Primitive Weapons actually got it's start in the 1970's, while I was studying Herpetology.
     The course of study led me to remote areas of the world where primitive tribes lived in harmony with the reptiles, quite different, I am sad to say, than our culture does.
     While studying these indigenous peoples, I was truly taken in by the methods of 
day to day survival they had to endure. Since childhood, being both a hunting  and
a weapons enthusiast, I was amazed by a Ecuadorian Warani Indian shooting a Howler Monkey from a tree 110' up with a dart from a Blowgun, or a Tehuelche Indian entangling a Rhea or Guanaco with a 2 or 3 ball Bola; a Peruvian shepherd hitting his game with a Sling or an Australian Aborigine killing a Kangaroo with a dart from a Spear Thrower. I could go on and on.
     With all this in mind, I decided not only to research these weapons more but, thought it would be interesting to make some. 
     This led to a Major Problem. There was not that much information that I could 
find out there. The library had most of the basics, but I was looking for detailed info.
I wish the Internet had been around then.
     Then while at a used bookstore, I stumbled across a few books published in the
early 20's, back before T.V. and Radio, when explorers wrote of their adventures
in books like El Jimmy Outlaw of Patagonia etc. Well I hit pay dirt. My library is 
now full of them. Each detailing the construction of the weapons I was attempting
to make.
     This was almost short lived when I conked myself on the head with a 2 ball
Boleadora, one of my favorite weapons.
     As the years went by, I rented a table at a local Gun Show to see if and how my
products would sell. Well they took off. The only problem was I could not keep up
with Blowgun production. So I ordered them from a place called The House of
Weapons in Utah. They sold a .38 caliber aluminum blowgun that was fun to shoot,
a lot like the blowguns that are all over the internet today, but not much of a hunting blowgun, unless you make your own darts,  but a great target gun.
     A lot of my customers ask about Poison. My answer is "Stay Away From Them".
     Like with all weapons practice makes perfect. This statement is especially true
with Primitive Weapons.
