My other primitive weapons
Oct 15^th, 2016 at 8:04am

I've made a few other weapons in addition to the many slings and I'd thought I'd show off my efforts here.
I made a bolas from paracord and some large hex nuts and it works really well when my aim is true.
I made another bolas with braided string and large washers which was more an experiment to see how well it would work more than anything and it does seem to work pretty well but is more prone to tangling than the paracord version.
I've had a go at making an atlatl using a peice of wood with a large burl on one end to act as a weight and it works alright. The only problem is finding good wood to make the darts.

I'm not sure of the name but just having it as wood, it's a little weak and gets mashed up quite quickly.
