. Some tribes STILL use it today.
This was used for tens of thousands of years, earliest reliable sources are from 17,000-20,000 years ago. You can throw a projectile over 90mph and it was used to pierce the thick skin of megafauna such as wooly mammoths. Most effective range is about 20 meters but it can be thrown much farther with relative accuracy.

this is how alaskan natives go hunting in the ocean. you should mention the history behind it and why its used and what for, this in lil fights was a nasty weapon
For anyone wondering an Archeologist once told me it wasn't about accuracy but rather just having 20 of your homies fling those at a Bison heard in the hopes that one will hit
At short distances that thing could be devastating. Poor critters haven't stood a chance for a long time. But I am sure they were used on human beings as well just as soon as they were invented.
It could be a little camouflage so they don't look as dangerous to the feds and the banks that keep trying to freeze their finances for subversive activity.
It depends on where you are, but the best would be any kind of river cane or bamboo. Any somewhat straight piece of wood with little to no knots works. You can straighten any minor bends with heat. ✌️
Teaching people to trap which takes less skill and material to make seems like a better use of time and calories in a survival situation instead of practicing spear throwing
It's a whole lot more useful telling people to carry a Bic lighter than teach them all these crazy fire lighting techniques. Yet they still teach them. Why do you think that is?
