lets see. id use em to twist varmints out of their hole. then id put the sticks in the ground next to a fire with a green stick crossing the two to use as a spit. if the heads were a bit shorter they would be great for snakes or even pinning fish along the shore. i could use one of em for the trip on a dead fall. i'll try to come up with more ideas nbut the kids are screaming for me. peace

Did I mention I know what it is.  ::) ::)  It was used by the NA in Mexico too. A similar weapon was used on other continents, a little different shape though.  Probably one of the original hunter gatherer weapons, don't you think Bob.  Justin

      Antrpologists think it outdates the bow by thousands of years and maybe the atlatal. That is if you believe them  ::) Ancient Utes (Yampah), woodland tribes, west Coast NA'S,  plains trbes(before the Spanish introduced horses)  southeast an midwest tribes. Almost all soceities used them here in North America. Another hint..men and boys used them in NA soceities and Paleo Indian groups. ;) Like Justin said, probably one of the original hunter gather weapons fer the hunt. BTW, it works as good today as it did then, I know I have used the 2 you see. ;D........bob
