  There were those little flinger things that they’d put little speares on. Those might be considered proto arrows

    Would love to do some atlatl throwing again, not really sure if there is a way to legally do it in the park or somewhere like that though and my garden is far too short for it.

        I looked up a while back, the nearest NFAS club is miles away and not sure if they would allow atlatls or not.

        You can get rubber blunt arrowheads though, pretty sure that could be used in public just fine as its not like its a weapon. Go for a quiet spot so that no one is really aware of it in the first place and they can’t complain.

    Thanks, had forgotten “atlatl,” gonna try it in NYT Spelling Bee next time it has those letters.

  In my archaeology/anthropology classes in college, we were taught to say “projectile points” instead of “arrowheads” for basically this reason.
