BELOW WE HAVE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO TAKE DOWN YOUR OWN SHAFT FOR MOUNTING OF YOUR SPEAR OR PIKE HEADS 

(NEW ARRIVAL) Traditional Hand Sling  

The sling was likely mankind's first, true projectile weapon. Hand weaved of traditional materials. It generally consists of two cords and a pouch. These cords are held in one hand and a projectile is placed in the pouch. The length of the sling provides greater mechanical advantage than one's arms.  Projectiles can be slung over 1500 feet (450m) at speeds exceeding 250 miles per hour (400 kph). The sling is unique in that the movement of the weapon is merely an extension of the user’s body. The power and accuracy of the weapon is not by technological means, but rather user skill. The connection between slinger and sling is an intimate one, a relationship rarely found in modern weaponry.

OUR NEW GUNSTOCK WAR CLUB

The gunstock club or gun stock war club is an indigenous weapon used by Native Americans, named for its similar appearance to the wooden stocks of muskets and rifles of the time. Gunstock clubs were most predominantly used by Eastern Woodland and Northern Plains tribes in the 18th and 19th centuries.  They were first used in the late 17th century but were in use by Northern Plains tribes, such as the Lakota by the mid-19th century. Many sources have noted that indigenous tribes created the design based upon European firearms.  The tribes who encountered British, French, and colonial soldiers were impressed by their usage of a musket that, once its shot was spent, could easily be reversed, held by the metal barrel, and used as a harrowing bludgeoning weapon in close quarters combat. Other historical sources have claimed that several tribes obtained muskets from traders and later modified them into club weapons. The 31" stock on this piece is Ambrosia Wormhole Maple with a 4 3/4 iron blade with a weight of 2 3/4 pounds. This piece can be thrown but we only recommend this to an experienced thrower. Made as a display and reenactment piece.

HOW TO CARVE OUT YOUR OWN SHAFT

FIRST YOU WILL NEED A WOODEN SHAFT OF THE LENGTH THAT YOU DESIRE

FIND YOUR CENTER AND DRAW A CROSS LINE SO YOU CAN ALWAYS SEE YOUR CENTER

THE BEST WAY TO BRING DOWN THE WOOD IS WITH A DRAW KNIFE BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE AVAILABLE WOOD CAN BE REMOVED BY A SANDER

REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS TO THE BASE IF YOU ARE CARVING OUT A PIKE OR ROUND OFF END FOR SPEAR
