Even muskets fired arrows. Musket arrows survive in inventories well into the 1620s, or perhaps even into the English Civil War era.

Interesting findings! I'd be very interested to try to throw one of them.
Can you please tell me where this picture is from?

Thank you - could you be more specific?
Don't you know the manuscript?
Thank you!

....I wrote the last post in a hurry, but now I am back.
Now that I have a minute to actually read the stuff on the page you linked to, I see that my post above was superfluous. I guess the lessen is to not post until I have read everything.

Nice one Tod. Have you tried hitting a target? Do these things penetrate better or worse than a regular javelin?

15 years? You have to start them young. Get them indoctrinated before they get distracted by electronic gadgets and boys.

My understanding is that the aztecs may have used it as well.
However what I want to know is WHO is being depicted in each picture, One of them shows a soldier in the spanish army as part of a battle against the english. Some of the people in the art look distinctly oriental/ middle eastern,
However the one that is a close up of an armoured hand holding the dart, the second last image on the first post, That one I can confirm is Austrian. |
The Atlatl, extremely accurate, and an easy grouping in about circle of four feet at range of 60 yards. Clout anyone?

I don't see where the Portuguese troops have them?
