I heard that this, the bow, and the blowgun was what separated us from the other hominids. So the other spear users dominated their hunting grounds, but I suppose we never found evidence the other hominids were able to use a "two stage tool" so we prolly killed them all in competition when we met?

At 0:47 he's wrong saying that atlatl is more accurate. It's actually less accurate than by throwing a javelin by hand as you don't have the fine control a wrist has. You can throw it faster but the downside is it's less accurate.

dont think the atlatl gives you more accuracy because it does not--they are almost impossible to aim except for a general area. in most cases natives throw them such as at a flock of birds and "hope for the best" For mammoth and large animals the atlats was in fact needed--they did not rush up with or throw spears like you envision--you cannot get the power.

@gunsnreelsoutdoors3796

5 жыл бұрын

Either you have never used an atlatl, or you haven't used one enough. A proficient thrower can get similar accuracy with an atlatl compared to the bow out to 20-25 yards. After that accuracy drops due to the drop of the darts due to their weight. Bows have an advantage of being able to carry more ammo, somewhat stealthier (you don't to step into the throw, just ruins accuracy) and have longer range. If you want to talk about shear killing power within 20 yard distances or less, the atlatl with a good dart is hands down Superior. My 100# longbow with a ~900 grain arrow doesn't even compare.
