Missouri Man Becomes First Modern Man in State to Take Deer With Atlatl
In 2010, Missouri opened up deer hunting to hunters using a primitive weapon, the Atlatl.
The atlatl consists of a shaft with a cup or a spur at the end that supports and propels the butt of an arrow or spear. It is used to create a mechanical advantage, propelling the projectile at speeds up to 100 mph. The stone-age weapon was used to take down megafauna, such as mammoths and giant ground sloths. It was eventually replaced by the bow.
