For those interested in very early archery try this.

60,000 BCE give or take. There is a lot of discussion in archaeology circles about the demise of the Neanderthal, I can't help wondering whether the fact that their arms were no good for archery had an effect.
Does anyone do Hominid re-enactment? Too early? You get to have fire, bows and shoes so it must have been reasonably bearable. |

Is anyone familiar with American Reenactment? Do you know who the Tuchux are?
They act Barbarians loosely modelled after the Barbarians of Gor.
A group of my household one year dressed (or undressesd) to loincloths smeared with dirt, and went to heckle & throw mud at the Tuchux camp.
Yaaaaaah! Effete tool users!! Cooking utensils!! Boooo!!! Ppppppbbbbth... You sleep indoors you degenerate slobs!!! Gotta have a rooo-ooof!! Gotta have a rooo-ooof!!
We barely escaped with our lives. Scouting the darkness escape route through the woods turned out to be a good idea after all. |

Hey Drakki
That was a cool article, went on to read some of the oter related articlkes as well.
As for the Tuchux looked them up as well, I do not think that they would be very welcome at the meetings here, take things a little to seriously. |
