I can see why the animal people think this is sort of inhumane.

Smellvin - 2009-05-20 No more inhumane than bowhunting which is legal. The whole objective of that is to shoot an animal in the lungs and let it run off and bleed out.

With a bow you have a pretty good chance of hitting your target (the heart) from a long range. This strikes me as ridiculously inaccurate;
this guy is a "pro" and he misses at less than 100 feet, and when he does hit he ends up taking out hitting a random part of its abdomen.
That doesn't strike me as very humane. Keep in mind, I don't really care that much. I eat meat, which means I support the most vile and inhumane practices against animals you can think of. I'm just pointing out that it seems you're going to have to be willing to finish the thing off with a hammer or knife if you want to indulge in this little hunting fashion of the week.

Smellvin - 2009-05-20 I put another video in the hopper of someone who knows how to actually use an atlatl. Yes, they take more practice and the effective range at which a person would be sure of a kill shot would be reduced (based on what I've read a max of 15 yards with an altalt versus the bow's 25), but it's entirely the same general principle as bowhunting.

-1 because the title is misleading. i would assume a master wouldn't have missed the first time

didn't seem to generate a heck of a lot of velocity with this thing. I'm guessing this was a precursor to bow technology.
