Most of us wanted their targets ded, not bothered by a thrown stick.

Indeed

yeah what are you gonna kill with a string tied to a stick, birds? megafauna hunters had better shit. proof is the acute lack of megafauna left wandering around north america and eurasia.

straight-flying throwing sticks are actually super nasty and can kill kangaroos or people. it's hard to find good demonstrations of them, since the abbos long lost most of their actual traditions in favor of sitting around huffing gasoline.

Have you ever gone shooting? Like ever?

Boomerangs aren't weapons, they're toys. How the fuck are you supposed to hit something with a boomerang?

You practice

I once heard that the boomerang wasn't intended to return to the thrower, but to arch up into the sky so you could throw it at a flock of birds and hit them as they attempt to fly away.

>Because it doesn't actually return to you,

It does though. You have to throw it based on how the wind is blowing.

>yeah what are you gonna kill with a string tied to a stick, birds?

This is probably bait, but arrows can definitely kill big game, and obviously humans.

>straight-flying throwing sticks are actually super nasty and can kill kangaroos or people.

What the fuck do you think an arrow is? A straight flying stick flying much faster than you can throw it.

Birds are especially hard to hit and kill with arrows. The abo battle sticks were perfectly adapted to the fauna and terrain. Bows and arrows would have been useless against fast, hardy animals like kangaroos, monitors and emus on the open plains. A stick makes for broken legs, ribs, necks, plus the impact shock value, giving hunters time to:
a) run up to it and bonk it on the head
b) throw more sticks with more accuracy, at a now stationary target.
Comparing this with an arrow wound, which does cause bleeding but less shock and slowdown, you can see that sticks were the right choice.

Also, emus are even harder to kill than regular birds. Massive culling was attempted using military personnel and two truck mounted modern machine guns, during the "emu wars". They failed miserably. The best way to kill emus is with high power hollow point hunting ammunition or, you guessed it, by throwing sticks at their legs and necks. Bows would have been next to useless.

are Abos human or motor engines?

Quick Veeky Forums, the Abo has challenged you to a duel

Choose your weapon

I'll take the quad-prong-flubbawubba.

Most boomerangs and certainly all European examples of boomerangs were non-returning. You're wanking off over curved throwing sticks that were objectively inferior to the aborigines'.

Use the spear thrower to nuke you from across the map.

ignorance. covered it pretty well, but yeah bows and arrows were not adapted for hunting large game without some form of additional hunting power, such as a mount or poison. atlatls and straight-flying throwing sticks were generally much preferred where large game was a subsistence. atlatls deliver much more power than a bow and arrow, it's simply overkill for smaller game and takes much more practice to learn to use properly than a bow, similar to how a crossbow is easier to learn to use than a bow.

>A straight flying stick flying much faster than you can throw it.
yeah prick a kangaroo with a twig or break it's neck with a flying, spinning club, your choice.

this is Veeky Forums

>"... the white spectators were justly astonished at the dexterity and incredible force with which a bent, edged waddy resembling slightly a turkish scimytar, was thrown by Bungary, a native distinguished by his remarkable courtesy. The weapon, thrown at 20 or 30 yards [18 or 27 m] distance, twirled round in the air with astonishing velocity, and alighting on the right arm of one of his opponents, actually rebounded to a distance not less than 70 or 80 yards [64 or 73 m], leaving a horrible contusion behind, and exciting universal admiration."

watch out, racism isn't acceptable here.

of course you do you sensitive board culture ruining redditor

>A stick makes for broken legs, ribs, necks,

Bullshit.

Those sticks are useless for anything larger than a bird / iguana / rat. You're not going to get enough force to break shit on a roo' with one of those dumb ass sticks.

what's wrong with reddit?

banning and downvoting dissenting views, just like some people try to do with this place now

ignorance. you could google it and read about it instead of spread misinformation, you know.

oh, I get it. you're from \pol\.

Then why were the aboriginals hunting kangaroos with them upon colonization? Were they just hopelessly trying and failing?

Is this picture trying to suggest that /v/ isn't a shit board?

>taking the bait

Is this what the typical Australian looks like?

Proof?

None.

Sticks are only good for small game, and there is zero evidence to support their use for anything else, other than anecdotal tales by dumb ass whites that don't know any better.

Show me a vid of somebody using a stick to take down a roo', then, user.

youtube.com/watch?v=8yeyJK9E4I4

"anecdotal tales" is literally the entirety of pre-photography history, retard.
if you don't want to communicate on the same metric as we do.

>Zero evidence
>Mountains of anthropological data and eyewitness accounts
Your definition of "evidence" needs some work, or you need to learn to use google instead of talk about things you don't understand as though you understand them.

>"anecdotal tales" is literally the entirety of pre-photography history

No shit, asshole, and using sticks to take down medium sized game, like roo's, is just another example of the bullshit people believed before photographic evidence could confirm or deny said bullshit.

We're talking about throwing sticks, not boomsticks.

*blocks your path*

"NNHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH"

they stopped using them along with almost everything else after whites came to australia. there aren't any videos of aboriginals doing anything in-tact of their original culture. just shadows and tourist attractions.

so the mountains of eyewitness accounts of them using them in combat and for hunting were all lies, and a contemporary account of an anonymous user on Veeky Forums who doesn't understand a big stick can break bones holds more merit?

The longest thrown object of any kind was a boomerang 427 meters.

Look at the video in Those can definitely break bones, and they don't even seem as heavy duty as many surviving pieces.

>the mountains of eyewitness accounts of them using them in combat and for hunting were all lies

From where and from whom? Dumb ass white people, like you, that just ASSUMED they used them for hunting medium sized game instead of small game and birds?

Show me ONE fucking video of somebody taking down a roo's sized game animal with one of those dumb sticks, or fuck off.

It is well-documented that throwing sticks are capable of maiming not only the red kangaroo and emus, but other humans as well.

See

Many boomerangs had razor edges as well.

are you retarded? video cameras didn't exist when aboriginals had any intact culture. they use guns now, and don't even know how to make or throw throwing sticks past making tourist objects.

show me a video of the roman empire or it never happened. this is the logic you are using.

Video cameras didn't exist in the late 1700s.

You seem upset.

Son, I was shooting when you were probably still in diapers.

>"If it isn't on TV it isn't real!!!1!"
So history began around the 19th-20th century, then?

>I-I was only pretending to be retarded!!
okay?

I guess witches are real, and demons, and ghouls, and werewolves too, right? After all, they've been "documented" in history too...

We're done, morons.

no they aren't.

>Show me ONE fucking video of somebody taking down a roo's sized game animal with one of those dumb sticks, or fuck off.

Not with a light weight boomerang but one of those heavy throwing sticks is perfectly capable of killing a kangaroo with a head shot or breaking a limb, after which the abbo just follows it and kills it with a spear.

Years back when I was in Boy Scouts, were doing a one-week service outing on Mackinaw Island, where I had bought a cheepo plywood souvenir boomerang and was goofing around with it out in front of the Boy Scouts Barracks with some buddies, when an Australian tourist came up and told us about abbos and boomerangs and such.

He was able to throw this shitty dime-store boomerang a good 100 yards and have it skim along only 2”-3” off the ground, (which would have worked nicely for hunting small critters) where it would then swoop up in the air and come looping back to us (more or less).
