I, Caveman

Never one to miss an opportunity, Manu makes use of the original tools and trappings from her I,CAVEMAN show. On the right, you can see Manu today, during one of her camps, throwing the Atlalt: a spear-thrower or atlatl (/ˈɑːt.lɑːtəl/ /ˈæt.lætəl/; is a tool that uses leverage to achieve greater velocity in dart-throwing, and includes a bearing surface which allows the user to store energy during the throw. Proper flex in the atlatl dart is imperative in both distance and accuracy. ... This stored energy allows the dart to fly farther and to have more force on impact than a rigid spear. An atlatl dart can be thrown with the same penetrating power as an arrow shot from a 50-pound-draw longbow. Hunting and target range is typically 10 to 30 yards, but the world-record throw is over 848 feet.
