I was thinking maybe a Atlatl competition? Everyone make a simple Atlatl with a couple of arrows ahead of time. They're cheap to make and a lot of fun.

Another simple primitive weapon is the Bola, again very easy to make. For competition you drive a few poles into the ground for targets. You then call your target that your aiming at and then attempt to throw the Bola around it. The further the pole the more points you get.

I will also bring my tomahawks and throwing knives. I believe Rick has brought the targets in the past. If we compete with Atlatls or primitive bows we'll need an archery target or two. On my way to Kentucky I'm going to try to pickup some flint from Flint Ridge in Ohio to be used for flintknapping.

If anyone is interested in learning fly tying I can bring the equipment and materials for that. This would also include learning how to tie a fly without regular tying equipment, just using what you can scrounge.

Sorry Rick, you looked like Crash for a moment there.

[Rick]

One of us was just insulted!

[crashdive123]

If we ever get around to figuring out which one, one of us is gonna be upset.

[Rick]

That right there is funny I don't care who you are. God bless them little round pygmies down there in New Guinea.

[pgvoutdoors]

Another primitive weapon that can be used in competition is the Throwing Stick (Rabbit Stick).

Now with this many things flying around you know theres going to be some fun, plus a chance for some great first aid training!

I will gladly trade atalatal lessons for instructions with the sling. I never have figured out how to make a sling work! anyone here able to throw a rock without getting beaned?

I just found a big patch of river cane I can loot and hopefully not get shot! It is growing on a railroad right of way so it shoud be fair game. That should be some good Atalatal darts.

Anyone have any excess turkey feathers? We can make the darts on the spot as another bit of skill training.

[pgvoutdoors]

I'll have to check but I believe I still have a dozen or so turkey wing feathers.

As far as throwing a sling accurately, I'm not going to be much help. I can at times get a Bola to go where I want it to, "sometimes"!

[Rick]

I'm sittin' in the truck. This is getting too dangerous. I hope Mammoth Cave Park has EMTs on staff.

"So, how'd he die?"
"We're not certain, chief. Some sort of blunt force trauma to the head at least twice."
"Why does he have reeds growing out of him."
"We were kinda wonderin' the same thing."
"What did those guys over there say?"
"Well, they are with something called wilderness-survival and they don't know anything. Trust me, they really don't know anything."

[equus]

My boys will probably bring their bows that we have made for them. Something easier and not as lethal for them. Mel and I will be bringing our
tomahawks as well. I haven't practiced all year so that will be fun.

I think Mel is also going to do a cobbler and a vegetable.

What does everyone like to drink?

[pgvoutdoors]

I drink mostly coffee or water when in the field.

If Mel wants to make a cobbler let me know what kind and I'll make a different one. I could always make something else, I don't mind, I like to cook.

[equus]

Let me ask him. Phil he is going to make a Blueberry cobbler. I am not a very good cook so not sure what I am going to do yet.

If people will say what they like to drink I may just stick with doing drinks.

[pgvoutdoors]

I'll make a Apple-Cranberry Cobbler.

[pgvoutdoors]

Dotty - one thing I do like to drink in the Fall is hot apple cider with a Cinnamon stick. Just don't tell my Marine Corps buddies!
