very scary indeed.

Do you have images of the impact? Can you throw it point first?
Does it survive the throw? Looks like it might break.

Well point first is kinda a perspective
They fly point first but are place in pouch with the
Point facing rearward
And as for durability I have never had one break
But have lost a few alway a little concerned about
Them being a caltrop
Pretty sure the lost ones are buried in the ground
That is the reason for the ju-ju points
Those I alway find lol

When I read caltrop I got a really bad idea. The only problem is that they would probably get caught on the sling while throwing.

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"
