an associate spent several years doing missionary work in outback of brazil.
they brought home a bow and arrow. the arrow is longer than bow..
think of movie of someone shooting a monkey out of a high tree.

Let's see a longbow and arrows I made. I usually carry (if I can't carry otherwise) a big handkerchief with half a roll of quarters tied in one end , it makes a great improvised blackjack, or a good striking weapon, or a garrot.Survival question. What do I need most, right now?

A number 303 size can of green beans in a sock? A computer monitor from behind the door? (Flat screen would suck for this one.) Contents of a cup of hot coffee to the face, followed by the cup itself to the face? Can of hair spray/deodorant sprayed in the face? Just about anything sprayed in the face? I tend to think in terms of what's around, rather than a specifically designated "weapon." Hey, a floor lamp will do some damage if you've got room to swing it, right? I've got most of the traditional martial arts weapons, but they're in a bag in the back room. I have knives scattered all over, but I really don't want to get close enough to a bad guy to use one. I have a CCW and carry, but I really, really don't want to have to use it. I'm thinking more in terms of prevention, but if it came down to it, anything I could get my hands on.

as a kid i knew every gun in the house... there weren't many.
but.. when my dad "sold out" to move. he put an old shotgun in the yard sale.
taped up. beat up. poor.
the story behind the gun.
things were tough in the 30's in south georgia.
but granddad had a poor truck that he would "rent out"
renting the truck got you a truck and driver (my dad at about 14)
it was rented out to haul the dead to the church and to help people move most of the time.
--
guy was moving. dad and the truck had worked all day. the bill was 2.40
but the guy didn't have enough money. he kept trying to give dad a shotgun and shells for partial payment.
dad kept saying "no sir, thank you sir, but we really need the cash"
they would find another nickle and another couple of pennies. but not enough cash.
no one had spending money.
so dad eventually took a dollar and the shotgun/shells.
when he got home his dad ( my granddad) whipped him
they really needed the cash.
--
so i paid $5 and bought the gun. it's over my mantle.
it is a reminder.
of how things were.
and how things might get again.

An Atlatl. Though it wasn't unusual 10,000 years ago.
The spear thrower is made of aluminum flat stock with a racket ball handle JB welded on to it. The darts are made from two aluminum arrows and can mount modern broadheads. Nifty play toy but it's not very accurate past 25 yards. Some folk still hunt hogs with them. Historically the Atlatl was used to hunt mammoths, with what I assume to be hit and run tactics."All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" - Edmund Burke
