    Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn’t know it was an arrow at the time.

    I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?

      There were those little flinger things that they’d put little spears on. Those might be considered proto arrows.

      Yeah, atlatls had fletched arrows

        Would love to do some atlatl throwing again, not really sure if there is a way to legally do it in the park or somewhere like that though and my garden is far too short for it.
