It is a fire straightened wood shaft with a rolled cone sheet steel nose and a semi flexible plastic tail flight arrangement. It seems to do thr trick fine. I may get round to fitting an alternative flat profile expedient head or even a flint one! For the meet it will be as it is at the mo, but no less usable for that. TL.

Mine is bit of duct tape on a bamboo stick about 6 feet, my thinking at the time was to make a weapon for defence from what I felt was a common item i.e. bamboo and duct tape add to the mix a 5 inch nail or sharpened hard wood, and away you go it would kill no problem, more care and it would be deadly at longer range.

I can't find the Atlatl it’s somewhere mixed up with the kit.

Here few pics I just took of the spear.
